The govt wants this to succeed.
Thats the reason they have done such an auction. They wanted the other companies not to influence things, i believe. Say is fresh blood and on the ball. I think between securing this world class in the Abitibi, Say became a tax income and employment advancer to Can advantage.
With experience of Pied, and alliance w US, and Pied having spent big bucks to bring North Carolina process plant , to green expectations in this admin, all great feet in the doors. To say nothing that pied has 5 yr contract set up , working w and supplying the Only lith kind of lith, that T will use , for safety and other reasons, Tesla, how good does it get that (Say is shipping that same ore to North Carolina.?? To Pied processing plant?? )I am not sure where we are in that process, but know i heard that is the arrangement.
So, also, I know Tesla is hot to keep its reputation sparkling. They make a huge investment in investigating allllll angles of a prospective supplier. The suppliers have many hoops to be lily white. The govt of Can knows that pied partnering w Say is like a mark of shared excellence as pied passed T muster, and is well partnered w Pied and influences of Pied, and deep experience and reputation of Pied.
And approvable. Plus, we got very amenable to First Nations, so fast. Its hard to make all the parts work once Say got the full expectations locked in.
Plus brine style processing is super against water supplies ( environmentalyy bad) and not economically sound when compared to NAL technology. Anything else? Yes. I do not worry so much about comp economics as we have the pounds in the ground and willing admin. No doubt we will make our fair share of errors but will T not give advisement and hidden demands , if you will, influencing our and Piedmonts growth and development? Yes. The wheels will not come off, all imo. Too many partnerships to comply with. And anyone we decide to partner with, they have to be lily white from first inspection. Just saying….. GL
