Dear_Gil Playford,_Sec of_State Blinken_is coming to_Chile. Time_to get_off your_bum
and come down to Chile for the first time in your life to show the Secretary of State around... because you can bet he will be here in Chile to talk lithium big time.

Dear_USA Secretary of_State Blinken,_we are_being held_hostage in_Maricunga
Chile by the leftists, commies, overwhelming numbers of queers, scores of flaming bull dykes in Boric's cabinet, indian-extortionists, tree-hugger-extortionists, and a couple of old geezer carryover Franco-era fascist-extortionists against our will https://en.mercopress.com/2022/09/22/us-secretary-of-state-to-visit-chile-in-early-october-and-meet-with-president-boric
Dear Secretary Blinken, we are beaners but we are not dummies, we know JoeBiden is sending you to Chile now to talk freeing up lithium for America... so don't ignore us lithium miners in Maricunga... we are America's future and we all know it as plain as the nose on your face. We Bearing shareholders here will immediately petition our President Gil Playford (ex Union Carbide Top Dog) along with our VP Luis Saenz to meet with you personally in Chile and give you the grand tour of our Maricunga project.
Please rescue us poor lithium miners in Maricunga (who would love to ship 99.5% LCE, low 32% semi-LCE or even raw lithium chloride ore straight to America through the Panama Canal for refining in Tesla's new lithium refinery in Texas) on your upcoming trip to Chile.
Thanking you in advance for your cooperation in this regard,

Leftist_President Fernandez_wants to_declare Argentina's_lithium a StrategicMineral
similar to the Pinochet law in Chile https://miningpress-com.translate.goog/nota/350404/litio-estrategico-la-propuesta-de-nacion-para-el-desarrollo-de-argentina-en-medio-del-auge-de-precios?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp see paragraph 5
It's funny how every grifter/thief/con-artist wants to altruistically "control" lithium now under the laughable pretext of stopping terrorists from building an atomic bomb. Argentinian lithium miners (eg Livent, Ganfeng, LAC) must be sheeting their pants this afternoon seeing all their hard work (and seed money) about to get stolen from them by the Peronist leftists in Argentina. It will be interesting to see how the Argentina's first-in-line numero uno lender IMF "plays this" new power (money) grab by slimy Fernandez next... will they play it as a windfall or a setback?

Dear Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric, you are printing (and borrowing from IMF) too much new money, you instead need to put more people to work with decent paying jobs instead of issuing more food stamps, rent supplements, handouts... you're fast creating a Venezuela II with your leftist/commie bullsheet.
I know lithium mining plays only a small part in the big picture for Chile but may I offer these suggestions to inject another 5,000 miners/constructors into the economy over the next 3 years of your presidential term.
1. Repeal the Pinochet-era Strategic Mineral classification on Lithium. Put the control of lithium back in hands of Congress.
2. Fire that useless talking-head Anti-Mining Minister Marcela Hernando who is fast turning into another disastrous do-nothing Aurora Williams (former mining minister to Michele Bachelet who did absolutely zero for Chile in office for 4 years). Then promote Willy Kracht into the ministerial position if ex-minister Juan Carlos Jobet is not available to resume the position.
3. Reactivate the five 50,000mt LCE export quota licenses which Pinera/Jobet tried to implement in January of this year.
Gabby, these are a few of the many short term fixes possible which should get some of the political heat off your back in 2023... so write back if you want some more suggestions. These suggestions are available at no charge for the office visit and free for you.
The Doctor
Dear_Chilean Deputies,_simply repeal_Strategic Mineral_Classification on_Lithium
it is as simple as that. You will bring lithium into your purvey/control the same as you rule over copper, gold, silver and other mine-able minerals in Chile, you will ram the pointy stick up Pinochet/Ponces/fascists' butts taking them out of supreme control in the lithium industry in one fell swoop, tame the taxation/royalty debacle and put thousands of Chileans back to work in Chile ahead of Russia/Putin blowing you out the water if they get Bolivia's nationwide lithium mining contract.
You can change the constitution now with a 4/7 vote... now is the time to repeal the Strategic Mineral Classification on Lithium and put this mineral back under control of Congress.

Climber18,_what makes_you think_Management doesn't_already have this_plan?
When our October AGM gets inexplicably postponed again (for at least 2 more months, but preferably 12 months) then it will become more than obvious this IS INDEED the new plan by simple avoidance/non-participation and maintenance of the status-quo for possibly the next 3 years. That is our safest position now if we don't want to become indentured slaves in the never-ending CRs (Capital Raises with further dilution) levied by LPI on their poor shareholders in order to keep exorbitant salaries flowing to overpaid top-heavy do-nothing parasites running that company with their front doors open for business barely 25% of the time.

