RE: So i did some calculations27 Apr 2023 09:58
I posted some figures in regards to the lithium plant operating a single shift based on the recent Roast podcast.
That thread is on the 2nd page now.
There are 3 things to understand in regards the lithium plant revenues/profits.
1. The gate-fee is pure profit as this will eventually not be paid when competition increases.
2. The black-mass figures expected at IPO were £3500/tonne.Currently, they are between £5000-£6000 per tonne.Assuming average of £5500, the additional £2000 must be profit too.
3.I estimated the same profit margin on £3500/tonne as they forecast for the lead-acid plant which is 30%.
If you find my figures, that should give you an understanding of the expected profits.(Well, based on my calcs which other people also feel are reasonable).
Hope that helps.
