@rookstar
Your questions.... and while doing my reply.... have really got me thinking that perhaps this is indeed all about cranking up the priority of Wodgina. What now makes good logic to me is whether ALB (MIN's Wodgina JV partner) has reasoned it is going to fail in its audacious bid for LTR and has said to MIN..."hey, we need to rapidly get the Wodgina brownfields project to production!"

So MIN has decided to raise extra funds to get started sooner rather than later. I seem to recall that during the cut and thrust negotiations about Kemerton etc, it had been thought Wodgina was going to be delayed...maybe now it gets done quickly?
