how many Ian Middlemas companies have you seen this happen to?

If you dont know who he is I suggest you google him and his track record because most of his companies have big success stories with BKY being the latest to go from similar levels as CXX to $1.20

Yes still risk here as they need offtakes and funding but with IM at the helm Id say the odds of success are improved
