Found this link to a "The Australian" article in the MIN forum. The article was published back in November last year.
I found the list of potential suitors back then interesting considering that none of these was the eventual winner. ALB clearly came over the top in the bidding to nab 50% of Wodgina.
Mitsui apparently was a contender. Mitsui currently has an MOU with KDR for any extra concentrate that is not allocated for the converter plant from KDR's share.
You would have to assume that all these parties still have eyes on obtaining a WA asset. Not certain though that SQM would like any of these candidates as partners though for Mt Holland.
