I figured this argument must have been raised previously and galvanise did back in January 2018. Between AVL and TMT there is possibly 30 to 35 years supply of Vanadium and it is basically the same tenement. Why would you look for financing for 2 seperate processing plants when they are so geographically close to each other (believe AVL separates two TMT tenements).

In which case the obvious solution is for them to combine or at the very least involve a third party who builds the processing plant and both companies lease/pay for the processing to occur. I note this thread was last raised in September 2018 when the share price was significantly better so I can only guess everyone was buoyant enough to discount it.....things have now changed and IMO unless VA brings in a finance partner or there is a takeover offer in the next 4 to 5 months then share holders should be encouraging this discussion.
