Fake_News story_Chile is_interested in_joining bullsheet Lithium_OPEC
being pumped by Argentina’s mining undersecretary Fernanda Avila at PDAC https://www.mining.com/south-america-looks-at-creating-lithium-opec/
Chile will never join Argentina who will be going through a currency inflation meltdown later in the coming year.
And Chile will most certainly never join super left-wing Bolivia (with its ultra-high magnesium concentrated lithium, spit, spit) who still wants to take the Red corridor from Chile as Hugo Chavez once promised Presidente Evo Morales he and his successor would help to make a reality so "he could bathe on a Bolivian beach" https://www-ex--ante-cl.translate.goog/jose-rodriguez-elizondo-a-10-anos-de-la-muerte-de-chavez-el-chavismo-sigue-vivito-y-coleando-incluso-en-chile/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp see paragraph 15 under question "What consequences did it have". Venezuelan "successor" President Nicolas Maduro has every intention of one day helping Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Iran (and maybe Brazil) taking that Red Corridor from Chile and giving it back to Bolivia in order to have access to the Pacific Ocean... and those beaches Hugo Chavez wanted to bathe on.
This talk of a Lithium OPEC is fake news by Argentina only created to scare/lure more Whitey investors into honeypot Argentina before the IMF has to give Argentina another loan and then of course take a new even higher percentage of the "cut" off-the-top coming from lithium exports to pay down Argentina's growing IMF debt. Lithium in Argentina will always be the indentured servant to Argentina's growing IMF debt whose principal loan amount never gets paid down by drunken-sailor-on-shore-leave Argentina.

Every delay lately in Mommy's Boy Gabby Doric's government seems to be the result of something ex-president Sebastian Pinera said or did.
The leftists/commies want to strangle/road-block every new enterprise (especially susceptible lithium miners) trying to start up in Chile to the point that the new companies are forced to come begging the sadistic government/parliamentarians to let them proceed in exchange for outrageous shares in their companies or exorbitant percentages (bribes, payoffs, kickbacks or juicy fat maintenance contracts for their in-laws) to lift their restrictions and issue the long overdue approvals/permits to proceed.

Ha. You're a fool then. SQM and Tianqi aren't best buddies and there is no love lost between them over buying into us... in fact SQM specifically spells out in every annual report in perfect judicial clarity that Tianqi is a "competitor" which is the diplomatic polite euphemistic term to describe your "enemy" and therefore a singular party that does not deserve to see your most confidential corporate papers/policies/trade-secrets even though Tianqi is a major 23.13% shareholder in SQM. Still don't believe me? Then read it for yourself in a current SQM annual report on PDF page 17 second paragraph from the bottom of that page https://s25.q4cdn.com/757756353/files/doc_financials/2021/ar/SQM-20F_2021_FINAL.pdf
If Tianqi even remotely thinks they are going to get a royal screwing in 2030 when SQM terminates the Atacama Region II lease with CORFO then who can blame Tianqi for trying "early" in 2023 to acquire more private lithium mining property in Chile for a brand "new run" at lithium mining here less the ballbusting constraints of CORFO? If Tianqi gets fully onboard with Willy Kracht's upcoming private lithium tenders in the next two months then I think we can all safely assume what Tianqi's plan is going to be in Chile and more specifically in Maricunga.

Translation of the story follows:
Codelco is open to an alliance with private companies to exploit lithium from the Maricunga salt flat.
by Víctor Cofré
The president of Codelco climbed this week to 3,770 meters in the Maricunga salt flat to review the lithium exploration that ends this year. "The campaign has been a success," says Máximo Pacheco. Next will come the design of the business model. And a possible alliance with other companies have mining holdings in the salar. "An important role of Codelco is to contribute, to articulate and associate the efforts of other companies that have interest there and have developed their exploration work", summarizes Pacheco.
In his mountaineering days, Máximo Pacheco climbed the Ojos del Salado, a 6,893-meter-high volcano. This week he returned to the area, but lower. On Thursday he was in the Maricunga salt flat, 3,770 meters above sea level and almost 60 kilometers from Ojos del Salado. There, a hundred people - including Codelco officials and external employees who work shifts of 10 days on and 10 days off are developing a lithium exploration campaign that began in March 2022, stopped in June due to bad weather conditions and restarted in October. They have already drilled 1,318 meters in four drill holes already completed and two others with partial progress. The completion of drilling, enabling and pumping of wells will be done in May and hydro-geological modeling will begin in June.
From his first visit to the Maricunga salt flat, Pacheco remarked: "The exploration campaign has been a success," he summarizes. "I was able to confirm that the results we are obtaining are very promising. It is good news for us to know that what we are exploring is giving better results than we expected in terms of depth and lithium concentration". What does that mean? "That we thought there was lithium up to a certain depth and today we see that it is even deeper," he answers.
