I texted Spinks (Andrew) on 9 May (on his way to Tanz) this year on the lapsed Aus patent after communicating with Frey earlier.

Not expecting any tangible news on Epanko until September ...earliest (I'm holding off stating what year)
Not expecting any tangible partnering news until patent granted or they build Aus plant in an underground bunker because apparently that will stop the Chinese from copying the process bahahahahahaha ...apparently 1st to market advantage is not good enough to warrant the investment
IMHO
