Absolutly correct.  The electric auto industry either will be the boom or the bust of pretty much global growth of economies as these companies are going to place demand on minerals and logistics that will inspire the growth and as well pay back for the supply with very great economies. That or the ore will set and rot right in the ground where it is right now.  Struggle for control like the shutdown of Financial operations to support mineral sector in 2010/11.  That is the deterrance even now as it is the manageratorial hangover from the tight fisted treatment of Jr mining needs till now.  Meaning if we are damned to be financed and legally permitted to mine and supply then that that great economy will not occur.  MONEY OPERATORS are in fact looking to chop slash and burn out all intermediaries that are betting to get into the supply side of the MINING BIZZ.  Agin IMO when we can barnstorm that sector the Financial sector then we will see the Jrs enter the new era of putting their shovels back into the dirt in expectation of the "NEW CAR ERA" / electric cars that will eithe have the supply or go broke looking for the needed metals to support their growth.  PS: the phoney kryptos are biting into this "void" to suck up just free mkt cash which would IMO be flowing to the minerals sector,,All In My Humble Opinion.  Just my opinion exclusively.  Simple CASH to Jr miners, GOLD backs USD, Electric cars get built economy explodes, entoto!
