So the current mines are at 100% theoretical capacity and there's no more places in the globe that could be used to open new mines, and you're saying in spite of the constantly growing demand over the last couple decades, nations across the globe haven't been looking for economical sources to open new mines? I don't know much about the industry, but that sounds pretty unlikely to me, though besides child labor horrors, the only info I can find on new mines is that the US just opened it's first one in 2022