PS, with respect to Bearing trading today and yesterday... clearly Canaccord with RBC's help is shorting the piss out of us slowly gobbling up our "loose" shares for one of their very-stealthy very-smart clients. I thought Canaccord (one of LPI's BFF bestest friends forever) was supposed to be our friend too... but with friends like this, we certainly don't need any enemies?
Today was surprisingly good trading in BRZ shares.
But the course seems to be locked in place.

Boric was more concerned about explaining (ie whitewashing) how his stupido leftists/commies in Chile completely overshot/destroyed the one-year long new constitution rewrite in typical beaner clusterfrocking fashion on September 4, making peace with Israel who he shat upon earlier in the week by denying the credentials of the new Israeli ambassador to Chile, the release of political prisoners in Nicaragua, stopping violence against women in Iran, and taking a tiny obligatory dig against Putin on Russia's terrible war in Ukraine... there was no mention of lithium inside the UN conference chambers contrary to TheGekko's latest horsesheet https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/lpi-the-next-lithium-producer-in-chile.6650218/page-1602?post_id=63804954
Boric is meeting privately with Jacinda Arndern from New Zealand and Emmanuel Macron from France... the very brief mention of lithium is in the PR statement from those two meetings in rented hotel conference rooms. France needs/wants lithium from Chile. Boric does not have any private meetings with focking useless Australians (who could have been pumping LPI-Maricunga to Boric who wisely left the Anti-Mining Minister Marcela Hernando in focking Chile where she belongsthestupidbeach) scheduled in New York... so I would assume Jacinda is going to raise a few questions on lithium to Gabby Boric to feel him out on how much he is going to throttle down (ie choke) private lithium production in Chile in order for her to advise/help her mining constituents back home in New Zealand gauge their new chances in the expanding worldwide lithium market.

Rough translation into Google English
Dear Mommy's Boy Gaby Boric, it has been six months since you have assumed the presidency... I can't think of one new successful thing you have implemented in this new government. Your pension reform plan is a failure. National health care is no improvement over the last administration's plan. Immigration is still undefined/ad-hoc. Everything with you is "we coulda' shoulda' woulda' gonna' do" and you wind up doing nothing. Take lithium for example, it has been 6 months and we still have no idea what the NLC (National Lithium /Company) is or even looks like.
Your whole 4 year term is going to be one big "we coulda' shoulda' woulda' gonna' do this"... you will accomplish nothing in Chile and the whole country is going to suffer.

in a stock swap (eg 0.784 LPI share for 1 Bearing share)
Is this change safe ?
On this post on stockhouse:
https://stockhouse.com/companies/bullboard?symbol=v.brz&postid=34961090
....that LPI's recent private placement increased the number of LPI shares by 44,000,000 shares, or around 12%.
LPI's 57.7% stake in the - in some weeks - new LPI company will be retained.
In my opinion, the number of (new) LPI shares to be issued to BRZ shareholders should also be 12% higher to represent BRZ's 15.6 share in the new LPI company.
The old relationship :
for 1 BRZ shares there are 0.7 LPI shares
would therefore have to be adjusted by 12%: for 1 BRZ share there would then be 0.784 LPI shares.

Lithium could truly become real scarce as soon as 2023.
Elon Musk's new lithium refinery in Texas could be operational in the fourth quarter of 2024. That's impressive... and indeed quite possible under a right-wing pro-business Republican Texas governor like Greg Abbott.

These ozzie scammers are not lithium miners, they have never been lithium insiders/players, they are totally incapable of performing even a basic DeMerger (ref: see Bearing's DeMerger from Lions Bay), they have not talked to any financiers other than those limpdick faggot useless japs at Mitsui going nowhere, they can't even arrange one single basic off-take agreement in a world awash with countless lithium buyers clamoring for lithium, they have secured zero politicians supporting us in Chile (mainly because they are physically never in Chile to talk face-to-face to anyone)... the only thing these low-life ozzies can do occasionally (and momentarily at that) is artificially jack (pump) their share price up (using TheGekko, BushStar, Arcpro, FrankRockefield, et al) and execute a CR (Capital Raise) once or twice a year on the already broken backs on their shareholders. And the last thing we want to do now is become a LPI shareholder in a stock swap (eg 0.784 LPI share for 1 Bearing share) for their constantly-diluted trash and to be sold into the slavery of nonstop constant CRs to support their lazy do-nothing piggishly-fat management.

