ASX:KLL

Kalium Lakes management achieved an exceptionally rapid project delivery schedule, including substantial project de‐risking through extensive pilot and trail testing. Shareholders should take significant comfort from the arrangement of the debt from German and Australian Governments, which would have entailed extensive due diligence.

Once in production, the market is likely to seriously consider using the lower discount rate, which points to a share price some 4x the current price.
