Although coincidental this gives a date by which the Czech Govt have the opportunity to state unequivocally for the benefit of the great and the good of the European Battery supply chain that the Czech Republic is open for this type of business....... let�s hope they don�t fluff their lines.

From article For lithium itself, Pertti Lamberg, CEO of Keliber Oy will highlight "Lithium FROM Europe for future energy solutions," while Martin Steinbild, Director, Lithium Business Development, Savannah Resources plc, will discuss "Perspectives for the Lithium Value Chain in Europe". Keith Coughlan, managing director of European Metals Holdings will discuss the Cinovec project in the Czech Republic, which hosts one of the largest lithium resources in Europe.

The combination of higher lease rates imposed and the additional costs to improve product grade/quality (whether within Chile itself or at the Cathode materials makers facilities) results in a materially higher cost base than that currently published for the bulk technical grade product they produce. As such, when global battery grade cost curves are published correctly in the future, you will ses a material shift up the global cost curve from Chilean players. I think that plays out well for the low-cost hard rock supply base for the emerging battery demand.� Ken�s comments bring up an interesting point, that the SQM deals bodes well for low-cost hard rock suppliers. With the greater shift toward lithium hydroxide demand in the market, hard rock producers were already starting to gain more support from investors. After this major news story, it seems like the Aussie mining hopefuls are indeed taking a contrarian approach, believing it will further tilt the market in their favor. In fact, Ken believes that investors may be overlooking some critical information when evaluating the lithium space. According to him, �A big piece that is being missed by the investor base is the changing dynamic around the Lithium raw material supply base, as a function of the new battery demand and its relative quality constraints. Cathode materials/cell marking require an exact standard which includes continuity of supply and the highest quality possible.
