Hmmm really "due to the infrastructure " this is a good point but not what I was thinking asking about . There's virtually no Boron in this brine this completely negates the need for not 1 but 2 boron circuits in the flow sheet . It's so low that it possibly means that only extraction is required in the flow sheet and is like that only one pass of extraction is required .

This IMHO equates to a capex for 10,000 Mtpa of half that of Paradox and IMHO the OPEX will follow suit as far less passes and washes in the extraction columns will be required .

So for example the original $495 million USD CAPEX for Paradox is instantly reduced to $465 million USD due to the $30 million USD in owners costs being removed as ASN doesn't need a pipe line to Green River In addition this $465 million IMHO due to substantial reductions in the flow sheet could reduce it back to $265 million USD or even less as there's no Boron and it's likely that there never will be .

This IMHO is significant but it's not fact merely conclusions based on previous known data and new known data .