From December 2020 to 2023, Codelco will have invested some US$ 23 million in exploration. After completing this last phase of the process, it will have to define the future of the project: "Then comes the stage of defining the business model, the technology to be applied, and that is the next stage". According to the chairman of the board of directors, this could happen as soon as 2023: "I think so, because everything indicates that we will have completed the exploration campaign and as soon as that happens we will start defining the business model, the technology and the construction".
Lithium is the business of the moment. SQM, the largest local producer, announced this week profits in 2022 of almost US$ 4 billion and payments to the State of more than US$ 5 billion. In the latter (ie payments to the State), it will surpass Codelco.]/b] Lithium is at its peak price, something that Codelco cannot take advantage of immediately: Maricunga is still several years away. "In mining, nothing is done overnight: mining projects take ten, twelve years. And we have already been six years in this," says Pacheco, who believes that in any case Codelco will be able to be part of the lithium boom. "I hope that we will be able to take advantage of this price reality that is very attractive today".
SQM, as well as the other producer present in Chile, Albemarle, are located in the Atacama salt flat, whose properties they lease from CORFO and for which they pay extraordinary royalties. This salt flat is one of the most valuable assets in the world, due to its lithium concentration, its location and its solar radiation. Maricunga is different.
"Most of the salt flats are in the Norte Grande of Chile and Maricunga is the salt flat that is located farthest south. By size, it is one tenth of the Atacama salt flat," compares Pacheco. So far, according to Codelco, Maricunga is the second best salt flat in Chile in terms of lithium concentration. The state-owned company has holdings in the Pedernales salt flat, but it is not a priority. "We are focused on Maricunga".
Partners in Maricunga
The State, in Michelle Bachelet's second government, in 2016, commissioned Codelco to study the economic potential of lithium at Maricunga. In 2018, almost at the end of the government, Bachelet granted Codelco a Special Lithium Operating Contract (CEOL), an essential instrument to exploit a mineral that by law is not concessionable. From that date onward, Codelco obtained the necessary environmental permits.
But there is an obstacle: other private companies have holdings in Maricunga, although they do not have their respective CEOLs. One of them is an alliance between SIMBALIK, an Asian fund, and the Errázuriz group, called SIMCO. The other is Minera Salar Blanco, with which Codelco HAD an alliance to develop Maricunga, which ended in 2020.
Both private groups recently announced that they intend to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in Maricunga. SIMCO pledges US$ 600 million. Salar Blanco, another US$ 700 million. But neither has CEOL. Are they going too far in their announcements? "I am chairman of the board of Codelco, it is not my job to be a spokesperson for other companies," Pacheco responds.
Another issue closes the way for these companies: Codelco has asked the Ministry of Mining to extend the state-owned company's mining rights to the entire Maricunga salt flat, a claim that threatens to open a legal dispute with the other mining companies with holdings in the same basin. Pacheco suggests the option of an alliance.
"The Maricunga salt flat has very important characteristics. It is very difficult to have many companies participating in this and, therefore, an important role of Codelco is to contribute to articulate and associate the efforts of other companies that have an interest there and have developed their exploration work. In the definition of the business model, we are probably going to look at how Codelco is able to articulate other companies to work together on this project".
Q. Have you talked to these companies about a possible partnership?
A. Yes, in fact the talks started in the past, four or five years ago. These are conversations that are always open. It is a fact of the case that there is a lot of interest in the planet for lithium, there are many companies that need it for their own developments, electromobility, energy storage, for decarbonization and then we regularly receive companies that visit us proposing and suggesting that we can work together on these projects.
Q. In a private partnership, would Codelco maintain control?
A. It is a discussion that we are going to start when we finish the exploration campaign and it will be related to the business model and the type of technology we are going to use.
Q. Have you talked with SQM about a possible alliance?
A. No.
Q. I imagine that Codelco would not consider a partnership with SQM.
A. In time perhaps.
Q. How are you strengthening yourselves to address this challenge?
A. We know mining, we know business, we know business organization, we know how to build and lead teams. This is a company that is extraordinarily strong, robust and powerful in this respect.

"On the right to extract lithium covered by belongings derived from the Mining Code of 1932"
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:UajdexDo4pwJ:https://www.elmercurio.com/legal/noticias/opinion/2023/03/02/912058/derecho-extraer-litio-salar-maricunga.aspx&hl=en&gl=us&strip=0&vwsrc=0
by Alvaro Anriquez and Ernesto Vargas March 2, 2023
In this column we take charge of the point made by the professor of Mining Law Cristián Quinzio, by way of justifying the assumption that gives rise to our previous opinion, that is, that any belonging to the current CM 1932 and whose measurement and manifestation record have been registered before January 1, 1979 has lithium not reserved to the State within its purpose...
