Lithium surging, beware of an approach from better funded Cornish lithium or ALK for WL..

WL directors just too slow to catch a cold.

Building a decent holding whilst it’s quiet ?

With lithium surging and Weardale discussed in parliament fingers xxd for a green light 🚦

Govt should be sent this video every day as a reminder of their inability to do anything.. message your MP’s etc etc

Weardale Lithium - A £1 Billion Plus Vision – Stewart Dickson, CEO

We await the directors to create the “Additional “ shareholder value that they keep hinting at..

So far zip !!!!

Good to see sellers at 60% of historic NAV getting locked out ahead or increased focus on WL lithium circular economy?

Buys being filled before an update ?? If a biggie could be a while at this rate..

Closely held even before any news.

Looks like govt set to provide assistance to teeside and County Durham to fastrack this lithium green supply chain.

Mine to the grave all in the North East ?

So if Cornwall is aiming for 10.000t per annum and the UK wants to produce 50,0000t does this make WL nailed on ?

To ensure clear industry and government progress towards delivering the Vision 2035 in partnership, we define success as:

at least 10% of annual UK demand for critical minerals (see Table 1) in the aggregate is met through domestic production (primary extraction, processing and refining of critical minerals) by 2035

as part of this, at least 50,000 tonnes of lithium (or lithium carbonate equivalent[footnote 1]) is produced domestically by 2035

Some big names already in Mac, WL about to bring a few more in perhaps ?

Budget day fast approaches,

While the UK has some financing and grant processes in place to support certain critical mineral projects at specific levels, there is an opportunity to provide more bespoke, targeted grant funding to help deliver our growth mission. Following Spending Review 2025, funding of up to £50 million will be made available by DBT to support critical mineral projects, which could include expanding research and innovation as well as supporting commercialisation.

Regional clusters

UK strengths are concentrated in clusters across the UK – including Aberdeen, Belfast, Birmingham, Cornwall, Devon, County Durham, Fort William, South Wales and Teesside – where the right expertise, geological and geographical assets make these places optimal for domestic production. Additionally, the UK’s investment zones and freeports, such as Teesside, offer a strong base on which to build and scale up critical mineral businesses. These will be strengthened through the Industrial Strategy Zones Action Plan.

Bod have constantly confirmed looking at other ways to create shareholder value, for me I would distribute Weardale shares directly to Mac holders on a listing of WL IF get govt backing.

THEN reverse Stubben edge with a £200m valuation into Mac, there are multiple hnw involved with all parties.

x10 once all done and dusted ?

From a few weeks ago and persona dodging the UK due to uk govt stalling etc.

We will publish a new Critical Minerals Strategy soon to help secure our supply chains for the long term, and we’re reducing industrial electricity costs for businesses as part of our modern Industrial Strategy.

Tick tock

Now if only a switched on govt. Could do an infrastructure build to lay a pipe from WL to Teesside giving continuous lithium brine to the refiner !!!

Same with govt investing in water dams to sell to the water companies!!

Switched on minds needed however.

To be seen favouring the SWest whilst ignoring NEast !!!

They’ve spent £100m+ in Cornwall so far and it’s years off production.

Could WL be fastracked so lithium producing in 2026 ?

With lithium surging, Rachel from accounts could actually say investing at the bottom and she may well be correct for once.

Tbh we don’t want WL locking in supply deals down here, 12 months ahead prices should be about right.

All aligning nicely.

Time zone for news approaching ?

If WL is to break ground in 2026 the project funding will need to be signed off in 2025 imho
