RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:federal $Ok, I'll bite and argue that one - Look at what Metso does in the lithium space - you guessed it, build and maintain plants. Why would a comany with a 7.5B maket cap pay someone interest to fund the building of their own plant? Not likely - look what other lithium players have done (Stellantis/vw)and been succesful at. If they commit to 700M, the ask from Goverment would be 300M? ( conventiently similar to their ask according to Nick69). I'm not pulling this out of my a** Red_Deer, pretty clear what path they are on.
