A turnaround for me would be, as a first step, achieving breakeven on copper production. Once that is achieved (assuming it is!) we should be in a better place, with cash coming in from One Chrome and future expansion options across the current Molefe mine area and wider licenses, along with a JORC planned for the end of the year which will hopefully allow investors to put a value on the mine itself.
Once Molefe scales up to 10,000 tpm of RoM to Sable at 1.5% or more grade, that would be 150 tpm contained copper, or 450 tonnes / quarter. If you add that to Roan production of something like 900 tonnes / quarter. You would be on an annual run rate of ~5,400 tonnes / year. Stepping up from there would need the ore sorting system in place which is going to be several months away. That should push the annual run rate up over 6000 tonnes. Hopefully that's enough to breakeven although costs are significantly up compared to what they were expected to be.
LWP realistically is still months away from any kind of production even if they announced a deal this week but just getting it signed and sealed would be a big plus.
