Q: Dear 5i team.

Can you provide an update on your views re: ETL?
Looking at the chart, it's had some crazy runs in it's history, so if you could look back and shine some light on this for me, would be great.
Are they in production?
What is the current outlook for Lithium prices?
Speculate a bit on demand for Lithium based on current macro outlook and EV production? Any other uses for Lithium that could drive demand.

Many thanks for your insights.

Secondly, notwithstanding the incredible recent run up in the commodity and the miners, what is your outlook on gold for the next 5 to 10 years?
Lastly, if the sector is still appealing to you, would you buy the commodity etf, a seniors etf or a juniors etf?

Q: Hi Peter…Any red flags with GOT’s latest private placement? Are the “Broker Warrants” a deal sweetener? I presume the Broker will want to peddle the warrants to the major shareholders at some point in the future…maybe when the warrants are “in-the-money”. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
