Under the act, the European Union has identified a list of 34 critical raw materials, which are important for the EU economy and face a risk of disruption, of which 17 are designated "strategic" because of their importance and global demand/supply imbalances.
The 17 projects will be announced in circa 13 days from now and from Keith's interviews I'm confident cinovec will be one of the 17 Strategic signicance. This will return all sentiment that the project is undoubtably coming online - shortly followed by the €49mil Just Transition grant were cinovec is already has strategic asset status. Flow sheet news on hydroxide this week and upgrades the end of April also.
Geomet and DRA Global were reviewing the findings, with an announcement expected before the end of April outlining significant improvements and developments.

CEZ/EMH/gov highly likely to be supplying this gigafactory also - CMAs strategic announcements and plans in 13 days. For anyone news looking - we're fully funded to FID so no risk of placings either.
