re: Diving deeper on Standard Lithium?

Yeah I specifically asked SLI IR in January if they were anticipating a decision in April, or if April just represents the earliest possible timeframe for such a decision. They said it was their current understanding that the decision was likely in April.

After watching and rewatching the December AOGC hearing I couldn't figure out how they would reconcile their desire to see SLI's agreements with Lanxess and SLI's desire to keep those agreements confidential. Maybe they didn't reconcile those?

Hope it isn't the bigger companies lobbying for a higher royalty than SLI can survive and that they just withdrew so all companies can consolidate an application like you said. I know SLI wanted Lanxess royalty to be unique due to lower lithium grade but last I read in some official comment from Exxon, Exxon wanted one royalty for the whole state.
