In the recent half year results presentation the slide about sales and marketing mentions that battery grade lithium carbonate will be supplied commencing to Prime Planet Energy Solutions in June 2021. Not all batteries that use lithium carbonate must be LFP. PPES will make batteries for hybrid electric vehicles (at first). I don't think you need lithium hydroxide for that. Orocobre mentions several quality improvements for stage 1. I am not expert to judge what capacity is realistic for stage 1 + 2, especially with the much larger pond area being built. However, I hope it is more than 0.7 times nameplate capacity. I wonder why they haven't visible progress with the pond expansion, while Lithium Americas a few miles away seems to have no problems with expanding their ponds. I mean it is work out in the open with low Covid19 risk. It must have to with availability of material. Wouldn't we see the material for these huge ponds on the satellite images or is it that small when rolled together?!
