Surprising I agree with your percentage give or take 10% on each point. It is about the same for any new mine around the world.

However I am thinking late next year at the earliest before BLM even has a decision to make. Basically my view is this slowness in everything America does is the reason it will lose its title as the most important superpower within a few decades.

In a nutshell America knows it is critical resource, everyone including the President past trump or current biden, so it should only take few months to declare it is unlikely or will get BLM.

If AZL is likely to get, AZL should be allowed to go full steam ahead planning, if AZL is not allowed, this team should be told go look ofr other deposits rather than not twiddle their thumbs or writing reports to local, state and federal departments in sequence than wait for injunction if denied.

From an allie looking in, what a joke the Defence Production Act is just lip service.
