I think as @rayien mentioned, the Lithium off take will more likely be post hydroxide production. Clearly carbonate is important to prove the process in a general feasibility sense (x% pure lithium,y% recovery, low impurity etc), but they aren't looking to market it to the same degree as hydroxide. The off take suitors want hydroxide. Carbonate to hydroxide is a known costed process so even without LOHMax being proven (it can only improve things with less cost/waste) the carbonate result is a baseline.

I would expect that there are short term marketing opportunities for the SOP and caesium/rubidium if that's the focus now. Progress on any of the by products, and in a perfect world deals/offtakes, will allow them to be reliably included in the DFS and strengthen it significantly. Especially when looking at where on the cost curve they are and their sensitivity to hydroxide pricing (on the negative side).
