 Today I have the distinct pleasure of speaking with George Putnam from Scandium International. How are you today? Good afternoon, Tracy. I'm fine. George, as you know, investor intel is always following issues of sustainability. So we love Scandium International, and I'd love you just to comment on the China-U.S. trade debate. Let's call it that right now. How it might affect Scandium? Well, in a way it's not going to affect Scandium at all, because our project is in Australia. It's an OECD country, and we're quite apart from that. That those trade discussions, except to say that we'll probably benefit from it significantly if there is more serious issue and embargoing materials between China and the U.S., because we're apart from it. We are a reliable source from a reliable location. Well, thank you. That's exactly what I was assuming might be the case with what's happening. Everyone's looking right now. George, as you know, at rarest, they're looking at uranium, but they need to get Scandium on their dashboard. And with you being one of the world's first primary Scandium minds to be built, can you give us an update on what's happening with Scandium International, including an update on what's happening with your 2017 mine lease? Right. Well, interesting you had asked that question. I was in Australia just last week talking with the New South Wales Department about getting a resolution on this point. And I think we are well on the right path to getting a mine lease reissued over this property and over the ground that we own specifically. And I see that mine lease coming into our hands relatively quickly now, perhaps as early as later this month. So that issue is going to quickly be solved and settled, which turns us, of course, back to the critical issue of finding customers. And that's the task at hand, and that's what we're looking forward to getting back to and focusing on. OK, so let me back you up. Just as an interested shareholder at Scandium International, the news that we're waiting for on the clarification on the mining lease is anticipated in the next month. Is that correct? Yeah, I can't say for sure because there are government signatures involved. But it's looking good for a resolution that would allow us to go forward and build this project pretty much exactly the same as it sits in our feasibility study. And I know that you have made reference to customers. You just did in this interview. What's happening? How will this impact your offtake agreements and what's going on in that particular front with customers, of course? Well, honestly, the mine lease issue has been, it hasn't been a sideline issue, but it hasn't affected our discussions with customers. It hasn't slowed us down there. We have two key letters of LOIs with customers. And they are deep in a technical evaluation of Scandium in their products. We're looking to turn the corner with both of these potential customers, I believe in the next one to two quarters. And with that, there'll be clear value proposition for Scandium for each of them. So for everybody out there who's watching what's happening between, of course, the U.S. and China and we're looking for sustainable critical material resources, we'll all be watching you, Scandium International. And can you tell us what we as shareholders should anticipate, say this next quarter or two, in addition, obviously, to the items you've mentioned? Sure. Well, as a recap, I would say we want to solve our mine lease issue definitively and we want to solve it quickly. And so shareholders should expect that that comes and that comes soon. We're looking to have, as I mentioned, a full technical success with a couple of our LOI partners. We're looking to add more potential customer partners in the form of LOIs in the remainder of this year. We did eight of those last year. We did one more this year. It means I have seven to go this year to match what we did last year. There will probably be more in the casting space because those folks are very much self-sufficient and we like that in particular. You haven't seen quite so much of that as we think there is potential in the second half of this year. Well, speaking of potential as one of the world's top Scandium experts, what should we expect with, say, the Scandium price and demand? Do you have any updates that you can provide some of us investors with? The pricing is actually in a little bit of a downtrend, which I think is not a bad thing. It reflects the fact that the Chinese are making more Scandium now than they did in the past, which I also think is a good thing. The market is not short of Scandium now for testing, and we like that. That's a real positive. Depending upon what happens in trade talks between the United States and China, there could be some disruption of Chinese sources of Scandium, and I think that's going to be a good thing for Scandium International. It's going to highlight the fact that we are the earliest possible producer outside of China in the Australian Clay Belt. We're of a good size and commercial size and scale to offer Scandium to waiting global markets outside of the disruptions that are apparently going to be caused by this trade dispute with the US. Well, as always, George, thank you so much for the update. It's a real pleasure to get an update from Scandium International. It's been my pleasure, Tracy. Thank you.
