If the Todd/TIO versus FMS shareholders tussle of late has caused nerve pain, heart ache & pain, angst, grief, loss of sleep, nausea or any other similar symptom there is a treatment for it and its simple.

Todd get over the arrogance and stupid stubborness of wanting to do it off-market and just merge BBIG and FMS and preserve the minority shareholders, fund the development of FMS instead of the Balla Balla mine and use that area as a pellet processing centre, bulk handling & storage, loading area for conveyor to the trans-shipment platform and possibly a Vanadium processing plant. This will save you about $1Bn of capital and allow you to be honest and frank with the WA Government, go into a better negotiating position with your off-take partner (whether it is Shandong or not we don't actually care) for both your supply of processed ore and their supply of capital for the development works and actually engage with small miners in the region so they might be able to participate as well and you can deliver on your promise of supporting local communities, local jobs, the state's overall economic health & well being and your own return on capital as well as others.

Pride not mandate prevents you from doing this on-market as a listed company. Change that view and get on with it and everyone is on the winning side.
