Felix proposed a minerals-for-security deal with the U.S., and Trump is on the cusp of delivering peace agreements. But where are the minerals Felix promised? As far as I’m concerned, Manono -the world’s largest hard rock lithium deposit is the only project ready to launch immediately. It’s the crown jewel and a major win waiting to be claimed by the Trump administration.
Kobald is clearly keen to lock in Manono—you can feel the urgency and desperation in their announcement. But there’s one sticking point: the price on the table doesn’t move Nigel. It’s just enough to open the door to negotiations, nothing more. If Kobald and the U.S. are serious about securing control over lithium supply for decades to come, it’s time to get serious about value. $3.50 AUD per share is the price to pay.
