Thats interesting various other asx listed have had far less than 3 from now to production considering we originally had a 2021 first production date. Ioneer has been dragged along by various government stipulations that many of the other various ASX listed being AUS based have not had to deal with. It seems like the USA is more of a Circus than a nation.

As an astute investor I feel I have been lied to in investor presentations, the statement "mine friendly jurisdiction". I have to completely disagree with what they have said. Nevada is not a mine friendly jurisdiction at all. If it was we wouldnt have had to jump through hoops of various sizes just to appease little green finger.....

Clearly conventional hard rock plays in Aus would have been a better investment this can be seen in many other AUS based ASX listed lithium plays. Canada and Lithium Triangle have also done alright.

Pending we get a permit,
Pending construction that you keep saying is 24M (I don't believe that in current market, especially considering the size of the project, this will be the first lithium conversion done on site in USA) and as I said read the *DISCLAIMER* about statements including "believe" "expected" etc....

Its likely we will be dragged through more hoops before we get to production even if 24mths is achieved, meaning the 1st production would still be same time anyway.

2026. Hmmm im leaning more towards 2030 on this investment. Not due to management in any regards, all due to US government incompetence. But when you have a seniors home every 4 years as your pesidential candidates could we really expect any speed or certainty with decisions!
