Asset monetization looks like really creative lending in a non monetary way, as my example below shows, but on some type of deferred compensation scheduled into the future. This would alleviate the need to have hard cash funding up front.

Probably too simplistic but as an example: an engineering firm may defer compensation for their work for a period of time until an income stream begins to flow. Then, they get a slice from the deal. Since they have put at risk, time, expertise and effort to make it happen they will be expecting compensation at some time in the future.

Equipment manufacturers for the mine and plant could also do this, and a company like Caterpillar or others with deep pockets have this ability to wait for a nice pay off.

You’ve also got German loan guarantee and Nebraska tax credits available and in some ways you might say this too is monetization of assets from entities who are partnering for a benefit to all.

I don’t know if this is close or not, but I think it’s partly on track.
