LPDs novel process is not a revolution because the leaching involved to extract minerals is all a known outcome reformatted to produce a Novel process and patented. Prior to this particular mineralisations were not really viable economically as is the case with Li in general being a not very interesting product that had never actually seen a huge demand . China it should be noted has been a major player since the 1950s. So LPD is only viable because of demand and modern technology , green energy and chemical production. LPD did not create the demand Government policy did world wide. In line with policy demand increased along with more Research and Development to create more viable alternate energy sources . Where LPD has perhaps excelled is in a move away from more traditional methods of mining which generally speaking have shown very little regard for the environment. In addition central to its success is cost control, energy costs includoing proximity to markets being a major factor. LPD have proposed to mine particular types of mineralisation thus its name. As far as I know LPD is the first company in the world to adopt a very specific set of individually tailored processes which individually are all known effective processes , with the objective of multiple by products and a green outcome all of which I might add are only viable due to demand , LPD did not create the demand the other part of demand and supply that is critical for many producers PLS for eg and most others is cheap enrgy to produce the products , and therein lies the answer to all things HJydrogen for example requires enrgy imputs greatrer than the produced output so the only way in which it can become viablke is through very low energy input costs and that in a nutshell is the whole energy revoliution and the movement away from fossil fuels including coal----ECONOMICS 101 . So its not so hard to see why there might be some reluctance believing a Novel Process and first of its kind applicxation is going to actually work or attract finance etc----so that I guess is quite simply the risk attached to the stock and anyone invested in LPD accepts that risk. If it works LPD will be the first of its kind to provide an almost 100% green outcome with multiple products that most processes discard as waste . Anyone who doesnt accept the risk in this first of its kind operator probably hasnt invested -------------doubt exists in every investoras mind its called risk, I cannot yunderstand why LKE and SYA for example have such high sp and MC hwen they still have enormous risk attched toi their respective projects LPD provides a viable alternatoive in theory and should it all come together well it might be an enormous opportunity which is why myself and others have invested

H @mechanic . Re your last para, reminded me of a comment in Joe Lowry’s latest Q + A podcast where a submitter referred to a ponzi scheme DLE venture in Argentina by name. Joe had to bleep the name out but did state that everyone would know who it was. Had to chuckle.
