FWIW Howard is a paid spruiker for PLL. PLL is planning on producing hydroxide, however their deposit lacks the quailty to do so and needs a high quality spodumene from somewhere else. As mentioned at an AVZ pres, PLL were looking to do a deal for some of AVZ's product but for whatever reason that didn't eventuate and PLL ended up taking a stake in Ironridge in Ghana. Personally I'd rather not see AVZ assisting other lithium producers with product anyway.

If there's hostility from Howard towards AVZ then I would say that would be it, or that AVZ in production will dwarf PLL
Haven't seen the video yet but will soon.
