Forgot to mention that in June we're also expecting ABB and Talga to finalise the front-end engineering and design ("FEED") for the 100,000tpa graphite concentrator at Vittangi, 19,500tpa anode plant at Luleå and "earlier ramp-up stages/production qualification modules".

The line from the announcement last year about earlier ramp-up stages/production qualification modules is interesting. Talga have already mined around 2,300 tonnes from the Niska trial mine and have a commercial production module in Swerim. They're planning to mine the remaining 22,700 tonnes later this year which produces around 4,500 tonnes of anode. I wonder if Talga are planning to ramp up the production further ahead of the 19,500 tonne plant for qualification/early commercial supply? Would this be an expansion of what's at Swerim currently, or something new?
