Ann: Washington DC based key Senior Advisor engaged by Mandrake, page-5

Yes , certainly no need to raise here with a solid $18.3m in cash, what i believe will happen is the growth here will be fast, the grades will show extensive strong Lithium brine, and MAN share price will be many multiples of what it is today !
GLN will probably take a further holding soon, probably buy on market as their last 5 million buy at 5.6 cents, and we become a Lithium producer !

Looking at the experience of Douglas W Hollet , this is all gearing up to go into near term production as stated below in todays announcement !

Interestingly this comment as well, “The lithium brine scene in the US has grown exponentially in recent times with global oil giant
ExxonMobil recently announcing the purchase of an early-stage lithium brine project in
Arkansas for US$100M "

" Mandrake has engaged senior Washington DC-based advisor
Douglas W. Hollett to advise on government and commercial
investment opportunities for the 100%-owned Utah Lithium
Project

Mr Hollett has over 40 years’ experience in the energy and
critical minerals sector, most recently as Special Advisor, Critical
Materials and Supply Chain at the US Dept of Energy (DOE)

Mr Hollett reported to the DOE Under Secretary for Science and
Innovation in the Special Advisor role, responsible for both
internal and interagency coordination on the full suite of critical
mineral items

Mr Hollett also has deep connections with the North American
and international commercial, investment and institutional
critical minerals-facing communities and will facilitate outreach
and engagement for Mandrake to these groups "
