It's short term. Then carbonate will get going and the offtake won't be around.
I'm amazed people can't see this.

What would you rather out of these two options ?

1. We have a mine, and are building a plant. It's a couple of years away from producing revenue. We are in the same position as quite a few other lithium companies right now.
2. We have a plant and are mining. Revenue, albeit heavily reduced due to a partnership deal, will flow in for the next couple of years, before turning into a downstream processing plant, with unaffected revenue. So while those other companies will start mining their spod, we will be refining it.

Because the 3rd option, that we have a plant which is producing an unaffected revenue from day 1, was never going to happen.
