RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Race for battery Ni Well in all honesty since it's been raised... it is a concern and I don't know the answer ( nor do I know if all you say is legit ) but my guess is that Leon knows it as he is the one who said that he wants into battery metals market and I don't think he was referring to everywhere else besides the USA and Canada.
we are selling Ni to someone and that someone (s) could easily be selling to the USA and put themselves at great risk, Sherritt supply chain is huge.
I am pretty sure when in Las Vegas ( pre pandemic) the casinos were offering Cuban cigars probably imported from Canada lol
where there is a will there is a way
the BM market is going to be a huge market if the Americans are serious .... the DRC and cohort China is the option and neither are good so we will have to get creative.
as much as I may like to keep it In NA the reality is that of the 220 or so mega and giga battery plants being built and planned the world over less than 10 that I know of are in the USA ..... the demand for BMs is going tk be huge so there is a market.
In the case of the USA I would never say never
...safe, secure and controllable Canada is thier best option.
