Yes - that’s right - a jV with a Chinese company is very different than being half owned by a Chinese company .

I think with SRZ and MLX ,
1 plus .1 equals more than one point one .

two key realities
1 - resource needs drilling to move more to reserves and ideally grow - SRZ doesn’t have capital
2 for Mlx - they acquire a good resource than can be drilled out easily and can be mined with no capex . Last estimate was 57m now probably 75m . So the economics of the project as much more favourable without the need to build a mine

the proximity makes it a no brainier IMHO

whether it’s MLX or someone else - -SRz needs capital to move forward , not via a desk stop study recasting NPVs but in a real sense , to get it mine ready so the tin can be dug out and sold as market enters supply shortage
