Currently EV and battery companies source lithium from anywhere they can get their hands on because of shortage but as more green lithium mining companies start to produce lithium, the shift will definitely towards these companies. You can make money now by buying into solid rock lithium mining companies but once brine lithium mining companies start their full production in 2024 and beyond, there will be a BIG shift. That's why Vulcan has already made all these MOUs with big companies for the future. Big companies don't make MUO without extensive research! With all these MUO's, it's quite clear Vulcan will be a 10B+ company in 5 years...that's NOT speculative!
The temptation is to earn the quick cash now with these other solid rock lithium mining companies because they are actually producing and to catch the momentum in the market, rather than letting your money sitting relatively idle with companies like Vulcan for the next 2-3 years, and having to endure the turbulence in the market which can be a painful process! But as the saying goes "all things come to those who wait".
