RE:USING Worley MAKES PROGRESS FASTER & SIMPLERThis deal should not be a surprise. Keeping the site on option and engaging Worley ensures that the JFSL site is not an easily resaleable asset, which helps prevent predatory behaviour from creditors. In addition, there is long-term potential for Worley to take a position via private placement. I believe that RG wants FT to be an independent mining company, not a mere subsidary of Rio Tinto. By working heavily with Worley, and the governments, there is the potential for financing that ensures multiple large stakeholders, which should deliver long-term value to shareholders. In other words, if Worley, Rio Tinto, and Lind Partners each hold 20-30% of the shares, it's harder for any one of them to knock the price down and buy the company out cheap. I believe RG has also mentioned trying use similar positions with EV companies in one of his videos.
