Rio Tinto lithium resource in Serbia (125.3 Mt grading 1.8% Li2O) surpasses the one owned by Pilbara Minerals Ltd. at Pilgangoora (80.2 Mt grading 1.26% Li2O).

I reckon that any junior lithium company that is not able to place their product on the market by the end of 2017, will have a hard time hoping for favorable market conditions that would fuel their further development.
