A: Hey, Max, it's Andrew Robinson here. That was principally based on feedback from the off-take community. The general guidance was very much towards a preference for a carbonate product in the timeline that were contemplating for commercial production. So in that late '27, '28 period for initial production, the feedback was very much for a carbonate product. And so that really informed the switch in the flowsheet.\nQ: For the DOE award, assuming the final negotiations are successful, could a potential administration change in the US put the receipt of the award at risk? A: This is David Park. Yes, theoretically well, first, the award of the money for the DOE grant has been allocated by the U.S. government. So if the terms and conditions are not finalized prior to a change in administration, there is a theoretical possibility that it could be at risk. However, we've been told by the DOE as recently as today that they are driving to completion of these grants by the end of December.\nQ: I'm interested in the collaboration with the Equinor team. How does that work in practical terms? A: It's Andrew Robinson. We formed a true joint venture. The projects are run on an integrated project management team basis, with a project team made up of Standard Lithium and Equinor personnel working together. Equinor brings strengths in subsurface drilling, reservoir engineering, well completions, and project management disciplines. The teams communicate on an hourly basis as the projects progress.\nQ: Regarding the additional well sampling and drilling, what are you looking to identify from the incremental data? A: For Southwest Arkansas, we are doing confirmatory drilling to ensure the input for the final commercial production model is accurate. In East Texas, we are seeking greater geographic definition and expanding our leasing footprint. We will be stepping out with our drilling in new areas, looking for rock properties, permeability testing, and brine samples for geochemical analysis. We aim to put out a maiden resource statement by mid-2025 and start preliminary economic assessments.\nQ: You mentioned successfully commissioning the column on the demonstration project with Koch technology. Is the license process for that technology complete? A: The license process is currently coming to closure. We have been working together on the technology in a significant and collaborative way, and we hope to conclude the licensing process very quickly.\nFor the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.This article first appeared on \nGuruFocus.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.30.2","shortVersion":"4.30.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2472597034"}
