RE:RE:RE:RE:Larry is on top of it!There's not too much to report on the pilot plant until it's complete and we see what recovery rates the process is able to obtain. Once this pilot plant is fully operational they will want to run it consistantly to see how it handles the cathode scrap feed and what loads it can process before it requires cleanup and/or maintenance. These are important to know in calculating it's capactity and ability to generate revenue on a regluar basis.
So although the goal is end of May to have it completed they should be running the plant over the next few months to get a better understanding on what a commercial plant will generate in revenue.
If they hit their recovery numbers, what was reached in the bench testing phase, they can take these numbers and go into sales mode with them in hand and visit with each of the major battery cell manufacturers, auto giants, global recyclers, tech titans (Google, Apple, etc) and see what deals can be reached. Let's entertain all offers, JVs, off-takes, licensing, or buyouts. Let's maximize shareholder value and make us all some money, especially the longs.
