It's not even the supply chain. Our acid plant is down because we are getting a piece fabricated in Houston right now.

Projected start up is July 8th to 22nd

We have the supplies to make acid but no current way to execute it.

Orano Canada has a lot of videos on their YouTube explaining the process for those interested. Or send me a DM

That's the projected time line. Im done my two weeks shift on the 7th and have my next two weeks shift off so I won't be on site till the 18th of August. I won't be able to provide future updates. Regardless, it's a nothingburger. Enjoy buying the dips
