DR. Seriously, why the heck are we still in this POS company? I have stuck with these idiots for many years and it has not gone anywhere. Are we stupid to hang in there longer or is there a future here? Thanks for your humble opinion. Like the U.S., Chile sucks right now. Thanks for all you do here.

Minister_of Anti-Mining continues_taking more victory_laps on_castrating junior lithium_miners

Basically because I (Marcela) have nothing else to say other than to start my subtle campaign as the next president of Chile in hopes aliens from Mars hijack Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric's airplane on the way back from America (spit spit) next Saturday... I am going to continue claiming a big victory for communism by beating the drum on how I (Marcela) along with the Chilean Lithium mafia and some 2-bit disgusting Russian Inuit/Eskimo descendant straw horse Camar/Coyo indian prostitutes along with that slimeball Miguel Vargas (SQM/Albemarle ass-licker) brought the entire junior lithium mining industry to a standstill last week. I am also going to jump up & down again on keeping these rabid junior lithium miners to future ownership deals restricted to much less than 49% for them even if they own their mining properties and we the Sate contribute zero dollars to the project CAPEX because we commies have already basically stolen all the money from the Treasury that could have been used as seed money for lithium mining construction (note: Codelco US$18B in debt, ENAMI looking for more handouts every month, CORFO refusing to touch anything not named SQM/Albemarle).
We commies looking to thoroughly rape all the junior lithium miners will sit back in our comfy Lazy-Boy chairs, sprinkle magic fairy dust in the air and just wait for gringo Whitey to come crawling on their knees to Chile begging for our precious permission to mine lithium in Chile.
Sincerely,
Nurse Ratched Marcela (ref: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest)
PS, psssst, Nurse Ratched Marcela, we're getting social media notifications coming in that Whitey is simply/wisely bailing out of Chile for the next 4 years and heading to Argentina, Africa, DRC and Brazil now that Lula has Covid-19 https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Brazil-Lula-Is-Infected-With-COVID-19-and-Suspends-Campaign-20220606-0011.html and has suspended his presidential campaign.

It is interesting that super-hot-chiquita amazing-cleavage Minister of the Interior, Izkia Siches, now assumes the position of Vice President of the Republic until Saturday when Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric returns to Chile... but what is really really interesting is that if Boric's plane is hijacked by aliens from Mars then Izzy would become president of Chile next Sunday June 12. Man, that would be so cool if she could take over as president. You can look at any picture of 100 people gathered in a room and she stands out immediately to you with her gorgeous looks, stylish clothes, voluptuous boobs, lick-able legs... just look at this cover picture (don't click the video start button) and your eyes will immediately focus on her
If_you believe_1sh BLILF_is worth_1.82sh LTHHF_and Bearing_holds at US$0.20/sh
then LTHHF should mathematically keep on dropping until it ultimately reaches parity with Bearing at US$0.11/share for LTHHF.
Note: LPI is DOWN another 5.88% on the ASX at 2:45PM and

If you think I am bullshitting you then name one thing these continually nagging Colla indians (who are really from Leftist Argentina and don't even belong in Chile now) have done for the greater good of Chile in the last 200 years other than keeping the welfare lines nice and straight at the food stamp handout office... and I will concede their bars/whorehouses always have nice straight waiting lines also.
Another newly energized peripheral group of these budding extortionist groups (4 parasites so far in this newest latest group of budding thieves) want to conveniently forget how their revered ancestors/witch-doctors/chieftains sold off their useless wasteland years ago to Whitey (Codelco) for a pretty penny for the whole tribe and lay a new "thrown more shit at the wall and hope some sticks" wispy quick-claim to this remote desert un-farm-able unlivable rocky lands now that lithium has jumped from $4,000/mt up to $53,000/mt. Coincidence? I think not.
This latest boo-hoo boo-hoo amateur-hour-acting ragtag group has spent the last week at some local junkyards scooping up old rubbish prehistoric arrowheads, smelly rotting moccasins, shards of indian pottery, beaded necklaces used in whacked-out anal sexual rituals, dried-out scalps their greatgreatgrandparents skinned off Whitey, and carved stone amulets (fakes actually made in China) to now worship intently for the TV cameras at 6PM on News 24TV when Jesus is looking the other way after they go "salt the mine" in Maricunga with their tossed-about useless rubbish the night before and then magically proclaim Codelco now owes them $50,000,000 (plus a few new Chevy Corvettes and some 2023 sedan fully-AC Beemers to run the upcoming new batch of papooses to daycare) to satisfy the freshly/newly disturbed Colla gods conveniently just as Codelco is getting ready to begin their next 4th lithium test drill program in the last 5 years which they always start in the winter time in order for the test firm to secure a force majeure delay because of the cold and stretch out the drilling contract for and 3 extra months at cost + 20% profit.
Chile is one big shithole full of a 1,000 different scam-artist political/indigenous/over-sensitized-pussies/faggots/multi-genders/fake-indians-from-Russia/carpetbaggers/freeloading-commies now all wanting a sweetheart $50,000,000 payoff/kickback (note: $1,000,000 plus one Beemer and a case of American Jack Daniels whiskey is the absolute rock-bottom won't-budge minimum) from the Whitey lithium miners in order to drop their latest legal challenges to the overall progress/growth of the entire country.

This is the problem with having a nitwit non-miner commie Anti-Minister of Mining only interested in mining for lesbos/dykes to forcefully put into cushy high-paying Cristina Fernández de Kirchner Argentinian-style "make work" miners' staff doing nothing of consequence for the mining companies in order to buy future votes in the next election instead of having a competent engineer "go-getter" running the Chilean mining ministry who understands the benefits of real non-commie free-market enterprises and how powerful capitalism can be to be fill a backward country's treasury simply through proper/fair taxation instead of trying to steal the mineral-rich lands from private landowners and then bumble-focking up the whole commie-collective operation with oversized incompetent/out-of-the-loop/never-accountable government mismanagement... to wit, Codelco... $18,000,000,000 in the Red today.
Now that this pissant Minister of Anti-Mining has made it perfectly clear she intends to support bot-focking all us lithium miners, these parasite commie lawmakers like Senator Velásquez are all going to be crawling out of their shit-smelling cesspools and calling for Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric to nationalize lithium mines as a way to magically bail out all the current sinking leftist welfare programs (including AFP pension) in the country along with the new crazy welfare programs proposed by Boric during the election.
Dear Senator Velásquez, if you are so hell-bent on taking all our lithium mining profits, then why don't you simply buy half or more of all our shares on the stock exchange now (for super cheap cheap) and auto-guarantee yourself and your putrid free-loading spawn/friends a steady income stream over the next 20 years like we hardworking taxpaying law-abiding Maricunga beaners have been buying/holding for the last 12 years?

