My understanding is that there is at least one other Australian lithium JORC resource where the entity has stated an intention to be mining in 2023. Due to previous gold mining at the site they already hold a mining lease and environmental approvals.

In Dec 2022 this entity included the following statement in an announcement: "As we aggressively pursue our target of first mining at XX XXX in 2023 and building a multi-project lithium business in the years ahead working with innovative and fast-growing business in the battery supply chain with group companies who will manufacture electric vehicles and energy storage solutions is an exciting development."
