Just like to throw the thought of a possible takeover out there.
As you may or may not know, Chris Ellison (Mineral Resources) has a love for lithium and is already well and truly cuddled up in bed with Albemarle.
"Ellison himself has described 2019 as looking like the most important year in MinRes history. But while execution will be the focus, Ellison is unlikely to stop doing deals anytime soon."
As I've spruiked earlier, A40 is ripe for the picking, given it's in production, with a quality product and a very low SP.
With a current market cap around $330m this also fits within MinRes, historical targeted range, for a takeover.
Also, having been involved with other stocks where MinRes has made a takeover bid, stocks are in a trading halt for an extended period of time, with extensions applied. Just as we are seeing right now....
As minority shareholders at around 17.5% and the remainder of shares held by the top 20 holders, anything is possible.
What scares me, if this was to play out, MinRes are well known for their low ball offers.....
We live in interesting times, so, we standby and see what unfolds!
All in my opinion.
As always, do your own research.
Already seeing consolidation in the sector. Although a little old, I don't think the story below is dead and buried yet. Considering GXY's SP, hope their buying with scrip! Wouldn't a battle between Galaxy and MIN be nice?

Taxing times could put Galaxy's focus on Tawana

When
Galaxy Resources raised $386 million from the sale of some lithium tenements in Argentina in May, the money looked destined to be spent on construction of its $US474 million Sal de Vida lithium brines project in Argentina.
But the introduction of a new tax in Argentina and a sharp fall in the share price of Australian lithium producers could see that money spent closer to home.
And few lithium miners are closer to home for Galaxy than
Tawana Resources.
Tawana's $173 million market capitalisation could be acquired by Galaxy using less than half the proceeds of Galaxy's recent Argentinian tenement sale.
Well-placed sources told Street Talk on Thursday that Galaxy was sitting just below the 5 per cent ownership level on the share register of both Tawana, and the Singapore-listed company that is currently merging with Tawana: Alliance Mineral Assets.
Galaxy had declined to comment at the time of going to print.
