Here is the realistic problem we face now- 3 years ago we were the only player wanting to refine. Now you have 2 other companies with deposits wanting to build :
Green tech is literally beside AVL land with more money, more backing and stole our partner.
Frontier has a massive deposit (but no way to get it out) but wants to build one hour away and conveniently Nipigon/Red Rock Indian Band are planning to revitalize the port in Nipigon.
So here we are, a company who has touted pedalite for glass ceramics (with no partners/buyers in that sector) now flipping to battery grade lithium with no cash, our one "partner" in LGES just invested in our competitor, new management, delayed starts and non defined resources.
Why would gov't support us? I am heavily invested here and am very very disappointed that management baited us in with false timelines, contracts, partners...etc. Of all the hype Don had promised not one thing has happened to date. Rewatch some of the conferences ..etc from Nov/Dec 2022. There were some very definitive timelines and "guarantees" made by Don. They can push him out, but Avalon and the board are responsible for this, not just Don. They have a very small window to keep my investment - if not, I walk with a loss and encourage you all to do the same.
