KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"Undoubtedly large resource and really our focus since that time has been around the metallurgy, but We've only, we've only drilled out about 25% of the resource."
"Mother Nature has kind of done the cracking for us. So if you go to Linus and you're talking about a thousand degrees C cracking circuit, there's no need for that."
"Wyoming, for your listeners who may not be familiar, is probably the biggest extractive kind of mining state in the U.S."
"I think it's not too dissimilar from lithium cobalt, copper, nickel, where you're starting to see a little bit of recovery in copper these past few weeks and it's undoubtedly linked to macroeconomic factors."
