Cornish Lithium only use part of LPDs process, yes they went in a different direction but still use part of the process. I think the UAE site has all the critical elements for processing, Europe has quite a lot of Lepidolite and one would think that would be an ideal marriage with LPDs processes. I dont have clear answers beyond there have been enormous delays for Cornish, Europe and the USA the Li markets have I believe been trashed by Chinas diversion away from traditional supply sources and as such they now have control of the battery market to a large extent. All LPDs processes will ultimately be discovered with only patent protection to stop exploitation in those countries where it might be recognised, todays market dip certainly gives some weight to Low Confidence . Theres nothing the BOD can do beyond continue seeking some form of production even if its only primary production to build cashflow , but at this point any further dip I would seriously consider buying more as funds permit such a low entry makes it appealing as I believe in the longer term Namibia will be a real alternate supply stream and primary processing would become an opportunity for an active entity. A little ray of sunshine is Ev cost to the consumer might become very competitive which will probably increase the demand for EVs. Its interesting that the DFC have expanded their interests and in reality thats what is required to get it all moving ,{Government Backed Funding} no Corporation can compete with the CCP . One thing is certain no one on this forum is as close to the action as our very experienced and well connected Board and am sure they are just as anxious as other shareholders
