Thanks, ml, the interview recently said,, the saudis have the expertise and smelters ,do you think the 3m was a sweetener from them to befront of the que in suppling equipment, and smelters in the future, as we have billions of tons to sort and then the titanium would have to be refined and melted into a high grade for titanium metal.? this could move quicker than we think as who ever gets the jv deal , would also be keen to start breaking ground asap, are we talking 3rd quarter or a year or more for infrastructure to arrive /be built, i know my kod investment has the money but its taking a year for the chineee/kodsters to build it before any lithium in large amounts gets shipped off to china for refining from 6% ore. as you have said people are looking for a friendly country to produce from as the chinese have cornered the market in rare earth metals already and are restricting supply,so not friendly then, also they would control the prices(just like opec with oil,ie reducing production to keep it inflated,,)australia is already a huge producer of gold,so eee have put the gold find,on hold whilst they concentrate on pitfield,so thats another string to our bow to revisit after titanisaurus is sorted,,exciting times ahead.
