2、calable minerology for raw material feedstock.FAILURE POINT FAILURE POINT-Narrow minerology requirements for raw material severely limits geographic sourcing,prevents scaling and adds substantial transportation cost.Greenfield mines Greenfield mines required.required.FAILURE POINT FAILURE POINT Raw
3、material sourcing requiring new mines adds substantial CAPEX(50-100M),increased deployment timelines(10-20 years),and adds substantial risk to the project.Permitting new mines is difficult and entails long timelines.Manageable YieldManageable Yield.FAILURE POINT ONE FAILURE POINT ONE Ratio of raw ma
