this quarter, um, has been a significant, uh, significant for the company and, and prices have come in a much, much stronger financial positions, uh, then, then we were, uh, at the start of the quarter. The, the only… the, the one downside to inaudible for the quarter, uh, from a financial point of view is, is, is the intermittent operating costs. So the inaudible operating costs clearly had been impacted by the charging operating environment that we, that we faced during the quarter. Um, and was US 5 to 97 per ton, um, which was, which was about an US 140 per ton higher than the unit operating costs for the September quarter. So that increase of $142, about 56 US, US 56 of that really relates to royalties. So obviously it's the, uh, selling price environment is, is, is going up. Um, we are paying a much higher royalty, so that $56 of that increase remains solely true to the fact that we are having to pay higher royalties as the result of receiving a high selling price. The remain $86, um, is really attributable to the fact that we're generating lower levels of inaudible and inaudible production. inaudible, um, alluded to really was, as a result of trying to shut down to facilitate the tying of the Pine improvement project inaudible. We have inaudible, um, the maintenance and equipment issues that needed to be rectified. We also have with a, with a lower recovery as I mentioned, this is right… really due to the fact the, the, the inaudible been presented to the platform ordinance as optimum as it, as it should be. And then we were also impacted by the fact that there's just a lack of mining production and maintenance personnel in, in the market which, which impacts, uh, how the operations, um, gets, gets run. Now, if I think about those top increases, um, you know, they are I think, unique to the challenges that we're currently facing. I don't think they are necessarily something which is going to be a permanent increase. And other than the, the higher inaudible which are inaudible, my expectation is as we, as we achieve these type productions from the operations that those types will come back to, to the levels that we are prior to previously. As, uh, as Dale mentioned, um, before, we are currently undertaking a review of, of our production and, and whether we need to revise our production guidance and if there is any impact of that production guidance on unit costs and inaudible, we will automatically be making a disclosure at the same time in, uh, it might inaudible when we, when we have released our half year accounts. So I think that, uh, that's everything I, I wanted to go through. So Ken and Mike, I'll hand it back to you. Yes, thank you Brian. Thank you, Dale. Um, a bit more commentary about the market and, in particular, uh, apologies in advance for delving into a little bit of detail about a pricing environment that I think is particularly important to, to explain how that works so that you have a greater understanding of the opportunities that the current market represents. Um, obviously given my inaudible has got to, there is a growing disconnect between available supply, uh, and urging demand. Urging demands driven by, you know, all those being that represent opportunity in electrifying the global economy but inaudible are now key to that, but hence the gross in demand. On the supply side, um, without wanting to put words in other producers mouths, I don't think their experience is necessarily any different to Pilgrim Minerals. It is tough to bring on additional capacity in an environment where you were previously being punished. Very low passing environment has meant that, that every producer has slowed down. Um, so I think it's highly likely, um, that, that on the supply side there will be challenges and it's probably the case that there's a supplier inaudible already been over stages. Um, so it's against that, that challenging environment that the inaudible is, is surging. And, um, and it's, and it's kind of perverse, but for the very same reason that Pilgrim Minerals had a challenging production quarter, you are likely to see pricing increase because the supply response is insufficient. I hope that makes sense. On pricing itself, and delving into a little bit of the detail, Flex reported China domestic pricing in battery grade lithium carbonate of 386,000 yen per metro ton, lithium carbon equivalent basis. So that's over USD $60,000 US dollars a ton in China. Now people will tend to want to dispute that price because they… It's, it's, I think somewhat unfairly described as a spot price. But what's actually been discovered in that price survey, is the real price being paid by the same relationship by a long time seller and a long term buyer who are constantly renegotiating the price and volume. So what it is, so what I think it represents is the real price of the chemical conversion industry inaudible in China. R- you know, baring in mind that China is the world's largest lithium raw materials market. And I think all the evidence points to that price being a real price because it's also driving an international pricing, which typically has longer dated contract. But international pricing, um, is already approaching 50,000 US dollars a ton, so… So for those that want to characterize it as a spot price, I think that's a little bit of a misrepresentation. It is the price that the chemical conversion industry receives. But why is that important? This is where the spodumene supply base, um, ultimately, uh, has it stay in the front. And I think Pilgrim Minerals is particularly well placed inaudible in that pricing environment. What inaudible is, is a chemical converter. It's receiving 60,000 or over $60,000 USD per tons for there, for their battery grade carbon. If you deduct the VAT and you deduct the cost of chemical conversion, they have approximately $50,000 left to spend on their raw materials. $50,000 left to spend on their raw materials of which spodumene is obviously a key component. What that means is, that the chemical conversion industry can pay a lot more for spodumene, and in my view, they likely will. Because there is no alternative. They'd already have chemical conversion capacity, of which there is inaudible in China, but there is insufficient spodumene to backfill the chemical conversion capacity. The net effect of all that, is that they will pass their margin upstream. Which means spodumene pricing is already very strong, but in my view likely to get stronger. And I know everyone thinks that sounds like a pretty extraordinary scenario, but have a think about this. It's not iron ore. Spodumene and it's derivative chemicals are part of an industrial mineral supply chain turning into a specialty chemical supply chain for which most suppliers will already be contractually bound. They are contractually bound to sell chemicals to a inaudible materials player, or, or a spell maker, maybe in China but equally probably
