Enough of this answering pointless questions. Naive maybe., clever in a subtle way more likely.
Just reread the last RNS and a previous TSTR presentation
"The plant is due to produce its first antimony metal in June 2018. SPMP expects the plant to then ramp up to a production rate of between 2,000-3,000 tonnes/month by the end of the year (circa 50% of design capacity). Negotiations are also underway to sell the antimony metal to key customers and the gold dor� to a gold refinery."
Missed the bit re negotitaions esp on gold which is excellent news, you dont strike sales conversations if you a long way off from production.
"PRODUCTION: 20,000 tonne per annum of antimony product capacity (10% of world demand) conforming to
EU environmental standards, targeting European and Middle-East demand"
This plant when fully operational will supply 10% of world demand - thats huge - and to EU environmental standards. Now ask yourself how much of the current production conforms to EU environmental standards and how much demand there will be for it going forward. Thats a good question IMO.
