In a general sense you're raising some important points.
On the other side of this is incentive to get this lithium on a boat so the governments, company and downstream users can make money.
I am no expert of development in West Africa however port infrastructure costs money, often funded by the World Bank or governments. They need to use the ports to pay the loans back. Road degradation perhaps, nothing a payment can't fix.
Stable mining jurisdiction is important. Mali is well regarded, see recent Fraser Institute report through Google.
So there are risks but from what I know, without having done a deep dive (relative to my investment) it seems all good. Happy if you find something particularly worrying though and are willing to share.
