As I understand it....

Step 1:
Concept testing based on past experience and bench top chemistry using actual materials that you will be working with from the evaporated brines.
Prove capability to produce BG Lithium.
Data is used to guide step 2.

Step 2:
Design and build small scale pilot plant.
Run tests. tweak process and develop design for larger scale proof of concept processing plant.
Significant quantities of BG Lithium produced ( a few drums?)
Order equipment.

Step 3:
Equipment arrives.
Bolt together.
Start large scale tests. Tweak and refine.
This is your commercial scale proof of concept plant (albeit, not full capacity)

Step 4:
Design and build commercial full scale processing facility.

Step 5:
Tweak design further.
Design upscale full processing plant (increase capacity)

As I understand it, we have completed Step 2 ???
