Great and all, but this is a literal press release. It could be PR spruiking, it could be pump’n’dump play, it could be friggin genuinely great. No way to know from a press release.
Sodium ion batteries are already a thing. It’s coming for sure. Either this or some other company. But we need it.
It’s always great when not depending by other countries I guess, specially when they are bloody dictatorships
Now i know Australia has been having some trouble with conservatives recently and is overrun with emus, but i’m not sure the entire country counts as a bloody dictatorship yet.
We have the raw materials in Australia but not the capability to process them.
Nothing stopping you from investing in moving up the value chain except a lack of government interest in doing so.

Wow 🤣… you guys are fun 🤣.
Wow, you learn something new every day 👍.
WTF 🤣🤣🤣, seriously 🤣?
@0x4E4F Yeah, see the Wikipedia article about “Metallicity”.
Go look up mineral in a dictionary… it literally means anything solid that’s not “organic”.
So yeah iron and sodium (salt) are absolutely minerals and so is ice.
So, minerals are then divided in subcategories, like metals, right?
