The company is primarily focused on lithium exploration but has recently acquired a copper project and is excited about the potential of rubidium as well. The outlook for lithium remains positive despite recent price fluctuations, with increasing demand driven by the shift towards electric vehicles and clean energy solutions. Copper is also expected to see high demand in the coming years, with significant growth targets requiring unprecedented levels of production. International Lithium Corp is planning to continue exploration and development efforts in Canada, Zimbabwe, and potentially expand into new projects to capitalize on the growing demand for battery metals. BEST MOMENTS "Lithium is a very key component of almost all the battery technologies at the moment."  "Rubidium prices have consistently been around a million dollars a ton in the last few years."  "Zimbabwe is number six in terms of world production of lithium at this point."  "We recently did a survey of 20 mining stocks in Canada, and every lithium-related company has gone down."
