@bangbang688 ... "Do you think I should choose to trust you or Venmyn Deloitte?"
I think you and everyone else should check all the known data, not any type of group or individual. Use all the available data and known current information, not just select bits from the company as that's the quickest way to the poorhouse..
The inground stuff will be exactly the same as it was 11 years ago, but the above ground stuff of revenues from minerals and cost of building processing plants and operating them have changed a lot.
Going back a few years I questioned a few 'experts' from different groups giving advise about lithium, EVs and future demand for lithium. Most of the 'experts', were the ones named on different high level documentation quoted by the media...
They didn't have a clue what was really happening in the world of lithium, just had read a few 'other' publications so predicted around the same as everyone else. I even had several as members of my email group on PLS, always wanting to learn more.
I was told by one of the 'experts' how he was out of Uni for only 6 months (financial course) and had been given the task of writing about, lithium, copper and a couple of other commodities, and he really only knew what he had read. (He worked for a major investment bank!!)
There are various experts from different fields that post on HC, I've met quite a few people at various meetings like RIU conferences etc, or just AGMs of different companies. (I met salpetie and had a good conversation at one of these. He is an expert geologist with decades of experience. I've met an talked to J Hronsky on several occassions, another true gentleman that really knows his stuff, was head of the school of mining at Kalgoorlie at one stage.)
I've met and talked with mining engineers, geophysics experts, drill rig operators and off-siders, logistics people both truck and shipping and every other field. I also have some tertiary geology qualifications, and have had my own tenements in outback WA.. (they didn't come to anything).
I'd take advice off some of the people I've met, due to HC, every day of the week compared to an analyst at any major 'house', but that's just me and the people I know.
Realistically, if you can't use all the information available to make a decision about an investment and take your own advice, based upon an understanding of geology, costs and prospects, then you really shouldn't be investing in this end of the market.
My 'advice' too everyone is to look up all the known information about this project, especially whatever you can find that doesn't come from the company trying to promote it. Then look carefully to see if what the company states in words actually matches known information.
Take the information over words of 'hope' every day of the week.
The simple, best example is the words of the project area being open below, while the cross section clearly show some deeper holes down to below 155m finding nothing much at all, while the cross section shows the areas of greater than 1% Nb to be between surface and ~50m deep, thinning to the West, with the East closed due to the old tailings dam...
