15,000-25,000 tpa of Lithium Hydroxide.9 Mar 2021 16:24
Lithium Hydroxide @ 15,000-25,000tpa is an extremely good size of production and indicates once again the similarity to cinovec in czech.
The grades here appear to be of a better average AND having Copper aswell as Tin in good grades should bring down the CAPEX as the extra step creation to Hydroxide will be costly approx £350-400m for plant to process this amount ( unless Mr Musk buys supplies and builds his own plant up in Bristol ??? ).
I would still prefer C M to pay for the plant and attain maximum value for Li2OH on the market.
But going back to the Tin & Copper , this could really bring the cost per ton from say an industry average of $5-6,500 per ton down to $3,500-4,000 per ton. Extremely interested on how this plays out.
