  , the Company announced that it has elected to introduce a phased approach in the PFS currently being prepared by the Company through the advancement of a mine and mill development to initially produce premium spodumene concentrates in Phase 1. The Phase 2 plan would increase mine and mill production to feed a downstream refinery to produce lithium chemicals for the energy storage and electric vehicle battery market.
• Due to the proposed phase approach abovementioned and delays on receiving the assay results from the recent Phase XII drill program, the Company anticipates that the PFS will be completed in Spring of 2023.
