Interesting comments from a recent AFR article (the rest is also compelling) and bodes well for KM1 IMO:
Chilean lithium giant SQM says its takeover of Azure Minerals won’t be its last push into Australia as it expressed confidence that a commodity price recovery would bolster future returns from its new Mt Holland lithium partnership with Wesfarmers.SQM chief executive Ricardo Ramos described Australia as the next global lithium bowl, and flagged “aggressive” ongoing investment in the country over coming years at the opening for the Mt Holland Mine 400 kilometres east of Perth on Thursday.“We want to invest more, we think it’s a great project, I would love to have 10 different Mt Hollands in Australia, one is not enough,” Mr Ramos said.
“We have a very good team in Australia looking for high-quality projects, and we think we will find opportunities in the future, and we will wait until we have those opportunities.”
