Pilbara Minerals Ord Shs T.PLS


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.

Q2

Q2On more constructive topic, q2 should look different than most previous quarters. 25:% of volume went to PoLB or Hawaii and they report north bay picking up. Cemex was very likely only 60% of volume in the quarter.   This effect will be more pronounced in next two quarters if they're  doing 1m, per.   Their cash gross margin last quarter (seasonally light 561,000 tones) was $1.9 million. For me a great q2, considering light volume would be cash gross margin of $2.5M. Seems possible given volumes sold direct to readymix customers. That would be at least a taste of the potential. Even at $2.5 usd your youd be a $10m run rate for cash margin in a weak volume quarter. They still have g&a load to carry to get to ebitda but as I've said before, Vulcan or whoever ends up buying this is not going to incur much of that g&a. Anyway, were they able to pull that off I think we have a tangible data point that begins to support ( I know it's early) the ebitda model in the ir presentation. The more mature axis of that model supports a multi hundred million dollar valuation - USD. Today we sell for 65m. That's why I make the case that if a board member is too dense or too poor to buy stock here, they need to rotate off  - not qualified.
