At 3$ that would be someone paying AUD 10.5B... for a excellent resource, but one that's not even really started into development, let alone production. 10.5B for an unfinished 150 man camp, a roller and a digger. Sure, and a shed load of lithium, but also a shed load of headaches and problems - what we've seen is likely on the beginning of drama.Ok lets talk TO numbers . How about $2.50 - $3 ? So the punters who got in at the highs make minimum 100% profit . Those that got in earlier make 2000%+ .Then those in between .
I can hear it down the pub .
" Jeez Billy I'm pissed off with my bloody AVZ investment . Got bloody gipped ."
"Oh gee sorry to hear that Bob . Can't win em all I guess . How did it end up ? "
"Was a bloody take over had no choice but to sell . Got gipped big time ."
'' Oh shit that's no bloody good Bob . But did you at least come away with a profit ?"
" Yeh 2000% . Bloody mongrels ."
I don't think there's any real likelihood of getting near that figure. The only way I feel to realise these kind of numbers is go into production. After we are producing at nameplate, I could see a takeover above this level, but not whilst we haven't even got a contractor or finalised design, let alone a working mine and transport infrastructure.
I know I'll get shouted down by some here as I have before for airing similar thoughts, but I just don't see a takeover like that as realistic for unbroken ground facing all sorts of hurdles, regardless of its potential value.
