It has been known for some time that Talga were looking at other funding options.

From the Tripartite LOI Update on November 30, 2021: "Talga continues to pursue existing and new financing and partnership opportunities arising from the strong global demand outlook for green battery anode."

As you can see this is nothing new and not a "band-aid" to cover for Mitsui. You maliciously stated that the Mitsui MOU had already fallen through. It may fall through as a better option could now be available, but it hasn't yet. You can speculate all you like, but do not state things as fact.

I understand this is now your new little down ramping angle, after previously trying to spread fear about Mitsui and dilution. Which is amusing now as your own words have once again worked against you. Surely a deal with a state owned export credit agency would be the better funding option anyway? Or are you suddenly in favour of dilution after being so worried about it before (despite not holding a share)?
