Ann: LAKE LITHIUM TO BE TESTED IN BATTERIES BY NOVONIX, page-98

With respect dugsab, there is NO WAY way Steve would "tell the market" that "competitors are keen to white ant and roadblock" what Lake is trying to do. NO WAY.
And, equally, no way will they disclose exclusivity agreements,for very obvious commercial reasons. Surely that is basic knowledge to "the market"?? But, with what they are doing with Kachi and what it's costing Lake, you can bet your proverbials that very strong exclusivity rights exist for huge areas around Kachi!!!
I'm sure that the "market is smart enough to realize that Lake, with Kachi and using Lilac's DLE process, is a major disruptor to the existing "big boys" and if proven, makes their current practices virtually obsolete and making extensions to their now evaporative process out of the question, even, possibly illegal!!!! It's a new "green" world dugsab, EVERYONE MUST join it, ESPECIALLY miners!!!!
Lake, with Lilac, IS a THREAT, a huge THREAT and you can be absolutely certain that they won't be given an armchair ride. That's where "connections" come into play and through Lilac, Lake has huge "connections" when it comes to the environment issues!!!
