The demo plant has been operating in Florida for ages, processing brine trucked 3000km from Paradox Project. The onsite demo plant will be at GR because putting it at Paradox would attract further SUWA BS and an unknown permitting time frame. This demo plant at GR will initially process brine trucked 80km from Paradox. This will have massive cost and logisitics savings compared to the Florida setup, as well as provide excellent optics for the whole project going forward.

Then once GR has been drilled and completed in a few months it will be fed directly into the demo plant instead of trucking from Paradox. While all this is happening, the bureaucratic wheels of BLM will continue turning at glacial speed, hopefully getting the green light for Paradox in time for FEED and offtakes (and hopefully a return of the lithium bull market).

There are a lot of moving parts at the moment with various headwinds and obstacles. I think the coy is doing quite well in trying to progress things on a variety of fronts in response to these challenges.
