I have no background in any of the business areas associated with advertising, marketing, procurement and acquisitions, etc, but if I was on the board I would really be highlighting to the government the recent and increasing number of fires from lithium-ion batteries. Even if VRFB's aren't intended for consumer goods, any hype that favours vanadium and discourages lithium is useful just as a marketing tactic itself. Just have to send a barrage of news in the media that constantly reinforces vanadium. I've observed over the past two years especially that most of the biggest gainers in the mining sector weren't even close to production, let alone even completed exploration. The influx of financially illiterate and young investors looking for a quick win has created a market very similar to the entertainment industry - everything is selling on hype. The amount of younger investors I've spoken to, who despite being shown overwhelming evidence of the limitations of a company, still invested simply to say they bought in is astonishing. Any industry in the current climate survives on branding and everyone wants to be famous by association. Vince just needs to turn AVL/VSUN into a brand and make it cool to invest in vanadium much like it has typically been the case with gold and we should see a steady increase in the SP.

Junior Australian energy and resource companies have followed fairly consistent and comparable fluctuations in SP. I've noted the common patterns since the March 2020 crash are the 4c-12c mark with retraces and fluctuations around 8c. Then major news seems a similar pattern in the 20c mark retracing between 12-16c. Next step is usually slow but consistent growth to 40c, slows down for a while until repeats a similar slow but continued growth to 80c then typically any major positive news sees temporary SP of 1.20ish and then fluctuates over the next 24 months or so around that mark. From what I've also observed, companies in this sector start to gain attention above the 12c mark and then consideration for serious investment around the 20c mark as confidence is instilled. I think as long as we can hype up vanadium, VRFB's and battery minerals in general until we get to this SP range then we should fair well in the long run. Those that fail to break past the 2-4c mark typically stay there for many years and only increase on the odd gamble. Even if the mine isn't plausible, for the sake of the shareholders Vince needs to adopt a 'fake it until we make it' mentality and with the increasing push by both consumers and governments into renewables, etc, I think we are in a well-suited position to market AVL and VSUN.

Do many other people share this sentiment? Feel free to critique, I'd like to see who agrees/disagrees.
