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 (tpa) lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) lithium chemical conversion facility in South Korea.

RE:Business Update

RE:Business UpdateSo next year we can expect 3 million tons from San Fransisco at about $15/ton (assumes they can get 5% price increases, hopefully more).   That gives us a Price to Sales ratio of  1.9 times.    The drop in expected sales pretty much explains why Polaris went for $2.50 to $1.40.    

We were banking on 4 million tons from San Francisco, which was metioned several times by management as a realistic total for that market, plus the start up of Long Beach which was to bring in 500K tons to start and up from there.

Margin improvement is great, the Canadian dollar is great, the efficiency of the production is great. We need the last piece of the puzzle to fit and that is sales.

Let's just say 2015 really didn't boost the market's confidence that they can deliver increasing revenue while maintaining healthy margins. 

Let's hope they can deliver in 2016.
