Thanks WB-DT, WOW!!! And reading this:

"...State assistance will have a profound impact on Lithium Nevada's ability to secure necessary financing expeditiously. Thacker Pass is a $1 billion project through two phases. Lithium Nevada is currently in the process of completing a Definitive Feasibility Study that will delineate the capital and operational expenses. In the meantime, we have had preliminary discussions with potential partners to finance the project. Solidifying support from the state will accelerate our ability to bring on a partner and begin construction once all permitting is completed, which we anticipate will occur early next year."

 Obviously partners already there , LAC is in a driver seat.
