What's not to like there, Jet? Great article!
LAC's Thacker Pass project is going to be very profitable, producing a lot of Li cheaply and quickly (the best of both worlds) and featuring:
* less than 24 hour process to obtain battery grade Li (ridiculously quick production time, particularly when compared to brine process);
* 46 year operating life;
* 2 phases: first 30 tpa and then 60 tpa from an open pit mine (inexpensive, no mine shafts, no digging);
* streamlined/accelerated permitting because of POTUS prudent Executive Order deeming Li one of 35 metals critical to U.S. economy/security;
* only 21 months to completion of Phase 1, with production set for 2022; and, lest we forget:
* located a stone's throw away from our friendly, neighborhood giga-factory.
What a well-conceived operational plan! With Ganfeng and others no doubt happy to get in on providing financing, I don't see how it gets any better than this!!
