Finger in the air. CL lith brine 20,000tpa hydroxide.
CL Trelavour rock basic 20,000tpa ( if those tailings are any good this should be easy to achieve ).
Basic 40,000tpa lith hydrox x US$13,000=US$520M per year. 40,000tpa - ave US8,000 per ton after costs with a mix of brine and rock to lith carbonate + cost to hydroxide , so guessing US$5,000 Cost per ton, a bit high on costs but healthy , could be lower so all in 40,000 x 8,000pt profit lith hydrox = US$320M per year x 20 years = US$6.4 B Minus CAPEX ( 1.4B over 20 years ) = US$5 Billion profit. ? Finger in the air though. What do you think ?
