RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Reading between the lines"The decision to reduce the originally planned pilot plant to a mini pliot plant strikes me as a bit odd. Why not stay the course if you expect a near term partnership especially when reporting a 12 - 15 months project construction timeline, anyways? 12 -15 months is not exactly immediate."
SO
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? You are still harping on this? So you must have done the bare minimum of due diligence and asked Larry this question and what was the response you got? Please share it with the board. Oh yeah that right you have done jack all for due diligence, never providing sources to your claims. Because I did and I got my answer which I have shared numerous times with the board. Your AGENDA is clear as day.
The $2 million pilot plant IS the proof of concept and proof of scalability. No need to spend more and dilute shareholder value further. This is what the Umicores and Samsungs of the world want to see before investing. AMY won't be building a commercial plant. It's like a mining company stating they are prepared to take their discovery to production when the reality is they will sell it to the largest bidder, ie, a large producer. It's posturing. This is a tech play and it'll be with a partnership(s) and the commercial plant(s) will be under that partner's umbrella. It's either a licensing partnership or complete buy out. And there is $1 billion reason why it's happening. Umicore/Samsung will be the leaders in this space, unless someone else steps up to the plate soon. The dollars have spoken and we are all invested with AMY in hopes that they pick our technology.
Neometals is a gnat in this space and about to get squashed. Do they have over $1billion in cash at their disposal? Neometals doesn't have the capital, the experience, the contracts, or the PATENTS. Where is Neometals going to get all their spent batteries to recycle when Umicore has an exclusive contract with Tesla to recycle their batteries? Hmm I've never seen you mention that. What contracts have Neometals signed? Please enlighten the board with facts.
Your whole argument is stating how easy it is to "tweak" one thing and boom bypass AMY's patent-pending technology. I am invested in AMY because I believe their patents are the best in this space. I'm invested in the hard work Norman Chow, Shailesh Upreti, and Larry Reaugh have done to establish AMY as the leadiers in this new market. If other's have better tech, show me, show all of us, it is fact checking time.
