That was a great post to read, thank you
@Darkstone.
Just a few things I thought I might offer, of which it appears you might be aware, but some others may not.
"Galaxy Resources is assisting Lepidico with future business and growth opportunities, including evaluating potential synergies with the Mount Cattlin mine and James Bay projects, as well as accessing additional mica feedstock for processing via L-Max. As a result of the investment, Galaxy also has a representative on Lepidico's board."LinkHere is a video of the c-Plant by Outotec, a company which that Galaxy representative on the Lepidico board worked for-for many years.

is pleased to announce that it has produced battery grade lithium carbonate grading 99.8%, using its L-Max® process technology from a tailings stream sourced from the Galaxy Resource Ltd (“Galaxy”
Mt Cattlin spodumene operations. A standard suite of L-Max® by-products was also generated as part of the testwork program.
LinkAlso for those into Lithium Hydroxide Lepidico recently announced LOH-max.
View attachment 1526356LOH-Max™ to produce lithium hydroxide from lithium sulphate. The technology uses established equipment and is expected to incur lower capital and operating costs than the conventional alternative
LOH-Max™ (hereafter LOH-Max) is being integrated into LPD’s pilot plant, which nevertheless remains on budget and on schedule for commissioning in April prior to one month’s operation in May incorporating LOH-Max.LinkI don't doubt they will pass some of Mt Cattlin tailings through the pilot plant for a scaled up proof of concept and I am looking forward to seeing what Galaxy and Lepidico develop together.
IMO people spend too much time focussing on Sal De Vida and forget about the other parts that make up Galaxy.
I hope this helped anyone that is interested.
