Reporting Live from Chile:
Bloonberg Reporter Karen Rodriquez: Senor Your Excellency Marcela, congratulations on pushing your 46.5% ball-busting crippling Royalty-Tax max cap through Congress which now means Chile is taxing big miners more heavily than Peru, Australia and Canada https://www-ex--ante-cl.translate.goog/grafico-royalty-deja-a-chile-con-una-carga-a-la-mineria-superior-a-peru-australia-y-canada/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp and then managing to get your chubby little elbow onto the Speaker's podium in every photo-op over the last 12 hours with your hot new voluptuous red-head girlfriend standing behind you... does she like to French kiss all my viewers are wondering? And that green polyester suit from Walmart that you are wearing on this auspicious day is very chic auspicious-looking if I may say so.
Marcela: Si, si, and si. It is important that I have my chubby elbow resting on all the podiums in all the pictures taken in the last 12 hours... the Chilean people need to see me on the 6PM nightly TV news as the next best president of Chile in 2026 (or before if Gabby god-forbid falls out a window) over the remnants of thatasswipe limpdick wishy washy Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric who had no qualms about abandoning and throwing his old college best buddy Willy Kracht under the bus to save his political ass.
Bloonberg Reporter Karen Rodriquez: And when you are president in 2026 will you revel in the glory (and the gravy wink wink) of lithium riches opening up to the government (and the thieving commie bureaucrats) which is only possible because Lithium is classified as a Strategic Mineral in Chile destined to be manipulated by un-elected bureaucrats/hacks like yourself?
Marcela: Si, this is our destiny to revel in our lithium success as card-carrying ultra-commies.
Bloonberg Reporter Karen Rodriquez: And will you go to Disneyland to celebrate?
Marcela: No, I hate all Yankee capitalist manufactured fun factories like Disneyland (spit spit).
Bloonberg Reporter Karen Rodriquez: Well, I guess that sums up Marcela's NLP/NLC "clarification" report for May 18. Tune in tomorrow for Marcela's May 19 NLP/NLC clarification report.

Chamber approves project that establishes the royalty for large-scale copper mining and the initiative is ready to become law
by Victor Guillou
Although there was some uncertainty about the approval of the funds that distribute resources to communes and regions, finally all the amendments introduced by the Senate were endorsed.
In a euphoric session, marked by angry interventions from both the opposition and the ruling party, this Wednesday the Chamber of Deputies approved the project that creates a royalty for large-scale copper mining. Although there was some uncertainty regarding the approval of the articles that create three funds for US$450 million, and that distribute resources to different communes and regions of the country, finally all the amendments introduced by the Senate were endorsed by the legislative body. With this, the project was ready to be promulgated.
Specifically, the initiative had 101 votes in favor, 24 against and 3 abstentions.

