Ann: AVZ to raise $15 million to fund Manono Project, page-548

Re rate definitely
Economics of Lithium Mining from Manono is also improved by the Tin and Tantalum credits.
by how much ?
If you listen to Klaus ,lithium extraction costs and delivery to port as much as 100% FREE CARRYING the lithium.
Chinese do the due diligence . The 0.07c was a bargain.
making lithium mining 100 % profit .
Oh /// tin prices are on the rise......

Interesting article that a major tin operator ceased its lease ?? was it because of high spodumene content.

"The mineralogy of the deposit is unique due to the high tonnages of spodumene which contains up to 2% lithium oxide and columbo-tantalite which made up 5% of the tin concentrate.'


Same company does not have any problem with continuing operations in DRC.
