Yeah agreed, it will take at least 3 years to produce.
Push ahead with development of SDV in anticipation of higher demand/prices
Ok we blow $300 million+ developing it, we'll have no cash, & maybe a bit of debt.
But what do we have? A massive, highly valuable asset sitting there ready to go. If things get out of control & the Lithium market still hasn't recovered by then by all means shut down Mt C, put her on C&M, & just pump product out of SDV.
It's easy to be a back seat driver but, SDV is by far our biggest asset & it needs to be developed or our SP will go no where.
