RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:ORL should take out LACNope , ORL will never be a threat to FMC , as they use most of their own production being a diversified chemical company , even if and when spun off , the parent company will still buy their lithium from their own lithium divison rather than the open market.
ORL has neither the interest or the capital to buy LAC.
If FMC really wants to expand by aquisition , then LAC would be a much better option , at a lot lower price than ORL with a better proven resource.
Still , I think they will all wait for POSCOs results , because it is the LOW COST producers that will be the biggest threat to any current producers , and low cost will be in the $1400 per ton range or lower , considerably lower than ORLs current cost.
But , as I said , it's all speculation at this point anyway , only news from POSCO will get this turd moving.
