Post-tax NPV of CAD$215 million and a Post-tax IRR of 32.7% p.a. based on current spodumene prices, and based on lithium resource only and not yet the rubidium resource.

At the market price on 2026-01-08 of US$ 1,800 per tonne (CAD$2,498.40), this gives a Post-tax NPV of CAD$215 million and a Post-tax IRR of 32.7% p.a.
