EVs and debt to best of my knowledge.
Please tell me if wrong, I think accurate.
All companies should be at full run rate by mid next year.
If these figures come to pass, A40 towards lower end of costs guidance and belief that increasing resource is a matter of when not IF then it’s the most compelling buy based on the above metrics at these levels imo. Not to mention Relatively low capex to double production should resources come good and demand/pricing remain robust.
Worth considering that Ganfeng May provide the most security as a partner but at the sacrificing of price received. Tricky one. AJM somewhere at $700-800, PLS could be similar.
PLS for now will continue to demand a premium due to size, solid offtake partners, downstream potential and better marketing.
Offtake risk needs to be considered (would like some diversity here as would the market), product quality, along with management performance to date. PLS easily has the best partners. AJM partners JRO in a world of hurt and Lionergy have been selling down AJM shares recent years too, along with never ending missed targets and huge debt it’s not a pretty picture. I was considering buying a bit of PLS at these levels but if you believe the developing story here which has been mainly ignored by the market apart from a few players, then it’s hard to look past A40. Higher risk compared to PLS but higher reward if it comes to fruition imo.
One way or the other all questions should be answered in 2019 by all theee players. YMMV

I think as 2019 progresses we get fines on line hopefully we start to progress towards are final form in terms of costs.
Their has long been rumors spread by uneducated types that A40 is higher cost than it's peers, when infact due to simple processing low capex and quality credits, with higher strip it's actually on par and lower when DMS 2.0 shows up.
Can't wait till serious exploration starts the AJM low cost claimers better book extra therapy sessions, cause A40 finding a nice low strip 20Mt deposit on our tenements is very possible.
