It is a good idea to look at earlier lithium mines, bald hill is one good example that Steve set up and the issues they had with offtakes and fluctuating lithium prices, Bald Hill shut at one point due to their offtake.
Lithium when it had that crazy high price was a very different situation to today. Suay Chin last year must have been counting their chickens, this year for a company like them it is a potential liability. Remember Suay Chin bottled buying Bougouni before us due to cost.
Ganfeng and Hainan that offtake is peanuts to them and they are in the processing game, Hainan steel at present but soon in their soon to completed lithium plant.
A mine needs a secure end user.
Every single explorer does deals with much larger entities, BP, Shell, Rio Tinto we are not going down in any way a new path
Those big entities rob an explorer and they are finished, nothing else will be put their way, which is why BP etc never trample over them.
Your panick is over nothing.
