And now you have to think about, right, I've told you there is already over melting, over capacity in the market. So out of the roughly 200,000 plus metric tons that are being consumed, the melt capacity is, and the U.S. melt has just have added capacity. The melt capacity is beyond 300,000 metric tons. So you already have an excess capacity in a market. If you ask me personally from an investing, investing in a market that has over capacity, you'd really have to pick your company that really stands out. So from my personal opinion, IperionX, where right now, and I think this is what they're good at, they're good at marketing. Personally, I believe, to me it's more a marketing story right now. And that's why I say the risk is will they get their operations and be able to scale. If that, yes, it can be, but I don't really know their internal cost base and also the scalability to get up to 10,000 in a market that has very large established players. TIMET is building a new plant, that is public information and probably adding anywhere between 10 and 15 thousand tons of melt capacity. So they know what they're doing. And even for them, even though they know what they're doing and it's an already established technology, as these large industrial projects, it is hard to scale. So I think with IperionX from an investment perspective also is how can they to secure funding going forward because obviously they have costs and the revenue side, the revenue side is not there. I think these are the risks. So right now I would say it's a very speculative investment and from portfolio theory, you basically know what to do. — Industry Executive in Metals and Alloy Recycling", "attrs": null, "subkind": null, "toolName": "Authority citation", "toolSlug": "authority-citation", "confidence": null, "componentId": "019dd952-f5d0-745c-beae-aeb8d2fa01c7", "frameworkName": null, "frameworkSlug": null }, { "bbox": { "h": 0.03, "w": 0.68, "x": 0.02, "y": 0.97 }, "kind": "source-note", "text": "Source: Spruce Point research interview.
