Let me put it this way, Sue. PLS is a successful producer with two operating mines, and is currently in the sweet spot of rapidly rising lithium prices, which show no signs of meeting demand in the near future, and possibly well into 2023 and beyond. Keep in mind that PLS has had a good run of late and may experience a retrace at some point (buying opportunity) before it continues its run - presuming no broader market 'Black Swan' event.
LTR is an explorer with no operating mines to take advantage of said sweet spot. It had a good run before experiencing a retrace, but still a long and bumpy ride, even before the difficult and risky job of financing, building a mine, commissioning and ramp-up to name plate - so a lot of risk IMO.