------------------------
Column by Juan Carlos Guajardo: "Will the national lithium strategy work?"
Opinion by Juan Carlos Guajardo
After a long and excessive wait, which has meant the country reducing its participation in the world market from 45% to only 30%, what Chile proposes for lithium was known. It is a complex strategy that can be summed up as seeking to increase production, but with a pre-eminent role for the State, especially in the key salt flats. It also seeks to establish the bases to generate new industries in the country and to do so with environmental criteria. It will work?
Leaving aside the forms, such as the fact that the announcement has been confusing and still has issues to be defined -which in itself already undermines its objectives-, the most probable result will be rather lukewarm, especially when compared to the potential that could be have taken advantage
The two best salt flats in Chile, Atacama and Maricunga, remain in the hands of Codelco. Enali (National Lithium Company), if it ever sees the light of day, will be a supporting player in the role that Codelco will build without the need for any law. And Codelco will negotiate, probably well, to make agreements viable with SQM, the main objective of the strategy, and with other companies, resulting in greater production.
What is worrying here is the speed with which this happens and the distracting effects that it could generate for Codelco. In any case, this is an opportunity to improve your results affected by the problems in your copper projects.
In the small salt flats, where it does not seem that there will be major restrictions on private investment, it is possible that some projects will be developed, although their size will be rather modest. One cannot fail to mention that there were other ways to increase production and even increase revenue for the State. A tender for the resources that SQM exploits until 2030, together with tenders for new areas of the Atacama salt flat, would have been of great global interest. And for other salt flats, a good and solid legal framework with tax levels similar to those already levied on the Atacama salt flat would have triggered several projects quickly.
The desire for productive development downstream, that is, to produce something more than battery-grade lithium carbonate or hydroxide, will occur more than because of the institutions that propose the strategy, because of the instruments that Corfo already has, since its offer to access lithium in better condition and safely is attractive and already bearing fruit, as seen with BYD's entry.
And finally, environmental care seeks to force the use of direct extraction technology, which is not yet available on an industrial scale, although its arrival is only a matter of time. The requirement could effectively accelerate the development of this technology, although the State will need to accompany it with the necessary permits.
There are two factors to take into account. The strategy, in practice, is based only on administrative decisions, which, by not depending on laws, is left to the discretion of governments that change every 4 years. And there is no shortage of voices abroad who fear that this lithium strategy is a step to later do the same with copper. It is important that Chile dispel any suspicion, since this type of perception -founded or not- can become a serious problem for investment. This is why the discussion of the new constitution is an opportunity to strengthen the bases of mining in Chile, with more certainty, and thereby ensure its attractiveness and viability.

Mr Speaker: All in favor raise your hand... opposed raise your hand.... good, motion approved unanimously. Do I hear any other motions or topics for discussions?
Heidi Boner: No Mr Speaker Nicolas Grau (voted number 1 best used car salesman in all of Chile).
Mr Speaker: Good then meeting adjourned. Let's meet every morning at 9:00AM for 30 minutes (and our State-paid breakfast) for the next 3 years at which time in 3 years we can publish a draft of whatever it is that we are supposed to figure out.

Supporting_State companies_costs Treasury_6,500 social_housing units/yr

Had Chile taken the money they spent trying to artificially "prop up" the 17 companies where the Treasury is the majority owner for the period 2001-2021 the State could have instead built 6,500 houses for Chileans (presumably "poor" Chileans) and there is every indication that the NLC is going to be another one of these boondoggle companies where the State has to pump money into it just to keep the business afloat.
Chile has a miserable track record on setting up and operating State-run companies... and ENAMI might be one of the worst.
State-run Codelco has contributed to the Chilean Treasury a net US$56,279,000,000 over the last 20 years, but you need to remember that Codelco is also US$32,140,000,000 minimum in debt https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=169167469 so factor that key number into the company's true bottom line.
How anyone can still argue today that Chile knows how to run a State-created majority-ownership company (even forgetting Codelco for now) is just totally ludicrous.

You already know what all these bloodsuckers want... they want more money paid into their offshore bank accounts under the table from the lithium miners, same as you. You simply need to figure before Friday what percentage you thieves will be happy with, insert it into a legislative bill for Friday and submit it to the Congress. You waiting until October to submit the NLC legislation is a complete waste of time... you already know what you are going to hear from these local communities/indians/moochers/scammers/carpetbaggers/bureaucratic-thieves and government officials... they simply want more kickbacks/payoffs and to have their in-laws/mistresses/homeys given "make work" do-nothing jobs for inflated wages at the lithium miners' projects... that's it.

Chile is the market that has been most affected by this movement, since more than US$36 billion have left between 2020 and 2022, according to official figures from the Central Bank.
In this regard, Velandia explained that since the social outbreak (October 2019) outflows close to US$ 36 billion were reported. "This could perfectly be something close to 11 points of GDP, which is a historic amount".
Dear Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric, you need to remember what Margaret Thatcher said about your leftist/commie socialist governments... “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Gabby, if you keep driving money out of Chile then you are going to drain the Treasury sure as hell.

