Yes, if it is Alcoa they will have to continue landfilling whilst MHM gets up to speed.
But you can be assured that if Alcoa makes a public song and dance about their commitment to stop landfilling as soon as practicable and they detail that they have partnered with an innovative Australian company which has solved the salt slag puzzle (not 'appeared' to have solved the puzzle - they wouldn't go public like this if they weren't 100% convinced that the process was viable both in a practical sense and financially; surely?) then they will be very keen for MHM to 'get on with it'....maybe even partner the first plant, expediate it, perhaps even partially (or wholly) finance the thing. Hell, we're talking Alcoa here! Maybe? Please?!
