re: Diving deeper on Standard Lithium?

I'm still not sure how these leasing "territories" work. Like, oil/gas companies can run around and outbid one another for leases, as long as the royalty offered is higher than the state minimum of 12.5%. Why isn't the AOGC setting the lithium minimum at 2% and letting brine/lithium producers try to outbid one another? Not that I would want that for SLI (pre-Equinor), just wondering why that isn't the structure
