Ann: US$5M Strategic Investment by ATL, page-317

You waltzed on in here with this nonsense:

“Every few years in AGY there is a new company that comes by to "test the product" all of them leading to nothing.”

What rubbish!!

Stop deflecting and own your claims.

We did have some potential end-user customers test our product from the pilot plant, sure. We first produced BG product from that plant in Aug 2018 iirc.
Great! They tested small samples and one bought 20 tonnes for further testiung! Another bought 5 tonnes! Great!
Those companies may still be in play for product from out commercial operations; in any case, they needed to wait for us to get the 2ktpa plant going in order to access significant quantities of product.
…and the product from the current plant requires qualification also.

You like to paint some picture as though companies are coming and going “every few years” and are unhappy with the product, as if we’re doing nothing but trying to sell product and failing.
What nonsense.
We have just moved into continuous production and are commencing the ramp-up phase.
A well-regarded pioneer in the battery production world is interested in our current product and currently going through the steps of qualification.
This is great news. Full stop.

The naysayers are being proven wrong, one step at a time, and yes - those steps take time - that is the harsh reality of this industry.
I’m not sure who you think you’re fooling…?

Try harder.
