I may have misunderstood something, but isn't it correct that Lac has actually already built a development center, pilot production, and a lot of other measures on the Thacker Pass project?

If it is still correct Evans must be pretty sure we will be approved in some form.

Based on this, it is my opinion that the delay in announcement means that work is being done on setting up a working group that caters to all parties, and follows the project on an ongoing basis to ensure the environment. This will actually also be a pretty good idea, which in the long run can really make it a future-proof project. It may well cost a little on the bottom line, but I would like to pay that to be part of something that sends new technology to EV transformation and at the same time safeguards the environment.

If I'm right, I'd like to wait a little longer. Du do it.

And let's hope the crisis stops and the war ends so we see some positivity in general.
