Bacanora Minerals (BCN), the AIM and TSX-listed lithium explorer with assets in the Sonora province of Mexico, has stood out from its peers in the junior exploration space in recent years. While share prices have collapsed all around it, this lithium play has maintained a market cap of £70 million despite having yet to release a PFS. Part of this is because lithium was the hot commodity of 2015, but also because (as Peter Secker alluded to when this exact question was put to him at Gold and Bears) Bacanora has a "supportive shareholder".

Another hat tip to reader Rudyard. Jabba The Hutt, aka, David Lenigas is a share promoter, and a good one – so far at least - but the result is that shareholders in things like Rare Earth Minerals (REM) can end up over-paying. There is no doubt that the Sonora lithium deposit is very large, and in the fullness of time could generate substantial value. But that misses the point, which is that Rare is an investment company and one should therefore look at the share price in terms of the current market value of the individual components. This is important when you can get access to the same assets via investing directly, in other listed companies.
