Ann: Quarterly Cashflow Report - June 2023, page-145

Yea I was gonna say if they gave loan to Puna for $6.4M, you would expect Puna to use that capital to ramp the capacity of carbonate production.They would not use all of that up in a quarter. You also can't rush the battery testing qualification of the sample products supplied to customers. There is a lag there as they want to make sure that it reach to their rigious specifications.

Once they announce offtake partner, it would be easier to raise more capital as the share price would appreciate and not dilute existing shareholders. So I don't get why people are scared lol, there is literally not a lot of companies at the same stage as Argosy.

My only issue and this to me is the only valid criticism is the cost of production at scale. There will be a cost that becomes uneconomic to operate if the spot price is indexed to the chinese market. The chinese spot price has a lot of manipulation. I really hope the material is sold to North America where you avoid those funky games. Even Japan and Korea is quite good to sell lithium because their LCE pricing is on the high end.

I am betting Eric Norris from Albermarle is correct and we have high prices for longer, since every other deposit besides Atacama (brines) and greenbushes (hard rock) sit on the right hand side of the cost curve. That cost is around $25K a tonne (ball park) so the price of LCE has to be higher than that for longer. Otherwise Argosy would start and stop production which is the sensible thing to do but operationally is a nightmare.

I bought more as for $300M market cap you are getting not a lot of risk but high long terms rewards.
