So look, I know know I'm going to get flamed for this but just out of interest, I went down and checked out some of the BYD EVs this week.

One in particular had my interest and so I asked the sales guy (Chinese) about "cargo space". He looked at me so strangely I thought is head was going to split in two.

He exclaimed, 'No! Car no go space! Car go on road!'

On the bright side I can now put swastikas on my Cybertruck and people will just think it's been vandalised

I remember last time we were told to be respectful as well...and what do you know, DRC fucked us over.. jeez that felt like almost a year ago now..they can go fuck right off

Honestly who gives a shit at this stage. Just take it to the courts and strand the asset for all i care. (yes i know everyone's situation is different and i understand that)

I only give this number any credit because elphamale has posted so much good analysis in the past. But if 6B is the number Kobold etc want to work towards then I'd still be expecting royalties alongside that.

- palatable purchase price for yanks (/rio)
- they still get the geopolitical strategic advantage they're after with lithium access
- AVZ holders get to share in the profit and upside exposure to lithium price recovery over coming years.

Not gonna type it out again, but subbing that into my earlier, very sophisticated, formula
...(x*y)=$12/share
Funny, same result

I know a lot of peeps just want payout but BoD has to go for best value overall, and that may well be one where upfront purchase price is offset against earnings in the future. Its more or less what our pathway with CATH is too, and most people were pretty excited at the option of 50% ownership of a processing plant.

If we were gonna get screwed over, IMO it would have happened already. NF et al doing great job of holding form for the best outcome for Shareholders.

condino on X had posted long time ago a table on the SP based on different size outputs. I can't seem to find it..

But we would be able to get a rough estimate on royalties based on that right? i'm going to guess something like 2% of the profit divied up by the SOI

Kobold wants

I want to buy the house next door for $20.
I don't want the garden, but want the owners to be fairly compensated.
