Great and all, but this is a literal press release. It could be PR spruiking, it could be pump’n’dump play, it could be friggin genuinely great. No way to know from a press release.
It’s always great when not depending by other countries I guess, specially when they are bloody dictatorships
Now i know Australia has been having some trouble with conservatives recently and is overrun with emus, but i’m not sure the entire country counts as a bloody dictatorship yet.
@sonori yea, not all suppliers of Lithium and other produce for modern batteries are bloody dictatorships. But sadly the whole world does not rely solely on them.
We have the raw materials in Australia but not the capability to process them.
…and is produced with minerals such as iron and sodium …
Iron is a mineral 🤨?
Go look up mineral in a dictionary… it literally means anything solid that’s not “organic”.
So yeah iron and sodium (salt) are absolutely minerals and so is ice.