through Congress by end of October after curtailing (ie "re-channeling") all the whiners/moochers/scammers/carpetbaggers/tree-huggers/extortionists/freeloading-indians/riff-raft who will start officially trying to chisel off undeserved "kickback" pieces of the lithium pie for themselves in June https://www-diarioconstitucional-cl.translate.goog/2023/05/13/senadores-conocen-detalles-de-la-estrategia-nacional-del-litio-a-la-espera-del-ingreso-de-proyecto-de-ley/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
As you all know, Marcela will be quietly working to delay (ie throwing up roadblocks) this whole NLC process/outcome until resolution can be reached magically by February 2026 in anticipation of her taking the presidential office in March 2026 and then strategically sucking up (ie "off") all the glory & "gravy" on this whole lithium business for herself and her lesbian/dyke buddies.
What is quite telling in this whole beaner clusterfock is that there is not one single fingerprint from Dr Willy Kracht on any of Marcela's newest NLC handiwork... Willy is now persona non grata in the Ministry of Mining after proposing to reintroduce the Pinera/Jobet Lithium Tenders idea and in May 2022 proposing the https://www-guiaminera-cl.translate.goog/estrategia-nacional-del-litio-y-preguntas-para-el-debate/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp establishment of an inter-ministerial table to generate definitions on the NLC (National Lithium Company). The process of creating this proposal was characterized by the secrecy of the Government. Civil society organizations such as OPSAL have publicly expressed their concern about the lack of participation of civil society as described in paragraph 16.

The meeting that Codelco had with the president and general manager SQM before the national lithium strategy
by Victor Guillou
Máximo Pacheco, chairman of the board, revealed that he had a meeting with SQM's president, Gonzalo Guerrero, and his general manager, Ricardo Ramos. The meeting, however, was prior to the launch of the government strategy that commissioned to negotiate the entry of the State to the Salar de Atacama. From SQM they say that the meeting was to talk about the lithium industry, something that the company has done with various authorities and companies.
Máximo Pacheco, Chairman of the Board of Codelco, the largest Chilean state company and the world's leading copper producer, as well as the company mandated by the government to negotiate with SQM and Albemarle to enter the Salar de Atacama, revealed that he met with executives from SQM before the announcement of the national lithium strategy, launched on April 20.
In a dialogue with Radio Biobío, the former Minister of Energy also stated that he had a meeting with the president and general manager of SQM.
“They went to see me in my (Codelco) office, I was with two or three of the main executives, to tell me that they considered that lithium was very important to give it a boost, that it was very important to increase production, that it was very important that the State take action on this matter, and define a policy that would promote and develop that," Pacheco said.
When asked which SQM executives he met with, he explained that they were the company's president, Gonzalo Guerrero, and the general manager, Ricardo Ramos.
Pacheco ruled out having had or the possibility of having talks with Julio Ponce Lerou, a shareholder of the Pampa group, which has the largest ownership interest in SQM, with 25.76%. "This is not a negotiation with a natural person, this is a conversation with a legal person," he said of his decision.
The meeting with SQM, however, was not to discuss the national lithium strategy (NLP) announced in April. From SQM they said that the meeting held with Codelco occurred within the framework of various meetings that the company has had with authorities and other actors -including private mining companies-, to explain their plans in the lithium business. In September 2022, the company launched the so-called Salar Futuro, a plan that commits investments of US$1.5 billion, but which is subject to making the lease contract with Corfo more flexible, which ends in 2030. At SQM, they are interested in talking with Codelco about the opportunities that the rise of electromobility has opened up for the two main mining companies in Chile today, copper and lithium. In addition, SQM raised the issue of the Salar de Maricunga with Codelco, a deposit where Codelco has assets and a CEOL (Special Lithium Operation Contract) and where SQM also has concessions.
Codelco has rights equivalent to 18% of the surface of the salt flat, for some 2,500 hectares, all of which are pre-1979 belongings, which enables them to exploit lithium. In Maricunga, SQM has 33 concessions for approximately 6,600 hectares, all dating back to 1979.
Throughout his interview with Bio Bio, Máximo Pacheco defended the negotiating role that Codelco was been given in the definition of the policy to promote the development of the lithium industry, noting that the negotiations, both with SQM and Albemarle, will be carried out in institutional way, and respecting the exploitation contracts that both companies maintain in the Atacama salt flat, until 2030 and 2043, respectively.
In particular, he (Pacheco) highlighted the requirement that Codelco or ENAMI participate with 51% ownership in future lithium exploitation contracts, as well as the role of the public-private association for the future of the industry.
“Lithium, as a project, is going to be a joint venture like the one we have in El Abra and like the one we also have in Los Bronces. We are partners in other mining projects, and here we are going to be partners with the characteristics indicated by the President of the Republic, with two considerations: that it has 51% ownership and that the contracts in force with the companies that are currently in the salt flat they are fully respected”, stressed Pacheco.
"We are going to sit down with these companies, we are going to see the wonderful negotiations that are here, the tremendous opportunity that we have as a country," he added about the nature of the negotiation that the state mining company will face.

