It seems good news indeed, and thanks to new member bobbym for posting it (welcome to the PLS jungle). A few questions for mining and Lithium industry gurus -

1. If a decision were made to proceed with this process, how long would it typically take to design (scaled for the production volume being considered by PLS), construct and commission (bearing in mind that it is new technology and likely to have teething problems)?

2. How much of the construction project recently commenced would it replace (a little, a lot, or almost all)?

3. Could this possible disruptor be a reason for the perceived lack of information on the construction programme (some posters are speculating a delay in completion from end 2017 to early 2018)?

4. If first mining is delayed by a few months because of a need to change technology horses mid-stream, would the benefits substantially exceed the costs?

5. If so, does the risk of delay outweigh the potential benefits?

6. Would this news be a significant input into current Lithium market activity?
