Thank you.

Ms. Kelleher, I have a quick question. I believe you're the appropriate person to ask. I understand that in the production of lithium batteries for e-vehicles, the production of the cathode produces about 80% waste in tailings, which goes into landfills.

Can you confirm whether that's the case?