ENAMI appoints the first board of directors of its new lithium subsidiary
by Victor Chest
ENAMI Litio is chaired by Nancy Pérez Ojeda, a former Codelco who joined ENAMI's board of directors last year. ENAMI's executive vice president, Jaime Pérez de Arce, says that the subsidiary's board of directors is provisional, since he must propose a new corporate structure in three months, different from the one ENAMI has.
The National Mining Company, ENAMI, advances in the government order to develop lithium exploration and exploitation projects in the Chilean salt flats, a task that was also assigned to Codelco in the case of the strategic position in the Salar de Atacama. The global policy, defined in its broad strokes, must now be structured in its details: which salt flats will be considered strategic and will therefore have state control; which salt flats will be defined as non-strategic; and which will be reserved for environmental protection, which will be 30% of the total. The meeting that Codelco had with the president and general manager SQM before the National Lithium Strategy (NLP)
Even with these pending definitions, Codelco and ENAMI are advancing in the development of their respective teams. While Codelco has already been working for months to negotiate with the operators of the Salar de Atacama, the largest Chilean lithium deposit; ENAMI created a subsidiary in December 2022, called ENAMI Litio SpA. And that subsidiary already has a board of directors.
The subsidiary's board is chaired by Nancy Pérez Ojeda, who has been on the ENAMI board of directors since April 2022, appointed by President Gabriel Boric. Civil Engineer in Computer Science from the Federico Santa María Technical University, Nancy Pérez has a master's degree in environmental law, in bio-law, and another in innovation. She was also a project excellence manager at Codelco and since 2019 she had been director of Engineering and Construction Transformation, as well as Project Portfolio manager.
The board of the subsidiary ENAMI Litio is made up of eight people and the executive vice president of ENAMI, Jaime Pérez de Arce, and the entity's prosecutor, Marcelo Rocha, also participate. Also participating are Carlos Claussen, elected to ENAMI by the National Mining Society, SONAMI, the business union that has the right to nominate two representatives in the sector development company, and Carlos Espinoza, appointed by the Institute of Engineers. Three other ENAMI directors are also in the new subsidiary: Juan Carlos Román, director elected by the Ministry of Finance, Osvaldo Urzúa, by CORFO, and Leandro Voisin, by presidency.
Pérez de Arce says that the appointment of the ENAMI Litio board of directors is provisional. "This board must work on a final board proposal in three months," he told Pulso. The idea, says Pérez de Arce, is for there to be a separation between the boards and teams of ENAMI and those of its new lithium subsidiary. Therefore, it could happen that the members of both directories are different. The subsidiary's board of directors must also define how to carry out the government's mandate to develop the exploration and exploitation of lithium, salt by salt. "You have to look in each of the cases under what policy they will be," De Arce replies about the definitions still pending regarding which deposits will be strategic and which will not.
ENAMI has properties in two salt flats, Aguilar and Infieles, but has asked the Ministry of Mining to grant it a Special Contract (CEOL)
