That's true .....and the reality is that Canada doesn't often get left behind in it's drive towards a technological competitiveness and a will to compete in the vast and diverse North American markets. Hence the reason it virtually supplies around 75% of everything it produces to those directly located South of the Border.

And I'd rather have this any day of the week as against being reliant on China as your main trading partner. And we've seen first hand how that can end up.

So effectively there is only 25% in round number of what's left that Canada produces to potentially supply the rest of the world - vis a vis Europe who have a very strong appetite for everything Battery Metals wise and yet very limited resources . This is also why VUL is trading at a premium . This and the fact that their estimated cost of production is also one of the lowest by significant projected margins.

However SYA is also potentially now at the lowest end of the cost curve as well .....due mainly it's ' starting ' position on recovery of capital costs , it's access to some of the latest technological Industry developments , It's commitment and strong ' aligned ' support from BOTH its Provincial and Federal Governments , it's access and logistical proximity to large markets , it's also low carbon footprint due it's central processing / Ore bodies HUB , and it access and availability to obviously the lowest cost and cleanest green energy supply anywhere in the world.

So the markets are in the process of recognizing and putting all this together at the present moment. But make no mistake , the Europeans want our SPOD and converted products as well. Just ask Pallinghurst as to why they are so committed to Quebec in Lithium as well as Graphite......