Minister_of Anti-Mining sends_phony condolences_to BYD/Errázuriz/NewCo/SIMCO/ etal
over first successful lithium mining legal defeat under Boric on final implementation of the two teeny tiny BYD & Errázuriz 80,000 LCE export quota licenses over some chickenshit technicality whereby some focking 25-cent two-bit useless panhandling indians on the Chilean welfare rolls claim they needed to be properly/quantitatively "stroked" (wink wink) and consulted before any multi-billion dollar lithium mining ventures helping to bring thousands of new mining jobs to unemployed/under-employed Chileans is approved by the government (in this case the Pinera/Jobet government which lost the last presidential election and therefore needed to be quickly/immediately shit upon by the Copiapo kangaroo court) in a vindictive leftist-inspired lawsuit by slimeball Governor Miguel Vargas, the Russian Inuit/Eskimo descendant Camar/Coyo indians, and the Chilean Lithium mafia.
https://www.mining.com/web/chiles-mining-minister-says-country-open-to-new-lithium-tenders/
Question to the Anti-Mining Minister: Did you once in the last 3 months try to work this dispute out in favor of your predecessor Juan Carlos Jobet by explaining in simple rational logic and personally assuring to the plaintiffs that no LCE export license can be implemented on Camar/Coyo lands without the miner (BYD or Errázuriz) further obtaining an EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) approval from the SEA which would have been more than enough protection for the indian tribal lands/junkyards/whorehouses?
Answer: No.
Question to the Anti-Mining Minister: Mining activity and mining jobs are down 10.6% year over year under your administration. Did it once cross your tiny vindictive balls-smashing mind that these two LCE licenses would have significantly helped bring thousands of new good-paying jobs to Chile in areas not under the extorting thumb of Miguel Vargas, the straw horses Russian Inuit/Eskimo descendant Camar/Coyo indians and the Chilean Lithium mafia?
Answer: No.
Question to the Anti-Mining Minister: Since your appointment over three months ago have you met with junior lithium miner Lithium Chile Inc to discuss how your department could physically help them get into actual lithium mining including a CEOL through the new NLC, work through Chilean bureaucratic red tape, secure interim construction financing blessed/sanctioned by your governmental office, structure a fair tax/royalty program fair to Chile and fair to the miner, or iron out water/environmental disputes?
Answer: No.

Answer: No.
Question to the Anti-Mining Minister: Have you ever stepped foot on the Maricunga Salar to talk to us (ie the citizens) on what we think about developing a productive mining industry way out here in bumfock?
Answer: No.
Question to the Anti-Mining Minister: Do you have any mining degrees or do you have any university credits on mining technology?
Answer: No.
Question to the Anti-Mining Minister: Have you ever prior to your government ministerial experience (purchased through campaign contributions) run a mining company, built a mining company with your own blood & sweat from scratch, helped finance a mining company?
Answer: No.
Question to the Anti-Mining Minister: Are you aware that the Agri-businesses steal more drinkable/potable water than all the miners combined use in Chile by a factor exceeding 7?
Answer: No.
Question to the Anti-Mining Minister: Are you honestly going to work to unfreeze/streamline/uncomplicate the CEOL process in Chile over the next 4 years?
Answer: No.
Question to the Anti-Mining Minister: Can you drop this pretense of civility and tell us who is in the Chilean Lithium mafia and who in the left-wing is at the top running it?
Answer: No.
Question to the Anti-Mining Minister: Are you or any of the lezzies/dykes in the Ministry of Anti-Mining getting a kickback for "a job well done" over the last 3 months by keeping your lips tightly sealed offering us junior lithium miners zero help/encouragement from the Chilean Lithium mafia on this legal defeat announced Wednesday at the Copiapo Appellate Court?
Answer: No.
Question to the Anti-Mining Minister: When you fly on an airplane, can you squeeze your oversized fat-ass in a regular airplane seat?
Answer: No.
Question to the Anti-Mining Minister: Are you more concerned about secretly running for the office of President than properly running your ministry for when Gabby Boric goes down in flames from stupidly following these old antiquated Allende/Fidel-Castro/Hugo-Chavez/Maduro leftist pipe dreams actually designed more to completely enslave entire populations making them subservient/duty-bound to big daddy power-hungry presidential greedy visions and what a repressive communist state should be?

Dear Warren Buffet, it sounds like if you simply insert "NewCo in Maricunga Salar" on the dotted line in your 80,000mt LCE export quota license (taking care not to step one foot on Camar/Coyo tribal-lands/junkyards property of course) then you have now met the proper conditions for legally executing your license.

I seriously doubt LPI was actually invited to the Fastmarkets Lithium Supply and Battery Raw Materials 2022 show June 27 - 29 in the Arizona Grand Resort & Spa Phoenix USA but rather they paid a please-please-let-me-in "fee" to get into the show since no one would probably allow them in otherwise... but still it is reassuring to see these focking worn-out blah-blah-rehash-rehash loser(s) from LPI are not sleeping in a company-paid warm comatose siesta 100% of the time on our dime.

I wonder if LPI will go into detail on how they haven't done or accomplished jackshit in Chile with our "shovel ready" Maricunga project over the last 5 years since they took over running it? Hmmm, now I would pay a $250 for a front row seat at the show to hear that presentation.

