Cornwall is probably better off without having large scale mining operation running there anyway.Comment

Originally posted by AtW View PostThey are not "readily available" and if competition is of "higher grade" then this lower grade stuff won't fetch a premium and will have to be very cheap in order to stay competitive, is that even possible with UK level of taxes/employment laws? Unlikely.
This week MetAmpere, the first company to drill lithium exploration holes in the UK, described their test results from Cornwall as “staggeringly good”.
Having successfully completed 6 exploration drill holes at the site near St Austell, MetAmpere’s laboratory analysis of that drilling revealed over 200 metres of continuous lithium mineralisation from the surface.
In the end, several hundred million tonnes could be extracted from the site. The initial project is to build a quarry and processing plant capable of producing 20,000 tonnes of the highly sought-after metal each year – sufficient to power a whopping 350,000 electric vehicles.Originally posted by AtW View Post

Does this chart look to you as the one for a commodity that is in short supply?
In 3 years the price dropped 4 times! The world needs more of this stuff but only at much lower price points.
If Cornwall was in China then (maybe, if the lower grade is not a show stopper) it would have worked (just like coal there).Comment

Even if they make a half-hearted attempt at it the price of Lithium is going to soar. If you have a ready supply of it then you are going to be in a strong position.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment
