That leaves a lot of cash available for Cauchari or Stage3. AAL website indicates the Cauchari feasibility study being delivered in the next quarter for a 401m USD 20ktpa. Subject to permits, funding, and off take arrangements, it could be under construction before the first carbonate is coming off the Stage 2 line. It is going to be a very busy couple of years.
