Agree a 3rd major to develop carbonate processing on site would mitigate the financial input .
One that has strategic alliance plus ready available funding to secure CATL expanding battery production .
Needs to be on the EV supply chain in China but not competitive to CATL.
The potential of 2 mines would also include an established miner in DRC.
What JV exists already with 2 majors that have set aside funding to secure lithium supplies and their expansion plans.
ShanShan +China Molybdenum
You have to give credit to the way Chinese Majors know how to achieve the best outcome for all involved.
Exciting few months ahead .Yes shorting is legal but not many will want to lend you shares during the drilling phase;Good luck to those trying to short the stock .
IMO you will fail .
All Imo.
