There’s nothing quite like confirmation that the drill rig has been booked for a maiden drilling campaign to get the gold bulls sniffing around.

In the Lithium business it can be very profitable to own a mine, however, turning that Lithium into battery grade chemicals, commonly known as downstream processing, can be even more lucrative. Market darling Pilbara Minerals have given a hint of their medium term strategy after signing an MOU to move into the Lithium downstream processing business with the Chinese.
