Metallurgical- Part of the many important share price catalysts to come for AVZ that other companies have already been through.
Remember it is not only the quantity of the lithium out there but the quality, and AVZ's deposits has the least deleterious elements compared to its peers needed for new generation batteries. Literally, lithium sourced from inferior deposits make new generation batteries inoperable! see HERE
Others like MIN's Wodinga deposit have been shown to be fouling Chinese processors.
This from an independent reviewer:
MIN's Wodinga DSO ore:"concentrates selected by most of the selected plants still have problems such as high iron content, low recovery rate and unstable product quality." Zhongtai Securities. go HERE
So much evaluation upside for AVZ compared to our competitors, including:
-5Mtpa and 10 Mtpa scoping studies
-Metallurgical Analysis
-FFS including updated transport plan with tin credits indicating the viability of the project.
-Offtake
-New Chairman
-Mine Construction and Commissioning
-First shipment
I am mobilising funds to take advantage of these ridiculous low prices!
