1) Since Albermarle has been the only source and being there a long time -many decades, why has there not been an interest to buyin or purchase land aroud the surrounding area? (ie: especially when their concentration of their Li is getting depleted) Instead they have concentrated their bulk resources elsewhere.This is worth questioning especially since they are one of the largest conglomerates that control much of the world's lithium supply... Something to ponder? They would have been the first to get in the surrounding areas , so why the hold?
2) Most lithium player in that region would be vying for the telsa supply chain in that region I gather.There are already some in the supply chain ie: Rare Earth Minerals/ Bacanora Minerals/ Pure Energy Minerals.
It will be quite some time before the idea of being a supplier does become a possibility for Li3.
Let's see how it all unfolds in time.
