RE:RE:RE:RE:SAD WHAT THIS HAS BECOMEMKB nailed it again, would only add, look to Iluka's feasibility study due H1 '22 as a validation REO from monazite, it's cost base will very likely make dinosaurs of most hard rock deposits, particularly both new & old struggling for funding, which is near 100% regardless the pumping.
Iluka currently building the intermediate plant A$30/40M to take the 20% monazite, +40kt exported to the Dragon last FY, to 90% monazite, equivalent the 60% TREO MP is selling the Chinese BUT Iluka's material will be 22% NdPr vs MP 16%, a FAR more valuable product, at likely FAR lower CoP.
Highly likely to validate MDL's business plan, on top of a successful ACDC IPO, not difficult to find at least a couple of powerful drivers for the SP.
As to the nasty gossip here, won't dignify it with a response but it is clearly wrong, and there is a stock overhang here that may take some positive news to clear, unfortunate but these things happen, get over it or get out, dead simple.