Boric's blustery superfluous horseshit on taking another year to create this focking abomination NLC was pure Macbeth... a story told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
And then we have that useless lesbo-dyke fat-ass Marcela Hernando tromping up on stage to say "I take responsibly the mandate that the President has reiterated today in his public account, the National Lithium Company is a longing for the vast majority of Chileans, who expect a remuneration of our mineral wealth, we cannot repeat the history of saltpeter” making it (saltpeter) all sound like a warm & super fuzzy sacrament from Jesus Christ. As you all know, saltpeter is secretly sprinkled into the food of vibrant dynamic "can-do" manly-men to prevent them (us) from getting a hard-on which all Marcela's lezzies simply abhor seeing/touching/embracing/loving/enjoying. This dyke has no clue what the vast majority of Chileans want... Chileans want jobs, not her endless flowery bullshit leading nowhere productive.
Boric is bragging how Codelco is so brave to be spending US$90M on exploration and another US$86M on innovation (whatever the fock that is)... but then you ask "well how much is going to our Maricunga project?" Well, I will tell you... US$2,000,000 for 2022... that's it... it's ridiculous, it's focking peanuts, it's an insult signifying nothing.
That foot-dragging old hag Marcela is going to fock this NLC up beyond recognition over the next year continuing to drag out and neuter this "what should be a simple 4-week job" for 4 more years without doing jackshit. Mark my words.

Sleazeball Miguel Vargas, slimy fock ankle-biting governor of Atacama (fun fact: did you know Atacama is the home state of SQM & Albemarle?) has won this first lithium court battle of 2022 and reinforced the epitaph once more that Chile is indeed one big corrupt conniving shithole.

https://miningpress-com.translate.goog/nota/347687/argentina-fijo-precios-testigo-para-el-litio-la-resolucion?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Is it possible that Argentina/IMF will/can next get all their lithium miners to pledge their 2025 forward lithium production to the State at a discounted but fixed $43,000/mt for 10 years and the State then is responsible for selling all the lithium to be mined hopefully at the pre-agreed benchmark $53,000/mt (or more) 2025 through 2035 carefully peeling off their pre-determined tax/royalty as they go along and scooping up any windfall price per tonne appreciation that may occur? Of course in down times (eg $25,000/mt times) the privateer miners are still selling their output at $43,000/mt to the State if the State can indeed stockpile the temporarily unsold lithium product thus nicely leveling out the miner's cash flows.
In this scenario, Argentina could then easily start selling futures/options on that "known/coming" $53,000/mt lithium to battery makers at discount for $40,000/mt in 2022, $45,000/mt in 2023, $50,000/mt in 2024 and then the peak of $53,000/mt January 2025 through 2035. But then a niggling question could enter the equation... would the Argentinian leftists excessively rob Peter (ie Futures) to pay Paul (ie IMF) off early in the the "lead up period" 2023 through 2025? Maybe... but I think not given Argentina's previous lessons learned.
Hmmm, but to make this scenario work as a low risk strategic program, Argentina/IMF would most likely need Brazil, Bolivia, Chile and perhaps even Mexico to agree to also implement a fixed $53,000/mt benchmark in January 2025 for ten years rolling forward thereby short-circuiting the free-market in unison and making whatever LME says on market price basically moot. It would be doubtful that the more-costly-to-mine Australian lithium will be selling for less than $53,000/mt in January 2025 so this 5-way South American alliance would not feel any competitive pricing heat from the ozzies.
Is such a thing even possible in situation where all 4 countries will be run by leftists through 2026 as Lula will surely win Brazil in the next Brazilian presidential election?
Is this our future? I wonder. Do you wonder also?
And is it possible that the IMF had talks with Goldman Sachs recently and said, "Psst, listen Goldie, let's fock all the lithium miners with some made up doom & gloom bullshit story just after Memorial Day 2022 and then quietly buy up their depressed shares ASAP when they collapse for a real killing while we two then control the entire burgeoning lithium industry from our brand new ultra-luxury offices in Buenos Aires where the chicks are heterosexual (unlike Chile), are super caliente hot and party-party all night"?

Goldman_Sachs says_name one prediction_we made_2yrs ago_that turned_out correct
Are_you wondering_why lithium_stocks dropped_in pre-market?
Well, imagine yourself a lithium miner in the new "go-go hotspot" Argentina like Ganfeng for instance and in 2-3 years the long-term contract price for a metric tonne has settled into something close to US$35,560/mt.
But unfortunately for you, Argentina has long ago set your benchmark base sale price for non-negotiable taxation purposes at US$53,000/mt https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=169015226 and https://miningpress-com.translate.goog/nota/347687/argentina-fijo-precios-testigo-para-el-litio-la-resolucion?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
You can of course go to the Argentinian Taxman and argue your taxes/royalties should be based on US$35,560/mt... not US$53,000/mt... but I don't think you are going to get much sympathy from the Taxman in this situation. Now where this next gets really ugly is if Argentina tries to force the lithium buyer (eg Ford, Hyundai, Tesla, VW etal) to actually pay US$53,000/mt INSIDE Argentina which the IMF is surely watching like a hawk in Argentina's case as a condition of the last 5 or 6 or 7 underwater loans they made to Argentina.
Anyone who owns lithium stock in Argentina today just felt their_asshole puckering smaller 2-3 sizes last night.

