Ann: Pilbara Minerals Board Update, page-4

For those who are late to the PLS party the Chairman's farewell words to Neil Biddle are spot on. Neil and John Young have pulled off on of the best finds of the 21st century and they did it a time when virtuall no one except Tony Seba was talking about the comng lithium ion batteries revolution.

Not only did they find and time this acquisition to perfection they paid an absolute pittance for it. The ensuing development path was at times difficult and exciting and yes some controversial decisions were made but at the time it was nigh on impossible to raise money for any junior explorer. Neil leaves behind a company that when in production in 8 months time will be worth in excess of $1b and within about 3 years is scheduled to hit 5m tonnes pa and a market value well above $1b, quite possibly > $2B.

Salute NB you have made many of us much more wealthy and what an exciting ride it has been. There are few people more enjoyable to break bread with and partake of some red wine at lunch. Wishing you and John every success at Spitfire.
Cheers W2
