ASN General Discussion, page-4049

As others have stated also @froggy , don't get sucked in by production numbers of Albermarle or SQM or Australian peers whose fan boys turn up from time to time , key word is DIG and DIG some more numbers don't lie people do so if a company tells you that they produce 2500 LICE pa but another entity owns 25% then that number they have is 1875 ! alternatively if a company tells you they produce 5000 LICE pa but less than half is battery grade without being sent to a plant to further refined then it's not apples with apples , the same if your a company that can only recover 60-80% from brine to produce a non battery grade solution that's shipped to another country for further refining only to produce some battery grade and some technical grade Lithium compounds . There's a reason there are so many haters , and there is a race in at the moment and IMHO ASN is just about to come out of the last bend into the straight, it will be a battle and as I have said before there will be casualties!
