CAPEX estimate is US $749M, with operating costs at US $5,849/t LCE.
Using a long-term price of ~US $30,000/t the NPV10% is US $1.15B post-tax.

Interesting that they used $30,000 as a long term price. That seems high now but I like the low cost of production for a 10ktpa moving to 20ktpa DLE operation.
