RE:RE:Nice little read! I like your thinking there L&L. We've got the EU, Canada, and I think the U.S. all have Boron on their lists. That should be demand enough to strike a lucrative deal to them, partner with any of them, sell to someone else to sell to them. Any way you slice it really. If these guys are craving it, the whole world wants the stuff. China loves hoarding critical materials. Also, how many times have you heard Tim talk about an Oligoploly?? People with Oligopolies tend to like to keep it that way. Rio Tinto, ETI Matin, and the other medium sized outfits would have no problem taking it.
My theory regarding Osmose, and just my opinion, I'd guess Osmose bought into a PP a while back. I'd guess Tim spoke with them, and they put a plan together to try to get the other interested parties sitting on the sideline to step up. Let's do a partnership deal and keep it nice and loose for someone else to come along and push our deal out of the way. Surely someone will step in as we start going through the steps and a soaring stock price is imminent. Well the Serbian Mining Ministry took forever and nothing much happened, as seems to always be the case with Erin/Boron One. So now they have to keep pushing this thing down the road, "oh boy, interested parties better act now! We are going to sign a deal any minute now!" "Oh ya, price went up for Osmose, and we restructured a deal!" Nothing. Town Hall, "oh boy, deal coming any day now with Osmose!" Second Town Hall, "I talk to them every day, cheque is in the mail!" "All you onlookers better act now!" Well to me, it sure doesn't look like it.
Eventually the deal with be so stupid good someone will step up. In a few months and a mining licence in hand, I'd start making some phone calls to buy half the business.
Anyway, not easy to strike a deal, but I feel Tim should have been grooming relationships with Tyne EU and the like for the last decade. This should be a slam dunk at this stage of the game. Time to forget about the other job and focus on this venture.
