DVP is over-valued. Their shareprice will fall. nothing in DVP adds up to anywhere near current market. ESS absorbed cheaply is what DVP needs to give some basis to their current valuation. ESS won't be enough according to independent report.
You need to look at POS for gurus that have killed exploration companies with mining infrastructure, had a nickel mine ready to go... backed by Markus Padley and Peter hamilton. Share price destruction has been amazing. Forrest killed Anaconda nickel, the same spiel, killed shareholders while moving his wealth to iron ore. Their is nothing special about DVP management, missed contracts, has a brown fields base metals project, those commodity prices are going down faster than lithium.
MIN takeover of NWE at $74 a MIN share, share swap similar to DVP ESS... amazingly similar, same MIN strategy is happening here...swap when your share price is overvalued.
