RE:RE:RE:tic toc You might be right and the announcement might happen in that time interval. I hope it does.
But to be clear Eric never gave a date or specified when a deal would be made or announced. That would be pretty unrealistic and kind of stupid. How could he possibly know how long negotiations could go on for. In an industry that's in complete flux and global economies that are in complete flux and interest rates that are always uncertain not to mention the lithium price has not recovered nearly to the extent that people were hoping or speculating back in February. So I think you're taking that few word a little too literally . Now we have the new wrinkle of a trade war with China and whatever the hell that will mean.
He did say it will be shovel already in the summer. He also said that they hope to be turning soil before the snow flies. But she'll already doesn't mean the shovels are actually working. It just means everything is ready. Still need money. Still need FID.
Some things they can control some things they cannot.
