James E Marsh, Managing Director, clears the air about Andromeda Metals Ltd (ASX:ADN) over Coffee with Samso Episode 138
The time has finally come with the release of the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) - the long awaited release of the Andromeda business.
When I last spoke to Andromeda Metals Ltd (ASX:ADN) in late 2021, the company was basically doing its best to keep the momentum going while waiting for the DFS to be completed.
Here's the previous Coffee with Samso: The Real Halloysite - Kaolin Story - Andromeda Metals Limited (ASX: ADN) - Episode 124.
The premise of the whole business was that it is a simple business that was going to make a lot of money. The initial reaction from the market was not a good one, but I think the temperament of investors needs a strong taste of reality.
After talking with James Marsh and learning more about the business, I am convinced that the business has moved on from being a simple bulk commodity business of blending the Kaolin product. What they have now is a sophisticated future in the making.
