Financing the mining lifecycle: Vanadium Resources (ASX:VR8) powers beyond feasibility studies, page-21

Yes, absolutely mate, and there are countless stories in the mining media about small-cap companies that have been undermined by Chinese players. Look at Lynas in the rare-earth space and the interference they have had to endure over the years because they are the only ex-China producer of these critical minerals. Most in the mining game are trying build supply chains for critical minerals away from China, yet VR8 (and a handful of others) are doing the exact opposite. It's going to be really interesting to see if VR8 can get debt funding from western financiers etc. with all this going on.

All IMHO, DYOR