The Argentinian miners now know for sure what they are selling their lithium at the government's export tracking scale. The lithium buyers know the minimum they are paying at the government's export tracking scale. And the Argentinian tax collector knows the taxable base price of the lithium at the Argentinian government's export tracking scale. On the plus side such a program does eliminate any argumentative/fair-market pricing input from international indexing services like LME (London Metals Exchange) or from mysterious/questionable-motives obfuscating richly-paid chemical engineers inside the miners' labs (eg see SQM/Albemarle for historical reference) and does sound in theory very gestapo-like efficient for everyone involved INSIDE Argentina.
The question you will ask is.. once that lithium is transported due west (to save on longer-route shipping costs) across Chile to a convenient deep-water Pacific Ocean seaport for shipment to China or Russia (who desperately needs to start building their own kamikaze drones) or India (who has an overabundance of stupido short-sighted logistical planning retards in government) what then will the additional VAT be on a tonne of lithium sitting on the Chilean government's tracking scale welded down on the seaport dock. If the Chilean Lithium mafia has any say... they (ie Chile and the mafia) will probably "tack on" another US$10,000 minimum to quench their greedy blood lust/fangs and also sufficiently helping fund the obstructionists/lobbyists plus political-hacks like Miguel Vargas https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220114-chile-court-freezes-multi-million-dollar-lithium-deal who will happily blockade any progress being made by competing Chile lithium miners not named SQM/Albemarle to "mine lithium" inside "locked-up tight" Chile.
Such a cumulative development would then mean that tonne of Argentinian LCE 99.5% lithium sitting on the Chilean dockside weigh station scale just before being hoisted onto an oceanic freighter destined for China/Russia/India is worth US$68,000/mt minimum.

II. MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS ACHIEVED DURING 2021-2022
1. National Mining Policy - Mining 2050
The National Mining Policy 2050 (PNM 2050) constitutes a starting point for the industry and for the state. This policy sets goals for the industry and the State, in the short (2025), medium (2030) and long term (2050) to meet the objective of developing sustainable mining, that provides the minerals that the world requires to face the climate crisis, generate
employment, investment and progress in the regions.
The PNM 2025 is based on the pillars of economic, social and environmental sustainability, without However, this policy must be adapted to the new scenarios and challenges.
In order to adapt the National Mining Policy 2050 current challenges, work is being done on its review, especially with the inclusion of weakly considered actors and due coinheritance with the Government Program. The foregoing is achieved with work carried out from the territories, in co-design of work methodologies and with permanent dialogue. In that line is working on a design of interest group strategy.
2. Piloting Guidelines for Autonomous Machinery and Green Hydrogen (H2v)
The Ministry of Mining, through the National Mining and Geology Service, Sernageomin,
Together with the Ministry of Energy, they developed a joint effort to develop a Renewal Plan
regulation to enable the use of green hydrogen (H2V) in mining. It is the first contribution
you concrete on this matter that is carried out in the country and that seeks to establish a policy
long-term public, which contributes to the development of the industry and provides administrative certainty
incentives to support innovation.
Within the framework of this work, Sernageomin, together with the National Pilotage Center (CNP), developed
Piloting Guides for Autonomous Machinery and Green Hydrogen, focused on the use of
H2v as fuel in mining.
Page 5
• The guide establishes a framework for action before Sernageomin, as a supervisory body in matters of mining safety, so that mining companies use their tasks to dedevelop the technology and projects related to the use of this clean fuel in a way sure.
• The implementation of this guide will allow the State to acquire the necessary knowledge, to adjust the regulation to the development of this technology and thus promote its use in a safe way.
• The document defines the requirements that Sernageomin will demand for the implementation of the pilot projects that develop tests where it is produced, conditioned, transported distribute, store and/or use Hydrogen (H2) as fuel in the works and operations mining rations, in a validation process that will subsequently be carried out permanent.
• In addition, it seeks to standardize, within Sernageomin, the evaluation criteria applied open to all projects that have the same characteristics.
Parallel to the preparation of this guide, the Ministries of Mining and Energy, together with Sernageomin (secretary of regional ministry), convened government intersectoral work teams, in addition to representing representatives of the academy and the mining industry, to analyze the gaps in the Regulation of Mining Safety and to be able to develop the Green Hydrogen Regulation Plan. With this, seeks to generate a schedule of necessary regulatory modifications and identify the critical topics.
Projections of use of green hydrogen (H2v) in mining
Adding all the renewable energy sources available in Chile, a potential of more than 1,800 GW available for the generation of renewable electricity, which is equivalent to 70 times the total installed capacity currently.
• By 2030, Chile will be the only country in the world capable of producing green hydrogen for under US$1.50 per kilogram.
• By 2050 we could reach, in areas such as Magallanes, at a cost close to US$1.00 per kilogram to produce green hydrogen.
• By 2050, the market for green hydrogen and its derivatives could represent more than US$ 30 billion annually for Chile.
3. Modernization of the National Mining Company, ENAMI
ENAMI plays a vitally important role in promoting the sector, especially by delivering economic viability to small-scale mining, but also as a policy instrument for the formalization of the activity.
In recent years, the ministry has made significant efforts to improve its management, seeking to optimize the use of its assets and thus better fulfill its role in the policy of promotion. But there are still important and varied challenges, among them, is the reformulation and modernization in the composition of its corporate governance, which allows it to deliver certainties to industry players and also complies with international standards to which Chile has joined.
Page 6
In 2018, ENAMI signed a contract with ACCIONA Energy, energy supplier company renewable, after this operator was awarded will indicate the supply of electricity of all the company's campuses in a li-public citation, including in 2021 the Complex Metallurgist of Paipote, Copiapó. Thanks to this action, since January 2021 almost all of the ENAMI plants is supplied with energy 100% renewable energy and has avoided emission to the atmosphere of more than 300 thousand tons of CO2, a figure that by 2030 projects the decrease of 1,200,000 tons of CO2 into the environment.
Added to this is the energy traceability of its schools located in Taltal, El Salado, Copiapó, Vallenar and Ovalle, through a technology called Greenchain -provided by ACCIO-NA which allows ENAMI to trace the origin of the renewable energy that feeds its distribution tions, recording their location and the time of his generation, thus accrediting his con-reliability, safety and consumption of each of their campuses. Renewable Energy Sources Non-Conventional, NCRE, which deliver the supply electric power to the state company come from the Almeyda photovoltaic plant located in Atacama and San Gabriel wind farm in Araucanía.
4. Management of the pandemic
During 2020 the Ministry of Mining, through of Sernageomin, managed a work table together with the mining unions and the industry, to respond and contain the effects that the pandemic would leave in the sector. One of the fruits of that low period, was the security protocol for Covid-19 that was implemented in the mining companies, which allowed the operational continuity of the industry, a reduction to similar levels prior to the pandemic and keeping infections below the average national.
Page 7
This allowed mining to be one of the sectors that sustained its activity levels. during the year 2020 and much of 2021, an enormous effort that will have impacts on the production levels of the following periods.
According to information from Cochilco, in 2020 Chile produced a total of 5.7 million tons, achieving practically the same level of production as in 2019. Meanwhile, in 2021, the second year of pandemic, production reached 5.6 million tons, which consolidates us in our status as the world's leading copper producer.
5. Safety and Employment in Mining
According to information provided by the National Geology and Mining Service, Sernageomin, in its Monthly Registry (December 3, 2021), in November the total endowment of the industry mining reached 285,491 male and female workers, which represents an increase of 12.3% in the period January-November 2021. The female participation stands out, reaching 29,602 women, which represents 10.4% of the workforce in the industry in November 2021.
This is a concrete sign of the recovery of employment in the sector that is beginning to leave behind the most complicated months that the national and world economy experienced, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
a. Of the total workforce reported in November, 219,695 correspond to companies contractors and 65,796 to principals.
b. Among the mining projects that generated the greatest increase in the workforce, are El Lieutenant, Pelambres, Spence and Teck.
c. In this line and when analyzing the regional data, the figures show that, during November, Antofagasta remains the region with the largest endowment in the country, reaching leasing 115,554 workers; Atacama follows with 44,704; Tarapaca with 43,023 and Coquimbo with 27,194.
d. Between 2018 and 2021, the average annual staffing has increased by 18.4% in mining operations in the country.
e. In the last 10 years, Chilean mining of all sizes - small, medium and large-scale mining- achieved important advances in terms of safety, with a reduction tion of 75% of fatalities. This figure is more positive for small mining, which decreased by 80% thanks to the efforts of many actors: companies, Sernageomin, the Ministry of Mining, the other public departments, but, above all, of the workers of the industry themselves.
F. Between 2018 and 2021 the fatality rate was reduced by 50% and the number of deaths decreased by 20%.
g. In 2021 Sernageomin carried out 10,557 inspections.
Page 8
6. Mining concessions
Mining concessions in Chile are currently under a patent protection regime and, the right to explore and/or exploit is granted based on an annual payment.
For the benefit of small and medium-sized mining, the ministry worked to develop a proposal that would improve the system and boost exploration in the country, under modifications are amendments to the Mining Code introduced through the Bill to increase the collection tax provision, aimed at financing the Universal Guaranteed Pension.
Current mining patents are low compared to other mining countries and do not incentivize/stimulate the exploitation of the mineral. Today concessions are registered with no real intention of using them to your end:
• 36% of the country's hectares are covered by a mining concession.
• The regions with the highest percentage of concessioned hectares are Atacama (84%), Tarapacá (81%), Coquimbo (76%) and Antofagasta (73%).
• The low availability of space brings several difficulties, not only for mining development, but also for the general development of the country.
• In addition, there is hoarding in the concessions: 50% of the hectares in concession of exploration belong to 15 companies.
7. Women and mining
In recent years, the Ministry of Mining has carried out different activities to promote gender equity and increase female participation in the industry, establishing making medium and long-term commitments, with a view to generating a cultural change.
Within the framework of this work, together with the Ministry of Women and Gender Equity, In June 2018, the National Women and Mining Roundtable was ratified, until then only made up of
Page 9
by guilds, and now adds mining companies and suppliers, public services of the industry and civil society organizations, to have a comprehensive view of the sector and your challenges. Thus, work has been done around 3 main axes: having working conditions suitable for men and women; increase female participation in the mining industry and, finally, increase the presence of women in decision-making positions.
In August 2021, the Board met in person at La Moneda, to formalize the commitment commitment to the incorporation of women into the mining industry, addressing the following points:
• Record progress according to the indicators proposed at the Table, in order to participate in the joint measurement carried out annually.
• In front of each activity that is carried out (seminars, talks, round table, workshops, among others) organize representative panels with at least 30% male participation, men or women, as the case may be, and avoiding leaving women in a role solely of moderator.
• Identify internally, masculinized positions according to the methodology proposed in the Table, to be able to carry out affirmative actions and thus incorporate more women in them.
The annual closing of the Table was held in December, in a conversation with the representatives of the companies and institutions that are part of the initiative.
According to the study prepared by Cochilco and published in December 2021, the female participation in the labor market has increased steadily in the last recent years in our country. Specifically, in the last ten years there has been an increase gradual increase in the percentage of women working in the mining sector, from 6 percentage points in the year 2010 to 10.3% in the year 2020. This study also addresses issues associated with the characterization of women's employment in the mining sector and seeks, with the support of the new authorities, become an indicator not only of percentages of inclusion, but rather a true monitor of the quality of women's employment and their contribution to the mining sector.
7.1 Strengthening and Mainstreaming of Ministerial Management with a Perspective of Gender.
In line with our feminist government, the main objective of the gender program is to system-nuance the continuity measures installed in the ministry, with a view to continuing to advance in the matter. To do this, first of all, we have proposed to incorporate the perspective of gender to our strategic guidelines, to be able to mainstream it into all the work of the Service, and thus, be able to design, execute and evaluate public mining policies that are sensible susceptible to gender.
During 2022 we will prepare our first gender report, which will constitute a valuable input for the production of information and knowledge about the current state and trends gender differences within the mining sector. In addition, we will update the internal diagnosis of our Promotion and Sustainable Development Divisions, which will contribute to improving our roadmap, redefining objectives and concrete actions in accordance with the process initiated.
Page 10
We will reinforce and give continuity to our National Committee on Women and Mining, which, together with the Regional Tables, have been a valuable space for public-private collaboration that has allowed to install the issues of gender, diversity and inclusion in our agenda and that today make it a priority.
All these initiatives, among others that are in our program, are aimed to impact both the mining ecosystem, as well as within our Service, to promote the equal rights, treatment, participation, autonomy and labor integration of women.
8. Table for the Internationalization of Suppliers of Mining Goods and Services
Since 2020, the Ministry of Mining is part of the Mining Suppliers Board that created ProChile and the Alta Ley Corporation, whose objective was to carry out a diagnosis of the situation of the mining supplier sector, fill gaps and coordinate joint work initiatives for the reactivation of the sector in the short term. Cochilco joined the table along with representatives of some associations and programs linked to the promotion of mining providers, such as AIC, Aprimin, Endeavor, Expande and Minnovex.
One of the first activities of the table was to carry out an Internationalization Survey of Suppliers, answered by approximately 300 mining suppliers, through the which it was possible to establish the strengths and weaknesses of the sector, in terms of the export of mining products and services.
Based on its results, the need to design a strategy that promotes the integration of internationalization of suppliers, with commitments and activities that generate an impact positive in the short, medium and long term.
Page 11
This is how, within the framework of the work table, the idea of ??applying for the Trademarks contest was born. Sectoral ProChile, an initiative that goes hand in hand with the strategy that is expected to download from the Alta Ley Corporation during the year 2022 and that seeks to promote an identity in Chilean mining suppliers, inspired by the Australian model that brings together its mining providers under the acronym METS.
9. Economic recovery and investment
According to information from Cochilco, copper production in Chile was 5.625 million tons for production in 2021, 1.9% less than in 2020. For this year, a production of 5,771 million tonnes, with growth of 2.6% compared to 2021, with which our country will continue to remain the world's leading producer of copper. That, in a context of a high price of the metal, will mean that mining will continue to contribute important resources to the Treasury, which will serve to meet the pending and growing social demands, aggravated by the prolonged quarantines and sanitary restrictions.
Added to this is the investment registry by 2030 in Chilean mining, managed by Cochilco, which indicates the existence of 51 initiatives valued at US$ 68,925 million for this decade. All this has a direct effect on the generation of jobs, much needed to overcome the effects of the pandemic. As of November 2021, for example, the total workforce of the mining industry reached 285,000 workers throughout Chile, only considering the direct jobs. If we add the indirect jobs, in total we are talking about 800,000 families that are related to mining.
If we review the sector from which the investment comes, a third corresponds to mining state represented by Codelco and Empresa Nacional de Minería, while the other two, to the large and medium mining of copper, gold, silver, iron, lithium and industrial minerals, which in employment would have a multiplying effect.
10. Execution and Transfer of Development Instruments
The budget execution in the framework of the promotion of medium, small and artisanal mining is done through transfers to the different services that are part of the institutional nature.
The ENAMI Development Program has seven development instruments that aim to promote the development of small national metal and non-metal mining, executing technical and financial support projects that contribute to the sustainability of the sector.
Among the objectives of these programs is to formalize the work of small mining producers, so that their work is safer and more productive. Also to improve security of small-scale mining operations, adding risk capital to promote the exploration and exploitation of deposits, without history or antecedents. On the other hand, there are drilling and exploration campaigns to increase the useful life of existing deposits.
Page 12
Regarding the Assistance and Modernization Program for Artisanal Mining, it can be pointed out that:
a. Increased its budget by 26.4%, with an annual growth of 8%, totaling US$2,622 million last year.
b. The projects awarded went from 224 to 444 in number.
c. The main goods purchased for the miners were skid steering loaders, trucks and backhoes, as well as tools, camps and containers.
Addressing the need to transition to clean energy and more sustainable mining, the The Ministry of Mining decided to innovate in promoting small-scale mining and artisanal mining. for which it created a line of financing to develop photo-system projects voltaic for smaller-scale mining, which allowed to energize offices, warehouses and facilities, which previously used oil generators without the necessary capacity for it.
On the other hand, in addition to Fomento ENAMI and PAMMA, there is another very important line of support, such as the National Fund for Regional Development (FNDR). In this case the ministry, through the Regional Ministerial Secretariats, presents to the regional governments programs of development and promotion of small mining, to regularize operations and strengthen production of smaller-scale operations in the field of security, technical assistance, competitive funds and productivity.
They also support, secondarily, with comprehensive technical assistance in the field, training, seminars and fairs, competitive funds for delivery of machinery and/or equipment, delivery of personal protection elements, innovation and safety projects, among others. The resources of these programs were mainly used to regularize and formalize the small-scale mining, finance mining equipment, drilling campaigns, machinery, equipment and safety works, in addition to training in safety, mining processes, innovation, topography, geology and legal aspects.
The support instruments have not had a significant variation in recent years, which can be seen in the table of Support Instruments for Small, Medium and artisanal mining.

