Ioneer have cleared another hurdle and also released a significant upgrade in measurable reserves

This by no means that they are going to get over the line but the probability seems to be increasing significantly. I think this is a company to keep eyes on, if they do get a positive ROD then this is one of the lowest cost Li producers in the World situated right next door to Tesla's Gigafactory. (NB 2019 numbers, I don't know about current cost comparisons). Nevada has extremely accommodating mining laws.

Not held. On watch list. Would initiate small position in the event of a positive ROD and FID, though there will likely be a lot of dilution and share price volatility between those events and first revenue.

Just landed a $1bn US government loan.

I think the buckwheat might come second to the inflation reduction act!

I anticipate quite a pop come opening of trade on Monday.

thought I’d check in and see how Ioneer are doing with their struggles to get the rhyolite ridge project through all the necessary bureaucratic and environmental hurdles. Looks like they’re still at it and still have some years to go even squinting through rose tinted glasses.

I’ll check back in another 12 months or so.

if they can jump through the hoops the resource appears very attractive to my uneducated assessment,

INR is the most advanced and lowest cost Lithium project in the US, situated next to the Tesla Gigafactory and with a sideline in Boron with confirmed offtake agreement  

However, a rare form of buckwheat may scupper their plans. watch for court ruling this coming week to see which way it swings.

ioneer and Caterpillar complete autonomous haul truck feasibility study and sign memorandum of understanding

Highlights:

~ ioneer and Caterpillar complete joint automation study detailing the apparent benefits for early adoption of a Cat® Command for hauling, Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) at Rhyolite Ridge for improved operator safety, equipment utilization and site productivity.

~ With the study complete and Rhyolite Ridge appears to be a very favourable candidate for AHS, ioneer and Caterpillar have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to move the initiative forward.

~Fully integrated mining automation systems offer unprecedented improvements in operator safety, equipment utilization, and site productivity.

~ The Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project will be the first greenfield operation in North America to utilize AHS.

~ In October 2020, ioneer announced that it had selected Caterpillar as the exclusive heavy equipment partner for its Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project in Nevada.
