The Importance of Lithium Projects

Lapitolite with all its challenges, low grade, high strip ratios normally and some other environmental issues is elevating the cost curve to a level that I believe protects even what we would have thought of as mediocre hard rock assets. Every time I talk about a project, having management or a team with no or very limited experience in lithium is a red flag for me. As long as he was looking at a project that had 12 to 15 years of life could produce at least 20,000 tons of LCE per year - Western Australia first.
