Now you might like to consider that the long form agreement is being finalised as we speak which may or may not involve a substantial commitment from SKI and possibly the reason they did not take up the share option.
It's quite possible the agreement may involve forward payments and options as alluded to by BB.
Take a moment also to consider the revised BFS due out in April which will improve the metrics substantially and further de-risk the financing arrangements with Government, Tier 1 lenders, SKI and other foreign entities. This is all happening now as we speak.
Take a moment also to consider the perfect storm that is occurring in the battery materials sector with Nickel projected to climb through 15000 USD/Ton this year and 21000 USD/Ton 2021-2022. Cobalt is expected to be in deficit early around the same period (2021-2022).
The energy and transport disruption is happening and the inflexion point is predicted to occur 2021-2022 just as AUZ start producing. Remember bankers look at the long term picture when it comes to financing these projects and with 500 Billion US being invested in the sector in the next 5 years its a slam dunk !
