Forgot to add the Shorecan valuation (below), worth noting this is just for Lake Wells, they have a total of 9 lake beds to extract SOP from (remember SOP is more valuable than the much more common MOP). Given the scale of the resources it is easy to see why a buy out at 20X current m/cap is my target after the demonstration plant is up and running
"Valuation: significant upside potential
Our ‘base’-case post-tax FY2018 NPV10% valuation for Salt Lake Potash is £259m (114p/share FD). This valuation considers primary SOP production at Lake Wells only, based on the lake’s current resource estimate. It does not provide the potential for production of co-products/by-products, ‘secondary’ SOP production from Muriate of Potash (MOP) conversion, renewal of SOP resources as a result of brine recharge, or production from the other lakes in the GSLP.
