All IMO.
The best Tier 1, relates to the guarantee of supply, not the margin.

Because even if there is a greater margin on offer, but risk of a fatal flaw, a game stopper, eg. nationalistic, or regional conflict etc, that means KAPUT.

The best horse, is the horse that can run laps around the track. Not one that runs a course over the mine fields.

The deal for LRS, come fatal flaw in PLS, turns to dust in their PLS earnings, and potential Brazil follows.
That is why it is also a crap deal for LRS, they are taking on all the risk which PLS has. And reasons why PLS need to diversify.

Canada, we have the potential cheap hydro, a significant part of operating costs.
And a pro green EV view.
I heard also that the liberal front runner in the canada elections, Pierre Poilievre in an address a month or two ago, was saying that he wants to cut the approvals time frames significantly for mining developers.
