Let me address your complaint.

First off. I substantiate more than anyone else on these threads.

I also want to point out that I am replying to your flaming and baiting to defend myself in the only way possible on HC given the double standards.

Can you imagine if I posted that LTR has a grade of 0.96% and to find out why, I'd need to confirm you bought in and then email you privately. There would be mass outrage. That is not how HC is meant to work and I'd never stoop to that level.

Why did I chose 0.96% in the above example? Because we have had someone claiming LTR has a grade of 1.7% - despite JORC compliant UG at 1.34% and that is the equivalent extent to which @Process1 inflated LTR's average grade.

You seem to have an issue with me not having screenshot the standard disclaimer for China customs import data. Not going to apologise for failing to take the time and redo it to your liking.

Does this forum want the customs data or not? I'm guessing not given it really doesnt want to even acknowledge local operations like Mt Holland. Appears to me most prefer to stick their head in the sand and don't want to know about it.

Meanwhile there's a pretty constant narrative that there cannot be oversupply because there is no incentive price for Australian hardrock operations.

Subjectively you are attempting to create a false equivalence between myself and those that refuse to substantiate, or mis-state information in attached screenshots hoping the average poster won't notice.

I chose not to include the disclaimer because, let's face it, most readers on HC don't understand what it means (so I simplify in order not to confuse).

Here's the kicker. The Nigerian ore is DSO. I'd much rather you brought that up than play games by focusing on the disclaimer. A disclaimer BTW, that IMO is similar to what is attached to Aus customs data - which you likely cannot get.

Regardless, if you want to focus on minor intricacies of substantiation, why do you not care for all the completely unsubstantiated information posted on LTR threads as fact that is easily debunked.

All that said, in future, I will aim to do better because I hold myself to a much higher ethical standard than those that refuse to substantiate yet demand integrity. As such I will include all disclaimers going forward.

For now, if you want to focus on the phrase general dircetion from the SMM data I provided, then all I'm left with is...

I would implore you to hold all posters on HC to the very high bar you are attempting to set for me. Beyond that I beg that LTR posts go back to basics and require substantiation instead of directions along the lines of "Trust me. I know every lithium resource globally. If you don't believe me go check for yourself"

IMO HC moderators have ceased their policy of requiring substantiation. Nonsense like @Process1 making statements of fact without supporting documentation go unmoderated yet you have the hide to nitpick me?

Strongly suggest you learn about the industry outside this echo chamber - then you may have understood the level of DSO out of Africa instead of pulling me up on some sort of minor complaint about a bog standard chart.

Ohhh. And I don't care about whether @anatol is more liked. He writes what posters want to read while avoiding facts and outright refuses to substantiate. I much prefer my integrity and ethics. The latter being a word he has shown he does not understand.

To be clear. I am not one who posts on HC for likes. It would be so easy to do so that it is essentially formulaic. If it happens because I post facts and substantiate, so be it. Last thing I want is to go about it the way some do. I was raised better than that. Thankfully my family did so. Had nothing to do with culture or ethnicity as some have indicated. Some of us 4th or 5th generation Australians do have ethics and are proud of our culture. No ethics tests on immigrants are required IMO - as @anatol hypocritically suggested - if those they encounter encourage them to be upstanding in that respect rather than applaud deceit.
