The Good, the Bad and the Ugly1. Looking forward to a pilot plant is a loser game, a pilot plant is a small bump on the road. Surely it will work but that will not have a big impact on SP. 2. We should be marketing the resource aggressively, as has been suggested here by others, problem is we have no active President to carry that torch. So we sit on that most important front, no one is traveling to Asia or to Germany to meet lithium consumers. 3. Competition is increasing everyday, a new discovery at 2000ppm in AZ for example. Hopefully it is small, time will tell. 4. We have a huge, slab-like deposit in a basin with the only active mine in the US, that's the good! And the overall industry continues to slope upwards. That's obviously good as well. But if we are going to play, we need some luck is all, or more luck than we have already had. 5. We need a dynamic, active, tireless president right now and for a long time to come, this is going to take awhile. Time is a wasting. Lets see what fall brings. Bob
