With all the talk about a strategic partner I totally forgot about the final DFS. I'm curious when this will be realised (at the same time as the partner perhaps, or sooner). 

Last i heard LAC was retooling the DFS to optimize the process and also meet the material demands of potential partners. 

While I dont think its release will be as powerful a catalyst to raise the SP as a strat partner announcement, I imagine it would still create a positive impact. And be another stepping stone. 

Regarding stepping stones in advancing the SP, does anyone have any idea when we might expect the local approvals to be granted for TP?
