re: Diving deeper on Standard Lithium?

He looks pretty well accomplished..

"Barman to Lead a Dedicated Team Responsible for Closing Ongoing Off-Take Arrangements, Project Financing and Project-Level Investments"

I have trouble believing that someone with his level of experience would board a sinking ship. So hopefully this is a positive sign

Yes, they did own several million shares some time ago.
I believe Tetra sold their entire stake and can’t recall what Lanxess did with theirs. That’s the extent of my knowledge

We are linked to the broader market it seems.

There's been several opinion pieces out this week about the SLI and the lithium segment being oversold. But until we get some big news regarding development or partnerships, SLI is stuck in the horse latitudes.

Oh wow, didn’t see that yesterday. The shorts who have my shares on loan can’t be happy about that. It’s also up more than LAC and other lithium companies.

Would not be shocked if something happens between Albermarle/Koch/SLI. SLI gives zero shits if Lanxess backs out and, IMO, would prefer that. Albermarle is the big swinging dick in the lithium world and has no intent on allowing Exxon to get a strong foothold.

Best thing for both parties would be to join forces and resources to squash any competitors. They have the wells and infrastructure already in place. Albermarle has the resources, along with Koch, to take on an Exxon. Makes sense for them to work together and take the whole pot.

There really needs to be a short commercial showing the water coming out of the tail brine in a translucent tube, then a quick glossover of the line, and a good shot of the lithium coming out of the process and a final shot of the water being injected back into the ground in another translucent tube. This would show the cleanliness of the operation, the speed, and the environmental friendliness of the process. not to mention combat the stigma of the science project concerns. The fact that they haven't capitalized on promoting the positive aspects of their patents is baffling.

Nice! more good news, so we will probably drop like a rock.

Yeh they are totally dissociating from Lanxess. They don't even call it the Lanxess Project or the Lanxess Phase 1A anymore. It's just straight up the "Phase 1A Project".

Guarantee Phase 1B and 2 are not ever happening. 1A will just be a revenue proof of concept - basically a commercial pilot plant.
