Lithium Mill Concentrator Timeline
Well expressed Margin and actually almost exciting, if that is indeed the plan the Company goes with & hopefully more aggressively than what has happened on the operational front to date.
On the exploration side, it's been a superb roll-out, so its clearly evident a real seasoned exploration operator is minding the shop, with big discovery after big discovery, hole after hole with Continuity and Size, the kind of mining discovery that ticks all the boxes on a RICK RULE top ranking.
However, I am certain that Rick Rule would also concur that the time has come for Frontier to actually start doing something in a very meaningful way to move this monstrous Lithium discovery to some degree of operational status. The fact that the Company appears to have difficulty moving swiftly beyond the highly successful exploration stage, perhaps it's just a simple issue that the Company doesn't yet have the capacity of that seasoned individual in construction development/production operations.
If one is waiting for the Government to establish the power transmission and road corridor into the Frontier Lithium discovery minesite, investors might be waiting until 2040 to see Lithium production operations. As you know, Government people have cash for life, pension for life situation (especially in the Ontario Province), there is no urgency to move any faster than a tortoise pace.
Should Frontier have a reasonable offer on the table from a global Lithium processor/converter, for the initial 2 to 3 years of production operations, it is adviseable to focus on pushing through the road to site, initiate open cut mine development, pour the concrete foundations, erect the steel, build the plant, mobilize equipment and initiate the testing phase of Lithium Spodumene production.
This early stage initial operations plan allows ample time for the supposed Frontier Einsteins' to figure out the optimal approach on developing a fully integrated Lithium chemical plant.
There is ample time to work out those details.
Afterall, when a company starts producing oil, the said company normally doesn't try to tackle the construction of a refinery in the initial stage of production.
The key is to get producing Lithium Spodumene.
As for Power generation at the minesite in the "initial year or two", well, possibly Green Power and Generators will have to be part of the initial "Power" plan.
Surely the Governments can get up off their thumb and see to it that Frontier Lithium is granted a permit to at least move ahead with an initial phase of Lithium concentrate production, in light of the fact, there just isn't going to be any Lithium in the next year or two when EV battery demand accounts for about 80% to 85% of total global Lithium market availability. The EV purchase waiting list has already expanded to about 2 years for many manufacturer lithium powered models. Clearly Lithium supply is dictating demand.
As well, as new data suggests, Greenhouse gases have never been at these highest levels (and we are still in a 3 year pandemic where the world almost came to an activity halt & corresponding reduction of travel & emissions discharge) and the rivers are drying up in Europe and China.
And Europe's energy is dwindling. Just look at the angry demonstrations in Europe over energy.
Thus, it seems like the most prudent move for the Canadian & Ontario Government to swiftly move to grant Frontier Lithium a permit for Lithium Spodumene production and get this premier Lithium development underway in a meaningful way to make an impact in the world.

Long term shareholders have seen all that reflected in the SP, no reason for that not to project forward either.

Complaining about strategies, timelines and execution in which you have no experience or knowledge in , is absolutely senseless. And there is NO way management is changing ANYTHING they are or will do in the future as a result of people complaining in posts. Does anyone really believe , with their 25% ownership , that they are doing ANYTHING but thinking about increasing shareholder value.
