Just looking at countries outside of China who want to make batteries (south Korea) probably in Europe on a large scale at some point. They need graphite and alot of it. China has demonstrated they can produce bucket loads of synthetic, the environment cost is unknown. They also are digging up Africa. I believe there is a market for battery minerals coming from sustainable or environmentally concious sources.

And ontopontop of that, we have seen in the past, China can slap us up if they want, banning the import of our goods at the drop of a hat. I personally think we will get best value selling outside of China and I do believe there is a market for it. Life of mine is 40yrs, maybe we will see Australia actually use its natural resources one day and build a fkn battery at home for once. Not holding my breath though
