Your discussion on the 500 tpa pilot plant has raised a point of interest for me!

You say the pilot plant ceased production because of low lithium prices at the time and because the operating costs of the pilot plant were making it at that time to be running at a loss.

My question: ME has the following projected AISC for AGY as follows:



While it may not be economical to run a 500 tpa pilot plant by itself, my question is do we know what it would cost to run the pilot plant with the 2,000 tpa plant operational? Could it be profitable at some stage (ie. higher Lithium prices) to consider still operating the pilot plant when the 2,000 tpa plant is up and running so that we have 2,500 tpa capacity?
