And to discuss a potential suitor, I listed companies RIO, FMG, south 32, BHP and IGO

my money is on RIO
they are desperate to get into Lithium, reportedly under bidders for SQM, rumors on purchasing KDR and also were interested in Tianqi share sale. If they do not get in on KV then they will have to wait for a new project to come a light, which could take years, or they would have to buy in another lithium project that comes up for sale which could take years and at a high premium

the CEO worked at RIO, he must have some contacts still in there

IGO has bought tianqi so don’t think they would
FMG is trying to find it themselves and looking at a lot of other green energy resources.

anyway, we will see in the next 6 months what will come of it, but with the CEO starting in 8 weeks I expect things will start moving at a rapid place from then
