Ann: AVL Awarded $49 Million Federal Government Grant, page-549

No doubt the market is going to grow. but I'm not sure how that relates to AVL's success or failure. Bottom line are they capable of getting it out of the ground, or aren't they? How long is a fair timeline?

For example, having just got back from overseas, and spending time with numerous people that could themselves make a decision to fund the mine, they couldn't stop talking about the way in which this company raises capital (price, with whom, and most talked about timing).

On the other side of the coin look at VSUN. I've got a place on Hamilton Island, and have spoken to various people at HIE about batteries due to the massive increase in power. Not one of them had a clue about vanadium, and quite frankly it's not my gig to explain it. On the other hand they were VERY familiar with lithium batteries, and there's a real chance that's a direction they may go. So tell me how on earth you're in the battery space and don't have the decision makers in the Whitsundays on speed dial?

I'm still holding, but I think my shares will stay in the bottom draw until the next capital raise. If that happens IMHO they'll most likely be worthless. That would be such a shame, as I honestly thought this was going to be a $1 billion dollar company back in the day.
