Primary Symbol: PILBF

Pilbara Minerals Limited is an Australia-based lithium company. The Company is primarily engaged in the exploration, development, and mining of minerals in Australia. Its 100% owned Pilgangoora hard-rock lithium operation is located approximately 120 kilometers (kms) from Port Hedland in Western Australia’s resource-rich Pilbara region. The operation consists of two processing plants: the Pilgan Plant, located on the northern side of the Pilgangoora area and produces spodumene and tantalite concentrates, and the Ngungaju Plant is located to the south produces spodumene concentrate. It owns 70% of the Mt Francisco project, which is located 50 km south-west of the Pilgangoora Project and hosts the large occurrence of outcropping pegmatites located nearby to Port Hedland. It is also pursuing a proposed downstream joint venture (JV) for the development of an approximately 43,000 tons per annum lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) lithium chemical conversion facility in South Korea.

RE:RE:RE:on the question of value

RE:RE:RE:on the question of valuethink you are spot on: they are marginal (fringe) geographically - so not sure of their relevance to the Silican Valley market.

True change of ownership - but I think this was a case of VMC buying some proven permitted reserves from a family - who were not mining the property.  

I suppose it speaks to consolidation, and let me telly uo the benefit of that:

1.  VMC need to generate returns on their 80M investments so they have the incentive to price higher - than say a family or a maverick.

2. with a market controlled by fewer players - price signally, and price leadership is better understood and the market becomes quite profitable - so its good that this goes into the hands of a rational, large, price-leader who is a long term participant in this market - and is a good custodion of a shrinking, scare mineral resource.

I would not want it any other way.
