    Whilst the potential is there the comparison to LPD is somewhat premature.I can tell you now that negotiations have nothing to do with the technology LRS has an option on, of which little is known. They have an option if they fund the process of proving it up from pilot to commercial scale, so actually they don't own anything at the moment, whereas LPD is the developer and owner of the Lmax tech. Lmax has already been proven in a lab scale test plant, extracting 99.8 lithium carbonate with saleable byproducts -sodium silicate, gypsum, potash, now work is now under way to develop a phase 1 pilot plant next year, with phase 2commercial scale scheduled the following year. Little details have been given of the LRS tech. What are the by-products? What percent of lithium extraction? Lab scale pilot plant testing is yet to be undertaken. There's more to it than just the tech, need to be close to the market for the inputs required and also for the sale of the byproduct to be cost effective. LPD has only rocketed in the last 4 weeks due to GXY getting on board and taking a 10% stake in the company as well as a strategic alliance. Yes LRS has great potential but lets not get ahead of ourselves, lets see what happens with the JV talks and the JORC for the Argentina resources, they will be the near term catalysts, we know very little of the lithium extraction tech that they have an option on and it is up to LRS to fund it to prove it up to realise the benefits, that's all along way down the track if it in fact happens at all....LPD's lmax won't even be proven until 2019 when they have a full scale plant operational if it even gets that far at all. LRS option on the tech is nice, but it is just an option contingent on them funding it and proving it up, definitely not a huge bargaining chip in any sort of JV talk, i think their ground is the jewel in the crown for the moment.
