    Curious to know how you prefer brine over hard rock, even though you point out yourself that the CAPEX, start up time and the OPEX (something you left out) are all lower than the brine producers.

    You've also left off the fact that the hard rocks will generally produce a better and cleaner product, enabling it to not only beat out brine sources when it comes to purity, but also offering some of these hard rock producers the opportunity to sell near 7% spodumene for chemical/technical uses.

    But yeah, back to my question, i'm not sure how you see hard rocks to be cheaper/faster yet you prefer the brines???

    Cheers,
    Andy
