Regarding the low pricing recently,  I believe the Chinese are manipulating the exchange due to their being the purchasor of so much of the carbonate for upgrading etc.  

If we are looking for future catalysts I think the DOE loan approval,  after the split, for sure will put LAC into a completely more advanced category which would attract investment from Funds etc.

Also, two additional futures are the extension of the Thacker Pass potential from 80k per year to 250k per year considering how small the present mine is to the caldera as a whole.  Due to the severe price differential between carbonate and hydroxide Evans at one time suggested LAC might additionally build a Hydroxide plant.  

I am reminded constantly about the Lassonde curve and where we are on it.