III. SCHEDULE FOR THE PERIOD 2022 – 2023
As the Ministry of Mining, we must continue to take concrete steps to develop a more sustainable industry that incorporates innovation, generates specialized human capital and there is a greater dialogue with the communities, that is and will be part of the focus that we have as a portfolio for the 2022-2023 period.
1. Lithium
Promote a new governance of salt flats that guarantees sustainable management of lithium, with respect for the environment, in harmony with the territory and its inhabitants. Provide the state with the human, material, scientific and technical capacities to have the specific knowledge
that allows you to evaluate, investigate, monitor, regulate and make informed decisions evidence based.
Creation of a National Lithium Company, with a leading role for the State, which guarantees future generations clean and sustainable energy, for Chile and our planet, and are always under unrestricted citizen protection.
For this, the first year is contemplated:
a. The creation of a specialized Unit on Lithium and Salars in the Ministry of Mining that allow progress in the design, development and implementation of a Lithium Policy, Salares and non-metallic mining, in compliance with the objectives of the Government Program.
Page 17
b. The installation of an Interministerial Work Table, directed by the Ministry of Mining, to systematize information in a coordinated and coherent manner to avoid duplication of functions between the different organs of the State; with the participation of the ministries of Economy, Energy, Treasury, Environment, Social Development and Science, as well as Corfo, Sernageomin, Water Directorate, Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission and Cochilco.
c. Establish own capacities in the State, creating a Network of Knowledge in lithium and salares, which articulates the technological and public research institutes, universities of the State, as well as other actors, in order to advance in the creation of capacities scientific-technical and knowledge in the State, on issues such as new methods of extraction, advanced materials, battery elements, hydrogeological models, medium environment and communities.
d. Initiate contacts and joint initiatives between Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, for cooperation scientific and technical knowledge of lithium and salt flats.
2. Research and Development
Promote the development of a true industry associated with mining, which generates jobs additional to those already demanded by the industry. It is essential, then, to invest in science applied, in innovation, research; close cooperation with universities, research centers and scientific societies. Without investment in research tion, there is no such thing as sustainable development. Only with scientific investment will it be possible to minimize the impact of mining tailings, optimize mining exploration and carry out the development of exploration of critical metals for a sustainable and sustainable future.
a. Strengthening of the mining institutionality of the State, scientific and promotion of good practices in private mining.
b. Articulation with the Mining Network of State Universities, as well as with the Institutes associated research.
3. ENAMI
The strengthening of the National Mining Company, Enami, will allow it to lead a training plan promotion and development for medium-sized mining, but especially for small and mining artisan. Mining is much more than the great copper mining. There are thousands of small entrepreneurs who, with effort, creativity and with their own hands, also carry out a invaluable contribution to the development of the country. For the same reason, ENAMI must be a partner and companion of their growth processes, which must necessarily include recycling policies to waste and abandoned machinery, reduce and aim to end the environmental impact that this activity causes. Strengthen the management and coordination of the Development Division of the Ministry with ENAMI.
a. Develop a study of the impact of the 2018-2021 intervention through the Decree of Promotion, which implies measuring the results of the seven existing instruments.
b. Design and implement a georeferenced platform of the beneficiary producers, through the Law for the Promotion and Assistance Program and Modernization of Artisanal Mining.
Page 18
c. Update of the Artisanal Mining Assistance and Modernization Program agreement 2022.
d. Establish a structured instance of collaborative work, between the Undersecretary of Mining and Enami – Mining Development Committee – that allows co-design and continuous improvement of plans and programs that benefit producers, workers and workers in the sector metallic and non-metallic mining.
4. Strengthening copper smelting capacity
Prospect alternatives for the development and installation of high standard foundries.
a. Evaluate the development of foundries to ensure compliance with safety regulations, environmentality.
b. Update Paipote smelter renovation project and evaluate its feasibility of implementation
5. Actions to face the climate crisis
Approach with scientific criteria the use of seawater and the use of clean energies, in the processes You are miners and industrialists. To this end, studies and investments will be carried out to allow their intelligent, sustainable and shared use for desalination processes or other processes
so that allow us to face the water crisis in our country.
a. Sector Plan to face the climate crisis, including the water crisis.
b. Participate in interministerial bodies for the promotion of water infrastructure shared, encouraging the participation of the mining industry in public-private agreements affording development in the matter.
6. Chilean Copper Commission
Increase the study capacity of the Chilean Copper Commission, with the purpose of managing Generate applied knowledge and publications on Mining Public Policies and the sector.
7. National Geology and Mining Service
Strengthen monitoring, control and inspection for a harmonious relationship with the territory, mining processes involved in the entire production chain.
a. Attracting talent from the mining and geology areas for better information on the sector.
b. Improvement of laboratories and evaluation of projects, to increase the capacity of control and have a service according to the technical, political, social and economics of our mining.
c. Improvement of the applied geology capacity in Sernageomin, to meet the effects of the climate crisis and support from technical assistance to geo-emergencies logical, the just transition we seek.
Page 19
8. Ministerial strengthening
People and teams to design and manage the mining of the future
a. Strengthen the technical capacity to design and manage the current and future challenges of the sector.
b. More and better professionals to promote small and medium mining, strengthening our specialized teams, to adequately anticipate the problems of our producers in order to offer comprehensive and quality solutions.
9. Legislative and Regulatory Measures
Parliamentary motions and messages from the Executive that are being processed in the
National Congress, in different stages, are being evaluated to determine courses of action, in accordance with presidential priorities.
a. Project that establishes a new framework for the corporate governance of ENAMI (it included Corfo and State Bank). It was withdrawn by the current government for its reformulation, which will include dialogue with ENAMI workers. A new project will be presented in co-work with the Treasury.
b. Modification of Law No. 20,551 during the second half of this year. The purpose of this project will address certain deficiencies that have been detected during the application of the law by SERNAGEOMIN, related to the inspection procedures and sanction, collection of fines, incentives to carry out progressive closures, among others.
c. Draft Law Bulletin No. 14,830, which modifies Law No. 21,240, which reduces or eliminates tax exemptions indicated. Its objective is to correct typing errors and inconsistencies resistances produced during the discussion process of the same, in relation to the
Page 20
reduced mining patent and inconsistencies in article 142 bis. The project was approved by the Chamber of Deputies on May 3 of this year, passing then to the second constitutional process in the Senate.
Regulatory or administrative measures under analysis for their materialization
a. Mining Safety Regulation: for the application of the new Title XV of the Regulation that regulates small-scale mining, it is required to dictate a series of methodological guides for part of SERNAGEOMIN, work in which the Ministry will lend its support.
b. Regulation of Transport of Mineral Concentrates: as a result of the publication of the law No. 21,425, which introduced modifications to the Traffic Law, working with the ministries Environment and Transport and Telecommunications, in a regulation that regulates the form and the obligations that correspond to the person responsible for the load. Said regulation It should be published in June 2022.

