RE:This thing is at the top of a former glacier
"Jervois anticipates that weather conditions will have a significant influence on winter construction plans."
A lot of us have been here before. It always starts with the "winter delay excuse". Everybody is getting excited because Cobalt ticked up. Well.... that is cobalt. It goes up, but then it crashes. It is most definetely going to crash, and crash hard (LFP batteries, Solid state, 4860, etc). The U.S. has sworn off cobalt completely in there medium and long term plans, and China has already done the same. As prices go up, and instability sets in, all EV makers will be ditching cobalt.
This winter delay will in all likelyhood push us from 2022 to 2023. And the candle continues to burn.
