When is AVL likely to have a vanadium mine up and running?, page-9

Cheers yes touché! Yes just out of school only been 10 months here compared to long termers.
As long as you understand the reference I was making here. The rules of the game to go mining are you have to go through a hell of a lot of regulatory requirements on all fronts .Dotting every i and crossing every t before
1; the government will allow you to go mining
2; entities will invest hundreds of millions of dollars
3; you don’t infringe any ASX, ASIC codes of conduct.

My point being that as a company you can’t go running around making statements/ promises at a drop of a hat if you want to go mining .You have to do all the hard work mostly behind closed doors before you can announce anything, and even then things can go astray..
Last year I set up a small mining operation and after six months of applying and being granted permits ( enviro, heritage, access, waste,power etc etc ) it STILL stuffed up due to the particular interpretation of one permit ( turned out a Mines dept fault ), but until it was solved the project had little value because if couldn’t go forward.
So myself I like a bit of an impassioned view.I like analysing the nuts and bolts of a project , how it’s truely coming together (or not), I try and avoid looking at flashing lights, people calling out fire, and sexy bikini chics.
So yeah I’m happy with my decision to pick up another 1 million options last week.