Let us enter into our special 3-wheeler Chilean Time Machine and jump forward in time to June 7, 2022 and listen in on the JoseBiden and Gabby Boric's very private meeting in Los Angeles between these two leaders during the 9th Summit for the Americas 2022 conference .
JoseBiden: Hola commie-loving Gabby, why do you look so depressed & glum at this grand 9th Summit of the Americas 2022? I heard through the grapevine Elon Musk is possibly flying Taylor Swift on his private jet into Los Angeles and throwing a hip party for Argentina, Brazil and Chile in which Taylor will be singing her songs to everyone but "mostly to you" to enjoy.
Gabby Boric: Hello to you Senor JoseBiden... yes this might be good from Elon Musk if he can get Taylor Swift to agree... I would go totally gaga for her if I could see her perform in person, but I have major problems developing back home in Chile that are weighing heavily on me today.
JoseBiden: Hey listen young man... we all make mistakes like appointing way too many women to key political posts inside our inner circle that we want to secretly doggiefrock after hours in the Palacio de La Moneda oval office or on the beaner Presidential airplane to get into the Mile-High Club, but you made a simple "first time" mistake in that it looks like over 80% of the women you appointed to your primo cabinet posts and sweetest regional posts are full bull-dyke man-hating balls-eating lesbians but next time you will know better and won't make the same mistake twice.
Gabby Boric: No, that is not the big problem that is on my mind today. The problem for me is that the Chinese Sinovac vaccine is turning out to be only as good as warm piss in water at preventing the Omicron variant of Covid-19 and a new epidemic is raging through Chile which will kill our efforts to put our impoverished work force safely back to work in the mining industry. And that is if we can avoid the monkey pox also.
JoseBiden: Oooooo, that is a bummer. What are you going to do?
Gabby Boric: I think I am going to have to blow someone at this 9th Summit for the Americas 2022 conference in order to get a quick shipment of the superior Made-in-the-USA Pfizer & Moderna vaccines to treat my fellow 20 million Chilean citizens.
JoseBiden: ... hmmmm, and it may turn out you will also have to get the ball-busting lawsuit against the 80,000mt LCE export quota licenses for BYD & Errázuriz Group killed in Copiapo, plus arrange for BYD (cc Warren Buffet) to buy the Codelco 325,000mt LCE export quota license (aka CEOL), and instruct your leftist commie associates along with the Chilean Lithium mafia to discontinue preventing MGX, SIMCO, Lithium Chile Inc, Wealth Minerals Ltd and NewCo from getting fully operational in Chile this year.
Gabby Boric: ... and those right-wing corrective measures in total from me would get the real vaccines against Omicron/Covid-19 that we so desperately need in Chile?
JoseBiden: Well, it will depend on how good you actually are at oral sex also I would imagine.
Gabby Boric: Will I get to choose who I have to blow in America for the made-in-America vaccines to actually inoculate my people effectively?
JoseBiden: Tsk tsk, I doubt it. But I just happen to have some hard-to-find-here-at-the-Summit cherry-flavor Chap-Stick to keep your lips extra soft and pretty... do you want some?

