RE:RE:RE:egz Frewil11...I doubt that 10 or 20 old shares for 1.0 new share will help Energizer even though - I feel – we can supply the necessary product. After such a reverse split, we will still require further shares plus a high interest production loan.
I believe we need is a JV with our Large Institutional Shareholders - as they must have had a reason for their initial investmenst. In addition DRA can handle the JV's interest.
Lets say that before the initiation of such a JV, the Large Institutional Holders own 50% of Energizer's outstanding shares. The Institutional Holders would then give up their shares to to be held in Energizer's Treasury for our future development of its part of the JV – if/when Energizer so desires.
Energizer would have 50% less shares – in float - and a smaller interest in the property, but there would be an operating mine. A condition for the JV would be that the JV immediately start Plant Development to production
The Institutional Investors will finance half of the costs. In addition the Institutional Shareholders would attempt to provide Energizer with a low interest loan to for its part of the initial plant development.
Later when the JV is in production Energizer can either obtain project financing for its part of future JV expansions or by selling the surrendered shares.
With our Proven and Probable Reserves, plus our large resources we should do well as the need for graphite and battery grade vanadium increase.
