At shell level, and low corporate spend, there is a case of acquiring the shell priced stocks that have shown some signs of fertility in ground, that have a starting point to raise funds for drilling into the next lithium run.

Think about a green field acquisition of company XYZ, vs the runs on the board with BLZ.
For that matter, XYZ could takeover BLZ and inject some funds into a drill program when things heat up.

Its about the multiple that can be achieved at the pointy end, the MC you enter, Vs waiting for the sector tide, or alternatively the company embarks on an acquisition of its own, in another sector that is moving.

C29 was a shell copper play, that has moved into Uranium in Kazakhstan. something like that.
Market still sleeping though, as they are just getting started on the ground.
