You're misusing an expression. It should be "cannot be overstated".

That means, it's not possibleto overstate this.

Correctly expressed, it is a much more powerful expression than must not be understated
(which is actually lame by comparison if you think about it).

Aside from this you should not be lifting entire articles without attribution, or analysis as to merit.
It's a copyright issue. You can lift partially, for reasons of discussion but you must be value adding.

Onto substance: yes, this next week or two are going to be very interesting indeed but I'm hoping that Creasy and Rovira are going the distance and are serious about drilling well into 2024 to get maximum value. Creasy is not a charitable institution so as CBS has stated, he likes to go for full value, as happened with the sale to IGO and I'm also expecting SQM to have issues with FIRB as was discussed in here many times before they made that low-ball bid. The position of the Australian government has shifted on this considerably, so it raises public interest considerations.

The value adding needs to happen, if Australia is to stop being just a quarry as seen in the AFR article, and the government is going to have revenue issues into the future in the absence of this. Further, as the Lithium expert made clear in his interview with Money of Mine on YouTube, it's not a commodity. It's actually an element that needs to be processed so it's the processing that is so crucial, apart from the mineralisation levels, extraction etc. that makes it most valuable. We are at the crossroads and AZS is right in the spotlight.
