RE:Comparing market caps Rock Tech an Critical ElementsI don't think you can compare them directly like that. RCK has completely different strategy and most important not in QC :)
They are promoting themselves mainly as converter not miner. They are saying they will source spodumene from their Georgia Lake mine and Other sources...They are boasting that they will have 5 (five) hydroxide coverters including the first one in Europe! Just that gave then significant exposure to new investors plus they have only 80M shares so new investors are creating the stock run. I only can applause their management for the way they promote the company.
I'm not going to comment how feasible is their paln ot who is the better company as it's irrelevant, all that matters is making money and their shareholders were rewarded pretty good, the new ones will probably be diluted significantly once the crunch for money comes..
Let's see how our pony will behave once the permits are provided, the federal permits didn't do much for the stock price to my surprise
