The problem with detaching QPME from QPM is that without the carbon credits and cheap power that QPME is designed to provide, TECH is not viable !
So, that means can't be sold off nor can it issue dividends ... the latter would mean freezing TECH, and paying dividends to who ... small retail holders with SMSF ?? The pursuit of dividends (outside of big companies) while still expecting capital growth has caused more harm to small companies and small investors than anything you'd care to mention other than criminally incompetent management.
If TECH had got established before the nickel price had peaked, then maybe it would be able to weather the nickel storm, but it wasn't and wont (?).
