Running Commentary on the SP Movements., page-5191

There's no "probably", just a contingency definitely worth factoring in, as one contingency. None of us know market sentiment 10 years from now --its definitely looking EV based, but it would be monumental to change track with a very different tech and chemistry to present methods.

Also as for "proven" it is proven based on historicals (check
USGS records) and that might be enough for the Chinese, as they don't have the same regulatory framework to necessarily to bide by. This stock is a test case in point if it is sold before JORC. JORC is a western man calvinist-Boy Scout do-your-knots-like-this policy. Great but don't kid yourself its a necessity for the suitor. So sorry, M_K doesn't have the same timeframes as PLS, is that clear for you now?

lithium has many uses beyond batteries, one fairly new one might be alloying lithium with aluminium, this would also help EV's with range but also aircraft the main target I understand.
