Craig Austin's "Wrap Up" in that article was certainly interesting.  Hyperbole vs "It Could Happen".. only time will tell:

"Lithium Americas Wrap-Up

The management team at Lithium Americas is working to bring two mines to production. Even more impressive, they invested in Arena Minerals (OTCPK:AMRZF) and are looking for new lithium properties. While this seems minor it gives us a clue about how aggressive the management is concerning lithium. They are not simply content to open one or two mines, rather I think they want to grow and become a true lithium powerhouse with ambitions that might rival Ganfeng Lithium (GNENF) whom they are currently in a joint venture with."

Bold type and italics added by me for emphasis.  Who knows?  It could happen.

I like the sound of that:  LAC becoming "a true lithium powerhouse"!!
