https://www.rocktechlithium.com/post/rock-tech-lodges-patent-application-for-a-novel-lithium-hydroxide-processPotential New process for AVZ being the Rock Tech Nitrate process, reading up on it last night and apparently is more effective and efficient than PLS. Wonder if this is why we have seen delays on the PLS offtake? Am sure lots going on in this space and can only imagine how tricky it is with so many new technologies.
Imagine trying to design the plant when new methods pop up, then factor in how do you agree a pricing formula for these offtakes. Would need to work out estimated costs and then feed it into a formula.
When you think in depth about what would be going on behind the scenes, it gives you a headache.
