Well, there's a difference with lithium.

Uh and I want to be very clear.

With lithium, there is ore deposits discovered of lithium.

It's like all the rare earths.

We get this we get this notion that the rare earths are are like not available.

That's not true.

Rare earths are actually all over the United States.

There's huge deposits of rare earths in the United States.

The problem with rare earths and the problem with lithium is the processing of it.

It's either regulated out, takes too long, or is too expensive to be cost effective in the United States.

Platinum has a different problem, which is is it unavailable?

So, like we're convoluting two different steps of the mining process when we talk about a lot about these materials.

It's six elements are the you know, you've heard of probably platinum.

Maybe you heard of iridium and palladium.

You might have heard of rhodium, you've probably never heard of ruthinium, and you've probably never heard of osmium.
