Iain, yes that's what I was meaning, spod concentrate. Tbh I'm just chewing the fat with this but the IPCC report that came out this week just might bang heads together in order to get things moving along a bit quicker....

Sorry ant, another random thought. We know that due to the first stage conversion using magnetic separation we can concentrate the slurry to approx 3%. This stage also removes the tin and tungsten which can be processed separately. 3% concentrate sold as is to other customers could also be a possibility at some point. Someone mentioned 2 portals to the mine, one for us and another(s) for external customers who want to process the slurry themselves. After all, we appear to have enough product to go round.

Yes but what you have to remember is that spodumene has a Li conc of about 5-6%. This means it requires only 4 or 5 tonnes. Currently it is selling between $850-$1100 per tonne of spod....

Google is your friend.....

Molecular weight is 42 due to the compound being anhydrous. This means it requires less dirt to get to the 1 tonne of product....

Yes

Sorry weights not volumes.....

Yes, if the resource has 1% Li.......depends on how the resource is compiled. I thought from memory that the drilling so far has established Li %'s at 0.5-0.6%. I could be wrong on that but nonetheless these are the volumes required give or take....

If pure hydroxide then yes the molecular weight is 24. Don't know the final makeup of product but for argument sake let's say it is pure 100% LiOH. If the li content is 0.5%, then for every tonne of dirt we get 5kg of lithium. Once converted to OH we get 24/7 multiplied by 5...... 17kg. 1000/17 = 59 toners of dirt per 1 tonne of product. This assumes that we have 100% conversion of lithium (which we won't) and that the lithium product will have a molecular weight of 24.

Ant, I posted a similar article a few months back when talk of Russian interference reared its ugly head. I also got no response to that. Some people want to believe things that are not there

Yup, and us Scots don't like it either lol

Great info and great news. Looks like the US listing timing was pre-planned....

Hopefully tonight the Aussies blow the bloody doors off the SP

Interesting tweet but no mention if its with a partner or they're going it alone....

Ant, try this...

RP, I think the best course of action for questions like these is by asking KC at emh. He answers quickly and may put your doubts to bed.

RP, is your mask slipping by going through all the stuff that's been discussed a long time ago?

On reflection yes. Get it done -)

Absolutely yes

Fair enough Antelope. We are all here to see emh do well and perhaps we've all got different interpretations on how we think our partners go about their business. As it stands we've no say on how cez conducts its business and maybe we should just accept it.

On a completely different note (positive perhaps) the slides do mention the cz gigafactory. They anticipate a 10% working interest which perhaps would leave a 90% share to a partner. My posting last week that assumed a 50/50 split and made no sense now looks much more rational. The kicker for a prospective OEM is guarantee of supply. An absolute kicker

RP, I wouldn't go as far as saying that and tbh on this site you'll end up in the sinbin for saying so. I just find it curious that they don't seem too bothered. FFS they had more to say about coal today than lithium...
