No one is going to ship lithium ores overseas or down highways to a processing plant, regardless of what the property owner imagines. That burns a lot of diesel

No one is going to ship lithium ores overseas or down highways to a processing plant, regardless of what the property owner imagines. That burns a lot of diesel and costs a lot of money to move a product that’s over 90% unwanted dirt. The economics aren’t there. Purification on site is much more efficient. If they can’t purify it in Maine they’ll mine it somewhere else.
