lmax has never used HF so idk what you're insinuating. SiLeach used/produced HF at one time as was shown in their older documents. Idk if they found away around that WITHOUT using LMax, but that appeared to be their strategy at that time. It's more the dishonesty that bothers me than anything, and the fact we dont know enough about the process to know for sure. In their current documents it still is vague saying things like 'acid solution' or 'acid digestion'. Well what acid, how much etc? These are all huge things environmentally and economically that could ruin the viability of your tech and you dont question it at all!?

we dont need 3 pilot plants. Who needs to test their technology at 3 pilot levels!? You want to tall numbers? A 42m dollar pilot!? Huge investment in something that is not commercially viable. Estimated $10k per ton cost!? maybe it's expensive acid.... That's about half the cost of our plant which will have more than double the lithium output, suite of actually useful byproducts, and operating costs in the low $2000-4000 range. And that's before byproduct credits.
