Yep. Cornwall has 'globally significant' lithium deposits. Northern Lithium is testing for lithium brine in Durham & is delighted at the results so far. Dartmoor is within the Plymouth Freeport, so will be essentially unregulated, and the mica in granite is another source of Lithium. Good, innit?
Not the same firm but a very similar name. The Cheshire one is Urenco. The Boris one is entangled with very dubious characters. My point was that the State has no control inside Freeports, which might as well be pirate kingdoms. Urenco has been criticised over safety concerns.
