RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Mineworx reminds me Wild speculation here, but considering ETIs stated propensity to favour a licensing business model, rather than be an operator, it wouldn't be shocking to hear that a reverse would happen: Mineworx buying ETI out of the Surrey plant and operating it. ETI would get its pound of flesh and Mineworx would do something they're comfortable with, getting revenues from operating the plant. I did call it wild speculation and while it would be surprising, it wouldn't be shocking. Existing cash on hand is allocated to other things, but if revenues start to trickle in, they might be re-directed there.
That said, the whole ETI joint venture went from being such a natural fit to feeling like a giant headache, and considering the "stories" (because I don't know of any actual facts) it doesn't sound like it's the kind of relationship where cash-flow would suddenly make the relationship better...it egos are involved, cash will probably make it worse. Maybe both sides will prove to be mature adults. I hope so. And maybe it will just continue to be the 80/20 venture it is now and give everyone a bit of much needed cash and good PR.
