LKE's ECA (Export Credit Agency) Eligibility, page-71

2. You are obviously not an ECA expert, I would suggest that you should leave GKB ventures who was appointed by LKE to do their thing. GKB has a track record of delivering knowledge and access to government supported schemes, including ECA financing, creating bespoke solutions which are scalable for the long term. GKB is currently appointed on over US$4 billion of structured ECA financings and has successfully closed numerous projects in the last five years.
These deals are very complicated. Steve has mentioned that he is considering a tri-partite deal between LKE, EV maker(s) and battery producer(s). Add to this the ECA institution(s), international bank(s), and possibly government(s), as government subsidy is often part of such strategic deals. You shouldn’t flood this message board and LKE CEO with your baseless demands which only show that you have zero understanding of the situation. LKE’s role is to progress these discussions, and announce major milestones, not to answer nonsense questions.

3. The general macro picture regarding Lithium is that all major research firms predict a serious supply shortage for this decade. This works in favour of LKE, and will help to progress discussions with the parties I mentioned above. ECAs often times are the helping hands of governments to achieve their strategic goals, and EU and US and China and several Asian countries have clearly identified that securing Lithium supply is their strategic goal. And when there’s a will, there will be a way.

4. Regarding the ESG benefits and CO2 footprint of LKE, they are clearly ahead of most current solutions. Just imagine e.g. how spodumene is mined in open pit mines in Australia, then it is shipped to China for further processing at 900 degrees celsius where they use a lot of dirty fossil fuel power plants and have poor environmental protection standards compared with e.g. the EU or US.
