    I made this table to compare, and understand, the new and the old cooperation agreements:

    NEWOLD
    Equity Investment AgreementStrategic Placement Agreement
    Direct equity into MLBV (the JV)Placement into LLL
    Committed Stage 2 increase to 500ktpa Study Stage 2 expansion to 500ktpa
    Study co-invest into downstream facility closer to AfricaSame
    Stage 2 offtake to include downstream tolling optionSame
    Jointly funded explorationSame
    USD 137.2m to JVAUD 106.1m to LLL ~USD70
    additional 5% interest of MLBV (total 55%)9.9% of LLL (share dilution)
    Stage 3 offtake = equity ie. 55%Stage 3 offtake 50:50%
    Stage 1 offtake control 100% GangfSame
    Stage 2 offtake control 70% GangfSame, Gangf 350ktpa, LLL150ktpa
    All stages, Gangf offtake profit flows to JV, then split .: Gangf profit +5% from JV
    No exposure to LLL controlled offtakes
    Gangf would have received JV share of profit, and 9.9% of LLL profit /share .: 3.5-4% JV profits?
    CAPEX responsibilities 55% gangf, 45%LLL ( clarified on conf. call)
    Increased Gangfeng representation in government level meetings in Mali (stated in conf. call)
    Easier regulatory approval in China (and FIRB* Assumed)


    Expected JV ownership, 50% Gangf, 40% LLL, 10% Mali
    Worst case JV ownership; 45% Gangf, 35% LLL, 20% Mali

    From the details that have been given the agreements appear fairly even; Gangfeng will pay into the JV twice as much cash as they would of paid to Leo for ongoing JV expenses, they receive a 5% increase in stake, a slightly better profit percentage from offtake Lithium controlled by Gangfeng, and they take on an additional 5% of JV CAPEX responsibilities (as clarified in the teleconference). They also don't profit from the Leo controlled offtakes
