I think RIO have found out how late to the party they are with securing long life lithium assets. Not convinced that Jadar is going to be that easy to get into production either.
I have no doubt that RIO will now start looking at smaller targets to acquire but agree that Manono is just out of reach for them as was SQM stake.
