the more i look at hard rock mining of spodumene in Canada the more concerned i am about the freezing weather during winter. how do you mine in winter under snow conditions? hard rock mining CAPEX will be enormous for Spodumene. AZL is drilling wells to 2500 metres . No problems drilling year round and getting brine flow to surface when brine is over 50C. DLE will destroy costs for LCE production and hard rock mining cannot compete on costs. If AZL can prove DLE tech works on scale then DLE will dominate LCE production world wide. AZL's pilot plant worked exceptionally well so no reason this wont scale well into the field. Impurities were removed to 99%. Good luck longs.
