RE:RE:1 contract - 500 torches not 50The big Iron ore corp will not be jerking around ordering small batches of torches. They need these torches as soon as possible and they certainly do not want to risk having to lose their turn at ordering. PYR is running the show, they have the patent and customers are waiting in line.

The line is only going to get longer. The longer it takes to outfit the plants the more money they lose. It has been stated there is no downtime to replace the fuel burning torches with pyr plasma torches

That's like asking a flooring company to quote for the kitchen, then living room, then bedrooms, etc. Waste of time and resources. One deal, 500 torches minimum. Peter probably gets a down-payment of 10% or $150M, then $137.5M per plant or $275M every 2 plants completed. De-risks both PYR and client. Fair, and milestone based. That's my opinion. Maybe we will see this week. Hope I am right. I'm always the optimist rather than pessimist.
