Some context around 5EA lithium.

The above is 560kt of lithium carbonate equivalent.

Assume 500kstpa of boric acid equivalent = 10.4kstpa of lithium carbonate equivalent on a pro-rata basis.

Assume 60% of lithium carbonate recovery and it should produce 6Kstpa for the next 40 Years

Put that in context, the largest producer in the USA is Albemarle Silver Peak mine at 5Kstpa.

So 5EA would be the largest producer of Lithium carbonate in the USA. A few companies have lofty expectations to produce more but at present, they do not have permits to do so.

5EA will require No New Permits. In fact, 5EA will produce its lithium Carbonate from the Wastewater stream using “ Direct Lithium Extraction “

If I use spot price ( Cheeky ) would throw off 450M in Rev and I estimate an EBITDA of 400M.
(If you put it on ASX Comps, the current Mkt cap looks cheap on lithium alone)

New BFS is due at the end of the quarter and should have much more info around the Lithium opportunity.
