Good to see the table being set. Expert advice is neededSure... we all want an easy deal. We all want an incredible amount of mineral and nobody doing anything other than getting that mineral to the surface and processed and sold for the highest price to the best buyer with the longest need and best reputation.
I hope for that too. In my most simplistic dreams.
BUT, we need to have all the business side experts who don't have rock dust on their pants and boots also. The dealmakers and those who can ensure the business side is tight and balanced. Will they work for nothing. No. Would you? A board needs credibility, maturity and a track record. You pay for those things.
Any partner we want to talk to or who wants to talk to us will expect maturity and sophistication around the boardroom table because this mineral will be instrumental in their business (EV) being ultimately stable and successful and predictable. They don't want to have a lemonaid stand supplier. They want a real buttoned down organization.
So I am good with it. Put the brains in place out on the site and in the offices. Pay them and give them skin in the game. Boards get paid to produce.
The language Eric used about when and not IF on the permit is encouraging too.
I wanted a permit PR today. But I will take this.
If we could get a permit fast-follow announcement that would be even better.
Happy Monday all!
