What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20
Track; not yet
- Why
- Strong de-risking signal (>95% recovery at 1M-barrel scale, positive DFS, DOE-backed, first 10-year offtake signed) but value is contingent on a not-yet-made FID and 2028 first production; the technology is real but the commercial outcome is still forward-looking.
- Next
- Monitor the FID decision (targeted 2026), completion of offtake commitments (~80% of nameplate needed), and DOE $225M award drawdown; re-evaluate when EPC construction begins and first commercial Li2CO3 is produced
