The more money that you haven't got, and the more money that you try to raise and the more money the project is likely to lose, the easier it is to do it.. When people used to ask me how much I had in my projects I used to tell them X and y etc.. but I caught on. Now I tell them absolutely nothing, never plan to own a cent. I am totally out of it ... that way there is that much more for you, the investor! And no dilution! After all if I were in it up to my eyeballs I could be overevaluating its worth just to jack the price of my own shares... I would be far too hopeful...you wanted realism, right? Oh yeah, sorry.. well how about the best possible outcome? Between what you don't have and what the rest of this board doesn't have, I would bet we could start all lithium mines on the planet mars. ********************************************* I'm so broke, I go to KFC and lick other peoples fingers. I'm so broke me and my girlfriend got married for the rice. I'm so broke, if a trip around the world cost a nickel, I wouldn't have enough to get out of sight! I'm so broke that I just went into McDonald's and put a small fry on layaway. If pickles were 10 cents a truckload I couldn't buy a wart off a cucumber! I'm so broke, just to rub two nickels together, I'd have to borrow one. We were so broke, that at Christmas, all we could exchange was glances. I'm so broke, the bank asked for their calendar back. I'm so broke, long distance companies don't even call me to switch! If I stopped on a dime, I'd probably owe it to someone. I ain't broke, but I'm severely bent. Someone saw me kicking a can down the street, and when asked what I was doing I said, "Moving." I'm so broke I can't afford to pay attention! A guy walked into our house, stepped on a cigarette and my Mom yelled, "Who turned off the heat?" I'm so broke that when someone saw my Mom walking down the street with one shoe, they said, "Hey, you lost a shoe." She said, "No, I found one." We're so broke that if someone rings our doorbell I have to yell, "Ding Dong!". EC<:-}
