Oh yeah, I forgot...
TAW owns only 50% of their main asset the Bald Hill mine.
So most of everything above (resource size etc) you have to halve for TAW, because it is jointly owned with Alliance Mineral Assets.
“The Bald Hill Mine is co-owned by Singapore Exchange-listed Alliance Mineral Assets Limited (AMAL) and Tawana with each holding a 50% interest in minerals, processing plant and infrastructure at the project.”

Yes TAW is racing to production.
But don’t forget, MTC has lithium close to the surface and key infrastructure is there already.
Additionally, MTC’s assets are in one of the best jurisdictions, on America’s doorstep (eg. Apple is hunting for ethically-mined battery materials and wants to lock down supply for 10 years) and additionally there may be long-term F/X benefits to be had for an Aussie company mining in Canada.
Opinion only, dyor etc
