DFS delayed to the end of the year. It is obvious, the key partner (Severoceske Doly) of Geomet is now saying so to the media (EMHis now very close to non-disclosure to the market and not meeting their obligations, btw):

It is expected that citizens can comment on the draft update of the zoning plan until June 9. After that, the authority will deal with the comments and submit the proposal to regional representatives for approval. According to the director of Severočeské doly Ivo Pěgřímka, the project includes about ten changes that were created as a compromise between all parties involved.Significant changes, such as the relocation of the processing plant providing the project, bring relief especially to the Teplice district. 'It is a success for our district,' said Košťany mayor Tomáš Sváda, who is advocating that if the project is not implemented, the mining zones should not be a permanent part of the zoning plan.
The feasibility study for the entire project should be completed by the end of the year, Pěgřímek said. This strategically important lithium deposit is among the largest in Europe, and its extraction could have a significant impact not only on the region but also on the entire country. Lithium is considered a key metal of the future, especially in the production of car batteries, which is generating great interest in its possible extraction and processing."
