“ Trouble is Prem needs the end material from a pilot plant to fund the business. There lies the problem”
Your are joking of course.
The only way to approach investing in PREM in my mind, is long term. An initial chunk of my holding is from 0.05 days after reading up some interesting assessments around long term value of Zulu and PREM three years ago. Enormous and giddy predictions. Yet at that time, only KOD was being promoted as the poster-child investment for the future of lithium in Africa. A contrarian view led me to look at PREM instead, then seen by some as a lifestyle company for George’s passion; geological field work, research and discovery. Since the lead up to the EPO there has been some explosive volatility. There have been scary controversial moments along the way. That’s why I tend to steer clear of these boards as much as possible. No doubt, A few traders will have skimmed off reasonable profits along the way, helped by using fud, unprovable negatives, etc, but timing is utterly random and subject to extreme Brownian (fantasy) emotion. From the EPO onwards, I have maintained some discipline, stuck to the fundamentals and have believed any unknowns, short term bugs, etc will be cleared one way or another. The long outlook is superb - however one sees the short term. Bashing GL is also ludicrous, wasn’t he a superhero a week or so ago? . I think he has been about as open as he can be, with or without his personal agenda.
A lot of stress for him. But I feel he is the right man with strong understanding not only geological but also of Zimbabwean politics and the not unreasonable difficulties of an arrested but rebuilding, though struggling, economy. We have received a robust communication from GR’s choice of Stark, clearly invested at a reputational level with a lot riding on a successful outcome of the new modular mining system just as much for them.
Everyone wants to avoid embarrassment, including Canmax, and no doubt will work to produce a fair and workable outcome for all and not throw a spanner in the works.
Setting up the mine obviously costs money. Prem is resource rich and about to prove it beyond doubt. A compromise deal will be found imv and the fabulous journey will continue. It may cost a few extra shekels in the short term - but not unreasonably.
LTHs: £10K invested two years ago, today worth 100-150K* in spite of dilutions and still, I feel, amazing value ! I would suggest keeping an eye on comparative MCap and PE potential among peers for future guidance.
I wish long-term-holders the best of luck. To the rest of you,
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth!
