Vince is capable of coming through with a few surprises, so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he comes though with unexpected progress out of the blue..
As you pointed out emphatically last raise though, they get in bed with some real creeps to raise capital, so for that alone you desperately want some more progress and SP solidifying and showing strength again, or it opens up the opportunity for 180 to line their own pockets again along with their soph investors while shafting existing holders with major dilution.
The only other worry is if Vince is up to handling everything he is managing, from getting the mine into production, to developing a battery market, and building the electrolyte plant, coates. The big picture all coming to fruition is a grand stroke, but I can see timelines for all projects getting pushed out while there isn't clear focus on getting any one project off the ground..
It's just observation anyway, I don't sit in the AVL office (Vince did mention in his talk recently though that they need more hands on deck with what they have bitten off), and also how I started this post was intentional, I do think Vince has come through with a few surprises, and more rabbits coming out of the hat in future I would honestly not be surprised at all.
