Merc, FRG is still very early stages. Ignore all the world class grades hype, as you know I'm sure, it's easy to spin things.
They did have a great assay result for that month, but some of the spin is making it sound like ever found, which simply isn't true. If you compare FRG's results to say an ALL you can see the massive difference in stages at this point in time. ALL has FRG results but times 10 plus in terms of number of big returns.
FRG also had many assay results which showed areas as not commercially viable.
That's not positive or negative spin, just the true story as per the RNS's which you can check out yourself.
FRG is miles off being a KOD or ALL and comparisons at this point, as seen above are silly. I think trying to compare puts off investors from investing here tbh as quickly they see it isn't a KOD or ALL (yet).
BUT, don't let that make you think it doesn't have it's positives. It does. It has funding (as long as RICCA stay happy and take up each stage) to get itself to DFS status, now given most juniors will have diluted their holders down by 600 plus % to get to that stage, knowing your not likely to get diluted down until DFS (although RICCAs stake does dilute but you get my point I'm sure), is a big plus. Yes they still have to sort a deal IF they are to take to mine from there, but that's still a long way off and plenty can happen between now and then too. The recent soil grabs have found 2 more peg areas, which may or may not contain more Lith but will get drilled to find out.
Just like comparing to KOD or ALL for Mcaps is bad at this point, so is having like for like expectations to me. FRG has literally just started out really. Its like KOD 2016/2017, not KOD today. Yes it still has to work out shipping routes etc, but it isn't really fair to judge it like a company that has had 5 years plus to do that. I've no doubt by DFS in a few years they will have worked out those details considerably more.
As it stands today, FRG is early doors, it has money to drill and thus money to build up an MRE and add value to its Mcap and in turn SP, if those drills go well.
That's your upside here. After DFS, who knows, they might even sell. Not everything has to go to mine to unlock shareholder returns, but its foolish to think anyone can tell this early on.
Ohh and they aren't just a Lith play, although the Lith makes the news more as its in vogue right now.
Of course, that info is only useful if your weighing up on if to invest or not. If its simply a case of just posting to discredit anyone who isn't your prefered explore/miner then the above is somewhat pointless as nothing can change that.
