Buyout or buyback
?
I think once sentiment turns around, a buyback is quite possible. GXY M&A also possible since GXY is cashed up. Will be interesting to see if/when they make a move and for whom.
You raise a very interesting point - I wonder whether we could see an Australian Lithium Alliance - PLS, AJM, GXY, A40,ORE,MIN?
Friendly merger, of any number of these parties to play to each's strengths and control the bulk of freely accessible global spod supply.
Long life resource, Dominant global spod supplier under one management umbrella.
Also have resources/interests in Hydroxide converters, Carbonate and Hydroxide resources including SdV...
Sure, pipe-dream...but remember that this is akin to the story of BHP...
