Lithium metal batteries (i.e. solid state) requires Lithium Chloride or Lithium Carbonate rather than Lithium Hydroxide.

i.e. high quality brine assets become more valuable again (cough Sal de Vida cough) at the expense of hard rock spod operations such as GXY Mt. Cattlin, A40, PLS, AJM, MIN, Greenbushes (setting aside something like LPD at this point).

That's the beauty of GXY's diversification in terms of Lithium sources and geopolitics.
