In case no one knew, CXO share price has fallen dramatically

In summary it is still generating cash,

50% recovery rates. Higher cash costs.

Production guidance reduced.

I think it will be hard to bridge the gap on Lithium supply if mines like this underperform. Simple solution to that is buy something that has a bigger deposit than Core.

Only thing to look forward to is exploration upside at BP33 but that is an underground operation.

Tempting to buy here but this is still at a market cap of 1.1 billion.

CXO may have a solid total amount of lithium, but it is in thinner bands with high strip ratios meaning high cost to extract.

As more supply comes onstream, high-cost producers like CXO will suffer.

I haven't been following CXO that closely since I took this out of strawman but a few are mentioning they should be using a flotation plant rather than DMS. Seems the DMS route is also a contributor to the low recovery rates.

Got a bit suspicious when the former director sold out.

Anyway interesting they are raising capital.
