That's fair, but it's also fair to say that brines on average have lower opex costs than hard rock, this is even more true if you exclude Greenbushes. As a shareholder I'd be upset if Galan wasn't highlighting their expected advantages, even if it makes some dude on HC cringe a bit.

Galan is also not doing something brand new in the industry and assuming they have low costs (Liontown?). This is a well tried way to mine lithium and short of something very left field, the costs should be roughly in line with other brine producers in the same area.
