LPD and COP28, page-89

Mechanic, that is the point I am trying to make, your right Chinese refining of mica's is not environmentally friendly, as you suggest, but producing 44% of Lithium from micas, indicates that a process like LPD would be like the goose that laid the golden egg, why should we not encourage Chinese finance, so that their processing becomes more environmentally friendly, they would make a vast impression on reduction of pollution if they could use our technology. I get the past impression that the Chinese were being kept out with their noses pushed up against the butcher shop window. If the west can't se the forest for the trees, why not encourage Chinese investment. I also ask the same question as before if we intend to sell beneficiated ore to the chinese, why aren't we selling the stockpiled beneficiated ore on site now to help finance the concentrator startup etc so we can at least mine and continue to concentrate new ore for sale.
