i think a lot of this pump is to clear the CR stock from 1.5c, 300 mill or so, reward for those who took it.
at the moment this is a bit like a nearology in mining, you just don't know if the deal that one group got is going to be anything like a deal that 9SP may get, or if they indeed will get a deal. Times have changed a lot since they started aiming for an alignment deal last year.
just saying, keep it real. Break even is the first step for the city company then a few quarters of proving they can actually make a profit.
that then becomes the sweet spot. a long way to grind through before lofty heights can be dreamt about.
