I could be wrong but it seems to me the lithium boom is only just starting and a Chinese entity will want to mine this so time is a factor. Given the seemingly low OPEX and huge scale MK will be a prize asset.
My bet is whoever is going to buy MK has already made their decision and will have a timetable to production already drawn up.
