lol phantom... you do realize that there are 1.4 billion people in China and they have a tad more than 17 cities in total? 60 million is a little over 4% of the population! Are you forgetting that China controls most of the rare earth's, without which lithium can only be used as a medical drug. Or, by bidding war did you mean for salvage value... lol

lmao @ TFSA. NMX is far from being sold for salvage. It is not just up for sale but for investors to JV or a % of the produce to complete the construction. Just wait, the coronavirus is far from done and everyone will be leery with anything coming out of China for now, hence they want to make sure a produce will not have a holdup because workers are quarantined or sick.

Hong Kong has 14 cases and 2400 medical workers went on strike because they’re not closing enough borders. Now the CDC is saying this virus is a cousin of the SARS virus that comes from bats.

TeddyB I think you'll find China does dominate the Lithium market https://www.ft.com/content/455fe41c-7185-11e9-bf5c-6eeb837566c5