Donbas_Ukrainian lithium_could be_ripped out_of Putin's hands_by Christmas... let's hope
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/10/ukraine-russia-energy-mineral-wealth/
See paragraph 19 which reads:
Polish-Ukrainian investment company Millstone & Co, for instance, struck a 2021 deal with an Australian mining company for active exploration at two untouched lithium sites (ie in Ukraine). Once the war started, the companies froze those plans, said Millstone managing partner Mykhailo Zhernov. One site — a deposit covered by farmland — now is so close to the front lines that Zhernov remains uncertain whether it is under Ukrainian or Russian control. Initial plans to build a lithium battery factory there have also been shelved.
If any of you are confused over why America has pumped US$18.2B into Ukraine since February then this Washington Post story above should help you understand better the behind-the-scenes desires/plans of Uncle Sam. The Donbas needs good old fashion "American saving by gosh darn".

Dear Bolivia, if Putin is thrown out of Ukraine then he will definitely be coming for your lithium in December on the Uranium One contract to take over all your lithium production... and you can bet on it. Hopefully the Russians will bring some "supporting infrastructure" with them like great restaurants, nightclubs and super whorehouses (with luxury-quality hot showers) when they set up shop near the border with Chile... probably nice and close to the Lithium Chile Inc jobsite in Salar de Coipasa "straddling the Bolivian border"

Note: the son of the Bolivian President Luis Arce is buddy-buddy with the "lead/favored bidder" Uranium One Group out of Russia (see paragraph 13).
President Zelensky is today beginning the first leg of his soon-to-be expanding victory tour for eventually all of Donbas https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62899474 ... that Donbas lithium is going to be owned and mined by Ukraine and new BFF (Best Friend Forever) partner Uncle Sam (ie USA) sure as hell.

Dear President Luis Arce & Evo Morales, bend over... the Russians are coming real hard for you two in December.

Chile_jumps over_Minister of Anti-Mining Marcela Hernando_and offers_tax breaks to_miners
https://www.yahoo.com/now/chile-launches-plan-boost-investment-213323035.html
For key elements in the plan see paragraph 4 which reads:
The plan includes public investment, better access to financing, and promotes private investment through tax benefits. These includes a $500 million tax credit fund for green businesses that have a "high multiplying effect," an extension of a reduced tax rate for small businesses and instant depreciation mechanisms for all of 2023. New copper mining projects will also be exempt for five years from an ad-valorem component that was proposed in a new mining royalty. That would have placed a tax on the value of a mine's production.
Today Monday was Copper miners' day in the sun in Chile.
Let's hope Tuesday is Lithium's miners' day in the sun in Chile... and let's hope Minister of Anti-Mining Marcela Hernando continues to keep her big nose out of the government's new incentive (and Royalty relief) program to get rich Whitey gringos to come back to Chile for some major investment in mining.

Next Constitution Rewrite Convention III 2024 will be drafted by elected convention and not supported by a committee of Experts.
Next Constitution Rewrite Convention IV 2025 will be drafted by reduced elected convention of 12 members and not supported by a committee of Experts.
Next Constitution Rewrite Convention V 2026 will be terminated on the spot by new right-wing government which has thrown mommy's boy Gabby Boric and the cabal of commies/lesbians/queers/misfits in his cabinet out of office in the recent presidential election where the electorate was just plain sick & tired of Boric's empty promises, failures and general time-wasting horsesheet under the guise of trying to get every single person's opinion before finally executing a firm plan.

Very_interesting article_on Automakers_jumping straight_into lithium mining
https://www.metaltechnews.com/story/2022/09/12/critical-minerals-alliances-2022/automakers-move-into-lithium-mining-space/1070.html
I found it interesting the statistic that Tesla's Gigafactory in Nevada (an approximately 30GWh factory) needs 5,000mt of battery grade lithium per year (apparently according to Elon's magic formula) which means our yearly output of 15,200mtpa (assayed at 99.6% purity qualifying as battery grade) would then provide for three of these Tesla Gigafactories (see paragraph 13). At that ratio automakers with enough combined Gigafactories to produce 1,000GWh (or 1TWh) of batteries per year would then need 165,000mtpa of mined battery grade lithium to survive. Let's all repeat this factoid now... and memorize this ratio. Someday when we are talking to some really hot chicks in a bar and the topic of lithium should pop up as in "I drive a $250,000 electric Mercedes Benz powered by lithium batteries and it is parked just outside this pick-up bar (or brothel)" we can then next throw-out this ratio statistic and sound very very smart/cool like we are from the Wharton School of Business..

