10,000tpa lithium chemical (carbonate or hydroxide) is the current target from Reung Kiet. Not to be confused with spodumene rocks that companies like PLS is shipping out.
Lithium carbonate was around $39,250 USD a tonne in the market in December.
They will use a lower price in any feasibility study of around $18,500 USD per tonne in case prices decrease but unlikely. Based on LPD's all in production cost and the price of $18,500, PAM might be selling their lithium for at least $15,300 per tonne. We'll only know economics for PAM in the scoping study released in March.
As @Shanwats0333 mentioned, Paul is quietly confident they will reach 40,000tpa with additional time to explore.
