Interesting, maybe we could sell our nickel and gold interests to them in return for Lithium rights!

That's why investing in processing even with 5-7 years of feed i think still makes sense. With ESS own exploration targets and opportunities like that in near proximity there is going to be plenty of opportunity to keep the processing site busy for its useful life. It's such a prospective area for Lithium and well located for infrastructure.

The free cash flow in those initial years will be significant, so will give plenty of ammunition to add more resource if we don't find it ourselves. That's if a bigger party doesn't come over the top and consolidate them into one.

The independent scoping study I think is going to be the trigger that will show everyone the value proposition.