Chile_Takes a_Second Run_at National Suicide
https://jnews.uk/chile-takes-a-second-run-at-national-suicide/
Well, this is normal... Chile is after all a nation of beaners and made even more difficult by the fact the country is being run by a young "still wet behind the ears" mommy's boy commie-idealist who has never had a real job in his whole life so he mistakenly thinks money grows on trees.

Chilean think-tank says_Codelco pays_more taxes_but extracts less_copper than_private companies
https://www.mining.com/chilean-think-tank-says-codelco-pays-more-taxes-but-extracts-less-copper-than-private-companies/
Dear miner-hating male-hating USA-hating Minister of Anti-Mining Marcela Hernando, is anyone in the new reborn Boric government still stupid enough to believe your asinine idea of getting Codelco (US$32.14 billion in debt) involved in Maricunga lithium? You haveshit for brains and anyone still listening you has the same composition in their heads.

Green hydrogen or lithium
or .... and lithium ?
Does the country need new ideas ?
Lo han llamado “oro verde”, porque no emite gases contaminantes ni durante su proceso de fabricación, ni durante su combustión. Alrededor del planeta, el hidrógeno verde, el que se genera a partir de energías renovables, se ha convertido en la gran promesa para el futuro y Chile no solo no quiere quedarse fuera, sino que está en un lugar privilegiado para producirlo. “El hidrógeno verde es una alternativa real para una transición energética que nos lleve a un futuro más sustentable”, declaró el presidente Gabriel Boric en su primera cuenta pública, en junio de este año, confirmando su intención de seguir con los esfuerzos iniciados durante los dos gobiernos anteriores para aprovechar el potencial de este gas limpio.

"iffyshit" way out on the peripheral enviously looking in.
Note: sometimes the mental imagery of a situation/comparison/metaphor is perfectly clear in my head... but I think it faster than I can write it and some key references/elements get lost in the final telling of the story. My Post 2810 was only half-baked and I just realized it a day later. Sorry.

Dear_Luis Arce_& Evo_Morales, war_crimes criminal_Putin is going_to get hisass
shredded and blown completely out of Ukraine before Christmas https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-major-advance-ukraine-drives-russians-out-of-key-eastern-city-11662807160
and https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-retreats-from-kharkiv-region-after-ukrainian-forces-advanced-2022-9
if Volodymyr Zelensky's new counter offensive keeps up at this amazing spectacular dizzying pace. And Vlad should be flying to the Hague for trial in Q1 2023 on a flight paid for by the Russian ultra-nationalists or more preferably a flight paid for by the Russian Opposition led by Alexei Navalny... that is, if Putin doesn't accidentally "fall out out a 10-story window" before then.
The reason I bring this new/unfolding "unfortunate situation" up to you guys now is that the chances of Rosatom ala Uranium One giving you a new super low bid in December https://www.mining.com/web/bolivia-still-evaluating-six-firms-for-lithium-mining-partnerships/ on mining & refining all your lithium were revised last night to one of two possibilities... extremely low and zilch.
If I were you... I would be calling those 5 other lithium bidders right now and pushing that final-final bid date up to Thursday November 24 so you little beaners will at least have a Happy Thanksgiving this year... as you know last year's Thanksgiving was pretty much a bust but we won't dwell on that.

PS, and don't even think about talking to Posco-Samsung, BYD or Tesla in the interim... they belong to us now. Adios.

Dear_NewCo/MSB Management,_we need_to join_Compromiso Minero_and investigate_sending
our raw lithium from Chile across the border into Argentina under the new Compromiso Minero program

As you know our very own Uncle Posco is setting up a lithium mining and lithium refining plant in Argentina and under the Compromiso Minero program it would appear we could send our lithium to Uncle Posco for refining bringing our ore up to battery grade specs... and then shipping it out the backdoor in Argentina direct to China https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/argentina-says-has-chinas-support-to-join-brics-group

... or will you grow a spine, protect the Republic, exert your elected authority and beat the living piss out of these spoiled brats/hooligans in order to avoid having your new government completely castrated & "cancelled" like Sebastian Pinera suffered in October 2019 foolishly trying to appease certifiable lunatics/crazies/rioters who can never be even semi-appeased and who will continue their juvenile tantrums through October if not subdued properly now due to the fact their disengaged/faulty/woke parents never gave them a proper "these-are-the-rules-askhole" caning when they defied society's norms growing up?
Dear Gabby Boric, Ittttttt'ssssssss Show Time... time "to show" the Chilean people what you are really made of.... Pussy, or Top Law & Order Enforcer with equally/justice for all?
