RE:RE:RE:RE:Update from Don - Pilot Plant Next...agreed Corvette! And your post made me think of another point I wanted to make...which could substantially reduce the CAPEX. The $482M cost in the PEA includes a whopping $105M to build a sulfuric acid plant (plus 20% contingency) so a total of about $125M.
Yet Global Geosciences and Lithium Americas also have $100M+ in their numbers, EACH, to build an acid production plant. Why on earth would "we" need three bloody sulfuric acid plants within a 40 mile radius in Nevada? Seems like wasted money doesn't it?
Hopefully the three companies will look at this to see if there's opportunity to share costs to built ONE plant serving all three projects (say $50M each for a $150M larger production plant). Then share the OPEX as well once in Production. Or maybe one company build the plant and the other two buy the acid from that company?
This idea may be asking too much from "competitors", but reducing acid plant costs from $125M to $50M (or to $0) would further improve the economics of CYP's project (they're alredy impressive; but let's make them "impressiver"..lol. We'll see.
Either way I'm very excited about the PEA results and CYP's prospects for the future.
