There are alot of items to put in place and move forward before DAY 1 of construction.
Hiring cannot be done last minute. We are seeing that now and other things that we are not making the news are equipment ordering and purchasing. This too cannot materialize with the turn of a key.
So on this board, as we discuss and anticipate the signing of a deal with a partner for financing the best part of the capex, management know what has to be in place to fire up end of April beginning of May.
And deforestation and other equipment needed to clear the surface of the proposed mine are not that expensive and we have cash for those now.
The wheels are turning. And these moves show how confident JSL and Co are.
These days Canaccord must be finalizing all the offers to present them in a format that meets the board's criteria. The final choice and decision has to be close in we are now close to a month and a half after permitting.
I am sure that all potential partners have been approched and know our whole story. That includes the last ones that were waiting for permitting to put in a bid.
The lithium market is very competitive, and if you want new supply in 2025 there are not alot of options out there.
