I believe that we will go into production quickly, faster than big projects like AVZ or similar. It is just completely manageable our area, easy to plan mining and costs of production can be easily calculated, there are no nasty surprises, also the size of the resource is not of global or national importance, so we will go into production quietly without being stopped by manipulations or governments.Small and fine, that is our strength at CRR. Look at this, all the people who used to work at Pilbara and its current success have now all moved to Canada to take their skills back to success. We have a very strong neighbour in Quebec with CRR at Patriot Battery Metals who have a very large resource of national importance, the people all know each other from Australia and are now doing the same thing in Canada, but all 5 years back, everything is just starting in Canada, the rates are still very cheap today, but look 5 years into the future and you can see the golden future today at Pilbara, the same will be in Canada in 5 years.Very good time for us, just hold the shares for 5 years and you will get rich.
