An increase in the LAC investment could be arranged anytime and its known additional capital.

Given the size of the investment required, I'd have expected the investment to be from the company taking the offtake and thereby assisting to raise the finance necessary for development. Additionally assuming its a big-name company, the offtake entity will be aware that GT1's share price may well jump on the offtake so gaining some shares at a pre-offtake price would be an astute investment. Ganfeng found out how profitable it could be with its $34m at 33.8c into Core (Aug 2021).
