re: Diving deeper on Standard Lithium?

So, what does CYDVF opportunity look like? Sounds like they have similar capability to SLI (?) only they make brine out of dirt. Any idea when they will make money?

Not based on much data, but, I'm guessing Koch will be supply the reagent and take the spent reagent.

I think the funds and etfs are in slow accumulation mode. ...to be followed by upgrades and then shorts..and repeat. So, flat for a while, the spike, shorts, lawsuits, and flat again until late 2023 when production hits...typically when you are hiring operators you are about a year out...
SLI gets to keep profit of two major sources of US lithium while lanxess sells the extraction chemical. Question is whether SLI has IP protected. Maybe the next step is to get Royalties for tech...maybe with SLI and Lanxess and/or Koch

Having worked for a large petrochemical company and tried to make them money, I can tell you what lanxess is really saying. This ain't our core business, so unless it becomes so (and it could) we prefer not to invest our capital. They aren't saying its a bad investment, it just isn't big enough in this volatile market.

Where the heck are Lanxess and Koch? When you are mentioned you should respond:

"Standard’s flagship project has been delayed by nearly 18 months with key partner Lanxess recently admitting that Standard’s extraction technology has still not demonstrated “proof of concept”. Lanxess says it has “no timeline” for development and is no longer mentioning Standard Lithium on its earnings calls."

"A subsidiary of Koch Industries, which starting last year has been aggressively investing in SPACs, PIPEs, and ESG-oriented “growth equity” investments recently stepped in as a partner with a $100 million investment. We think Koch missed red flags and failed in its due diligence in its haste to deploy capital"

Agree we are at a bottom. Bought 1 K at limit of 6.9 that executed at 6.75 via 6 small trades. No whales on the sell side....who knows next week's price...
So, I tendered mine. Question is should I buy more to tender? ....with the support of the existing management, seems likely that the privatization of PQEFF is going to happen...

given they've been running the pilot plant for over a year. I would think they would be working on a feedstock quality test program to evaluate Tetra and other sites. I hope they already have a design (and maybe major pieces on order) for the commercial unit and are just waiting on lawyers/Lanxess....

It's standard operating procedure. Raise fear or greed depending on which side of the price they are on. This didn't make sense on many levels. SLI communicator chief needs to be faster on his feet if SLI expects to burn these bastards.

Lawyers get paid for time spent...lawyers are involved...

The blue orca data may be right. However, consolidated data from a pilot program is totally useless for their purposes. During an industry pilot program you are moving each variable around to determine the operating envelope. A breakdown of their testing would tell a story but lumped together in a quarterly data dump...it is useless. I'm pretty sure SLI is not going to want to share their pilot data, but it should be easy to respond with a comment like what I just shared. The commercial unit running for a quarter will visably define success or failure.

Yea, good point.

Where is SLI's corporate "communication" manager? What does it take to get a response?

That being said: if this is so damning like that hedge fund wants us to believe, why would Lanxess convert their loan into shares of SLI? They would know all the internal data. Just food for thought I received from the yahoo board.

It would be nice to know how much time it will take after FID to be on spec. Perhaps there are some facilities being upgraded before final approval...Can we get more out of their Corp "Communications" Mgr by those with more shares than me? smack? Who is setting the FID timing? SLI or Lanxess HQ? Who wants to change the 2018 JV proposal they aligned on.
Yeah got about 45k shares at .1175. Real money is if the tech opens up unattractive oil by not requiring water,decreasing cost and increasing value. They're missing out by just licensing....can always change. SLI is a better business model (30% of profit)....
Petroteq’s addressable bitumen oil sands in the U.S., Canada and Russia are roughly 40 billion barrels.

So, 5% of production as a production royalty stream,assuming a 10 KBD unit with a 20 $/B margin and 80 % service factor yields 2.9 Million dollars a year (before taxes and capital costs). This is expected to happen by 2023.

Long term they should be able to roll out maybe 10 sites at 10 KBD with 80% service factor yielding 29 Million dollars a year profit before taxes. AND, since it is clean technology it should happen faster than might be expected once adjustments are made for each plant's feedstock quality..

Their current cap is 109 M$.

Looking at the Conditions of the offer,it looks like Viston can pretty much cancel the order on a whim. Hence,the discount vs the offering price.
The technology is worth billions based on all the oil in the US/canadian sands and the quality of the Utah oil and the environmental strength of the tech. The tech is woke or Viston wouldn't be bidding.

I would prefer an owner who is in the oil field business buying the company rather than a swiss wokany.This would provide woke cred for a big oil company like XOM who has a bunch of Canadian sand. However, I believe the Canadian oilsand is sour and heavier....that being said, XOM ain't mickey mouse and could implement this rapidly worldwide.
If the net present value is as high as they are saying then they expect to make most of their money before 2025. Having done NPVs on many chem plant projects, only the first 3 years matter. I would like to see the income versus time for this project. Otherwise, I suspect the NPV is for 2025, which makes this interesting but not as impactful short term. On the other hand, they have the Lanxess project which should fill in the gap short term, I think...
