We will be producing more spod (450tonnes+ @6% as PLS (340tonnes)"
That is just misleading and wrong. We as in LLL will only be producing 180k tonnes of Sc6 as we will only own 40% of the output of 450,000t. All comparisons should take this lower tonnage owned by LLL into consideration yet it mostly gets ignored by everyone.
In my own models for valuation I take into account of this, meaning I have a lower valuation for LLL than most, but it is still much higher than what we presently have as a Mcap.
Given Pilbara priced for 1m tonnes (expanded future mine size) of Sc6 at present, then allowing for us to produce say 260k t (in future expanded mine size) leaves us at 1/4 the Mcap of PLS before we take into consideration not having any current output and the African discount.
PLS current Mcap $6.2B for 1m t means for LLL 260k about 25% of that valuation or $1.5B, then take no current production another 25-30% off (maybe more), all of which gets made up when in production, down to ~$1B, then allow for African discount (it's real whether we like it or not) say 30-40%, takes the current valuation of LLL down to $650-700m.
Hence FFX is still way undervalued at $600m for both Gold and Lithium, but at present without any production for LLL and only minor production of gold, we are not overly discounted, but lots of work will raise the Mcap as we start to earn good income, plus get closer to income from lithium.
All IMHO of course.
BTW apologies for picking on your analysis as your not the only one that keeps comparing apples with oranges in Goulamina future 450k to current 320k for PLS. Currently we have zero and the plan is not for LLL to have 450k but only 40% of 450k.
I prefer apples to apples comparisons, so future LLL to future PLS, and we'll only own 40% of output.
