Just been doing a bit of reading myself
@dazaliam, found this article detailing lithium-ion battery factories planned for Europe & expected dates.....

That’s a WHOLE LOT OF LITHIUM that’s going to be needed.
I still think the product will go to China but what a perfect time to presenting the European options our optimised PFS showing to be the third lowest cost producer in the world.
I can imagine managements phone will start ringing quite a lot soon, maybe time to get Greg a headset
Here is the article for those interested...
