I wasn't making any comments in my post around MOUs and what CATL may or may not have with AVZ. I was talking about a direct link to Lithium Plus like a SH in it.
Yes we can speculate. But here is a theory for you. Been a private company that has invested in a number of lithium assets, well the advantage there is a takeover of LithiumPlus by a large lithium player wanting access to a diversified lithium hard rock portfolio of prospective players is a potential way to go for someone as well.
If you look also at one of the links I gave, you will note for the NT project in the project structure Bin Guo - first link page 6) appears to have qualifications in geology or must understand hard rock lithium deposits very well (been listed in that project as the Chief Geological Officer).
