"imo It doesn't matter when an offtake agreement is signed because there are clauses in contracts that move with Pricing up or down." Well, actually it does if there is additional investment along with the offtake agreement.. i.e. to help progress the project development from a CAPEX point of view.
IMO, I believe this is the reason GXY didn't progress with an agreement with GF as they didn't acknowledge the underlying value of the asset and JL got his knickers in a twist and started hating on GXY.. That decision is now looking very prudent indeed and I for one am pretty happy with the position we're now in..
