Can i get a hell yeah!!!
No offence to Mitsui as I love Japan and spent time living there - but it has been obvious for months now Talga no longer needed them to bankroll the project.
The key takeaway is Talga believes either through existing funding sources (e.g. EIB/NIB/Swedish Expotr Credit Agency etc) and potentially other yet to be revealed strategic partners, they can raise the required capital to fund the project - which means less dilution to us shareholders!!
That's reason to celebrate this wknd even though I thought it may have been instead due to the CRM & NZI Acts being announced, which are still a bit to opaque to fully glean the extent to which Talga will benefit at this stage.