Dear Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric, quick... appoint some more useless ineffective/indecisive commie lesbians/dykes to high level government positions and cabinet posts. A few more lesbians/dykes in your inner circle bringing your government to an increased standstill and you will be above the magical 65% disapproval rating next month (which easily means no second term for you and maybe even impeachment for this current term if we are lucky) sure as hell.

Dear Vice President Jaime Pérez de Arce, get in line Jack... nobody has won a CEOL in Shile (ie Shithole + Chile) since Codelco was forced against their will by Bachelet to suck the last one out of the government's asshole over 5 years ago and that CEOL has laid dead as a door nail on the shelf its entire life owing to the fact Codelco despises lithium which is a business way below their superior station in life and reserved more for lower-class filthy peasants/grave-diggers. Plus nobody is going to give their lithium to Codelco in a JV deal until Codelco can prove they have US$800,000,000 (which they don't have) to invest in a real lithium mine (which they don't have either)... ENAMI will be in the same focking boat as Codelco.

Stellantis_to build_new US$3B_battery plant_in Indiana
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/stellantis-build-battery-plant-indiana-174447321.html
Reporting Live from Chile:
Bloonberg Reporter Karen Rodriquez: Senor Crystalballs, will you drop everything in your hand now and travel to Indiana to persuade Stellantis to buy thousands of tonnes of lithium to make batteries from your Maricunga lithium project?
Crystalballs: No.
Bloonberg Reporter Karen Rodriquez: But why?
Crystalballs: Because I am working here and "Mucho is progressing behind the scenes" https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/lpi-the-next-lithium-producer-in-chile.6650218/page-543?get_post=true&direction=previous
Bloonberg Reporter Karen Rodriquez: Senor Crystalballs, you're not kidding anyone anymore in this age of miniature pinhole spy-cams. Everyone knows now what you are doing in the office bathroom between your company-paid multiple daily naps "behind the scenes" https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=168950402
Crystalballs: No comment... I know my rights. I plead the 5th.
Bloonberg Reporter Karen Rodriquez: So are you just going to ignore Stellantis and forget about selling them any lithium in a long term take-off agreement?
Crystalballs: I have more important things to worry about now. Since Andrew Phillips made a new video it means we have another CR (Capital Raise) coming up soon affecting all the gullible sheeple shareholders and I must do mucho mucho more now "behind the scenes" looking artificially busy-busy to get properly ready for my upcoming yearly raise/bonus job review which has been 5 years running like clockwork this August.
Ring ring
Bloonberg Reporter Karen Rodriquez: Hello Michael Boonberg. Yeah, it's Karen Rodriquez lithium business reporter here on assignment in Maricunga Chile still interviewing Crystalballs. Yeah, I still got nothing with this brain-dead moron... please take me off this assignment and send me back to New York City... I'm begging you. I can't stand another week in Chile with this stupido donkey.
Dear_Minister of_Anti-Mining Marcela_Hernando, hick_Pres Pedro_Castillo in_Peru fired
his Mining Minister yesterday https://www.commodityevolution.com/2022/05/24/perus-president-replaces-mining-minister-as-crisis-intensifies/?lang=en
Let's hope Gabby Boric also wises up to your real agenda on destroying mining in Chile before it is too late... and if you think I am wrong then just cite one case where you have ever enhanced/expanded a mining operation in your entire life. Your life's purpose and agenda has always been anti-mining, is anti-mining today and will always be anti-mining.
