Potential Catalysts- Financing, Resource Expansion and Offtake Partners: As a result of the SQM JV, the company has enough funds to cover the mine and concentrator capital costs. So the company will only need to raise capital to cover refinery related expenses. They are estimating this amount to be $550m (or $275m for Kidman’s share of the expenses).
Upcoming milestones: Kidman is expecting to put out Definitive Feasibility Studies (DFS) for both the mine/concentrator and the refinery by the midpoint of 2018, start production in 2019, with the refinery going live in late 2020.
