CATL would probably have put in a bid since they had invested in NAL previously. The issue there is that Canada is looking unfavorably on China purchasing certain raw materials, so this may factor into the ultimate deal. I am certain there is interest in purchasing from others, however I don't know that too many could raise the correct funds to do so. Also the fact that blending ore bodies with Authier maybe the only way to make the mine profitable would be a big PLUS for Sayona. We may never know who the other bidders were and that's ok with me as long as Sayona's sign gets hung in front of the NAL mine.
