It isn't meaningless without the hydroxide resource.
It proves the ability to produce the correct quality of a battery production precursor at pilot level .... which had to be one of my biggest risk factors.
It is straightforward to take this Carbonate product and convert it to hydroxide..... wouldn't be the most economic way to supply this particular product but as the first stage of the process is so far to the left of the graph for low cost Lithium production, that the resultant Hydroxide would still sit well in the marketplace.
So..... with a worse case still being a plausible solution, I cant be anything but very positive to see these pilot plant results.
