Michael Blankenship: When you're kind of looking at vertical integration in West Texas, um, lots of development out there in West Texas, it looks like. And what parts of the process do you plan to keep on site?
Ranjeet Sundher: First of all, we love West Texas. I've worked on some very challenging jurisdictions internationally, and it's great to be in the US of a, our plan is mine to magnet.
That's, that's the ecosystem we're fitting into. We wanna do as much as we can in the US and as much as we can in Texas. Onsite. We're creating and procuring our materials, our tailings, what we're going to process. We intend to prep that feedstock onsite and direct leach that feedstock on site. It is also our intention to produce the mixed hydroxides within the state.
We want to keep as much of what we're doing within the USA and the state of Texas as possible.
