As a technology company, we're developing the methods to make the cathode materials. We source it from any number of different areas. We're not using large volumes of it in our laboratories right now. We are not aiming to be a producer. Rather, we are a technology provider. It would be our customer who would then source large volumes of lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese from various areas.
Primarily, the bulk of the world's lithium is coming out of a central few areas in the world. It's going to be coming out of South America, from Chile and Argentina. There's obviously a lot of lithium coming out of China and Australia as well, and quite possibly Canada, if we can get our lithium production up to the volumes we need. [Technical difficulty—Editor] in terms of where it comes from.
We would prefer to see it coming from Canada. We would prefer to see cathode production happening in Canada. We believe we can make it not only more efficient, but we can also help to drive down some of the costs of converting lithium into a battery-ready material, because our process simplifies the in-between processes.
