Euroz research report
The following is an extract from the Euroz report.
Comments
• NMT has announced its intention to demerge its Barrambie Titanium-Vanadium Project and associate non-lithium assets – completion set for Mar Q FY’19;
• This will provide for a vertically integrated lithium business to continue to evolve within the NMT structure whilst realise value for the emerging DSO Barrambie operation in the short to medium term;
• Longer term, NewCo will seek to advance potential development of downstream process flow sheets to produce high-purity vanadium and titanium chemicals;
• On our analysis, the demerger makes sense, with the market paying nothing for the remainder of the NMT business outside of its 13.8% stake in the Mt Marion lithium mine plus cash.
