The most important part of this NR was the cost per ton $2000 to produce. Any miner who looks at this must be licking their lips right now. If a miner or end user wants this deposit for the higher end market such as LIB average $12000/ton US, knowing the demand is only going to increase, they could be very tempted to make an offer right now.
Anyone who can't see this can't see the forest for the trees.
