The Future of the Lithium Industry in Australia

The reason why you would go to direct lithium extraction DLE over these two methods of hard rock or brine is because it's environmentally friendly. In theory, depending on which method it can be, you know, effectively net zero carbon emissions to do it. And therefore, even if it is more expensive, I guess in theory, if you do introduce carbon techs or some kind of a carbon emissions penalty for the extraction of raw material then that should to some extent mitigate the higher cost. Australia is very good at permitting projects and getting them going. The Pilbara was from drill bit to production was four years, which is exceptional. Canada says that they're going to look not just to
