Robin Brundle, Technology Minerals’ Executive Chairman, talks with Proactive's Katie Pilbeam about the permit award at Tipton

Robin Brundle, Technology Minerals’ Executive Chairman, talks about the permit award at Tipton in the West Midlands, its application for a lithium-ion licence, and prospects in the US. At Tipton, the permit means all other sub-licences such as transporting, exports and processing can now fall into place, Brundle says. Bluebird Metals buying a 10% stake in its Idaho projects, meanwhile, validates the business model for all the other assets, he adds.
