Yeah, I mean, we do have a lot of rare earths in here as well.

We don't recover them in our first plant, but there is a plan to recover them.

And of course, there are

A lot of the cobalt and, of course, copper is used in that entire AI space extensively, will be used a lot.

And so yes is the answer.

I just want to go back to that shipbuilding because one of the exciting things about some of these industries is that...

When China started taking these industries away from the US and other countries They had a big workforce, you know farmers were becoming Non farmers or peasants We're looking for other industry jobs to move into and so they were happy to to use a very available cheap abundant labor force and

But of course, a lot of things have happened since then in the automation space.

And the shipbuilding industry is a really good one to look at.

If you look at what

Hanwha and Hyundai and you know the the other Korean shipbuilders have done is they bought a lot of automation into those industries where And the same is going to be on metal processing.

You know that that now with automation you can take some of the dangerous jobs away and

What you end up doing is just generating a lot of GDP for local economies.

So there's a lot of direct jobs But there's an enormous amount of indirect jobs that come as a result as well but it also it's It means that you can compete because You're not having to compete with You know a hundred thousand

almost free labor force, you're actually competing on a technology basis.

And once again, China have been amazing at building and deploying technology at a rapid rate.

But the West and America are starting to recognize the need to do that.

And when it comes to, certainly, critical minerals, they've made it very clear that they're going to make the capital available to encourage and entice.

They're in many metals other than zinc, but they have a rich, long history.

And outside of China, they're one of the only companies that can produce the pecan materials using their own technology.