Motivated by the controversy generated by a request from Codelco regarding a Special Lithium Operation Contract (CEOL) in the Maricunga Salar, at the end of 2022 we argued in this same media that a conflict between, on the one hand, holders of 1932 Mining Code (CM 1932) properties with lithium not reserved to the State and, on the other hand, of a CEOL that grants exclusivity to its holder to exploit the lithium within its coverage could be resolved by applying a CEOL that grants exclusivity to its holder to exploit the lithium within its coverage.This could be solved by applying the logic with which private law deals with conflicts between holders of incompatible rights with respect to the same object. This view has deserved two different answers. The first one, by the distinguished professor of Mining Law, Cristián Quinzio, questions one of the assumptions of our proposal. The second, authored by Professor of Public Law Marcelo Mardones, implicitly doubts the rationality of resorting to Private Law to solve the conflict.
In this column we only take up the point made by Professor Quinzio, by way of justifying the assumption that gives rise to our previous opinion, that is, that any CM 1932 property in force and whose act of measurement and manifestation have been registered before January 1, 1979 has lithium not reserved to the State within its object. In a future column we hope to refer to the opinion of Professor Mardones.
The assumption
Professor Quinzio rightly identifies that our column starts "from the assumption that the holders of mining properties in the Salar de Maricunga, with whom the conflict with the CEOL holder could arise, are entitled to non-reserved lithium". In his opinion, the real problem would be to determine - in accordance with the relevant Mining Law rules - whether such assumption corresponds to the reality of the Salar: if it were not, as Professor Quinzio seems to suggest, our thesis would be irrelevant, since there would be no collision of rights whatsoever.
However, as we explain in the following paragraphs, our assumption is not unfounded: Chilean Mining Law does indeed recognize the right to exploit lithium to the holders of the belongings that are the subject of this column. Explaining why requires understanding that the transitional regime of the current mining property system modified the object of the CM 1932 appurtenances to make them compatible with its own principles, in particular, with a design whose policy is that each appurtenance grants its holder the right to exclusively exploit all the concessionable substances located within its coverage. While these are technical rules of mining law, understanding them is of interest for a number of general problems, including the application of the law over time and the transit between ownership systems.
The logic of CM 1932 and DL 2886.
The CM 1932 recognized at least two types of appurtenances: those of the first paragraph of art. 3°, which could be granted on a large number of substances detailed in the same Code, including lithium ("Pertenencias del Inciso Primero") and belongings of the second paragraph of the same article, which were granted on other fossil substances ("Pertenencias del Inciso Segundo"). The Decree Law 2886 of 1979 (DL 2886) reserved lithium to the State, by removing it from the list of substances of the first clause of art. 3° CM 1932 and adding it to the list of substances reserved to the State by art. 4° CM 1932. However, in its art. 5° the same DL exempts from this reservation the lithium existing in Pertentions (definition: attempting to impress by affecting greater importance) of the first clause which, at the date of its publication "have their act of measurement registered, are in force, and whose manifestation, in turn, has been registered before January 1, 1979". Therefore, it is commonplace to affirm that any First Clause Property that complies with the requirements of timeliness and validity established by DL 2686 authorizes its holder to exclusively exploit the lithium within its coverage. Consequently, if such belongings exist in the Maricunga Salt Flat, an eventual modification to the CEOL of Codelco's subsidiary in the sense of authorizing it for the exclusive exploitation of lithium in that salt flat, would generate the collision of rights that is the assumption of our thesis.
The problem is that, according to our best understanding, in the Salar de Maricunga there are only Second Subsection Pertentions that meet the requirements of art. 5 of DL 2686. Under CM 1932, these properties only allowed their holder to exploit the substance for which they had been granted, among which lithium was not included. Therefore, at the time of its enactment, DL 2886 could not be interpreted in the sense of exempting the Pertenencias del Inciso Segundo from the legal reservation of lithium, for the simple reason that they did not give the right to exploit such substance. In line with the above, DL 2886 only exempted from the lithium legal reserve the Pertentions of the First Section.
Transition from the CM 1932 law to that of the current regime.
The object of the Second Clause Pertentions changed as a result of the transitory norms of the mining regime emanating from the 1980 Constitution, the Organic Law of Mining Concessions (LOCCM) and the 1983 Mining Code (CM 1983). Pursuant to such norms, the Pertenencias del Inciso Segundo incorporated, with exclusivity, all the substances that had not been granted to them but that were accessible at the time of their incorporation that were within their coverage.<br><br>
This incorporation derives from the design of the policy underlying the current mining regime: to grant the holder of any property exclusivity for the exploitation of all concessionable substances within its coverage. This policy was incompatible with the regulation of the CM 1932, since it allowed overlapping mineral properties for the exploitation of different mineral substances. Therefore, the CM 1983 explicitly repealed "any legal or regulatory provision contrary to or incompatible with the precepts of this [new] Code" and its art. 244 repealed only the CM 1932.
Regarding lithium, art. 3° LOCCM establishes that it is not subject to mining concession, without prejudice to the mining concessions duly constituted prior to the declaration of non-concessibility made by DL 2886.In turn, article 5 of DL 2886 identifies the properties that are exempted from the state lithium reserve, referring to article 3 of CM 1932. The question, then, is how to read art. 5 DL 2886 when the norm to which it refers has been repealed. In other words, the question to be answered is which are the properties that are exempted from the state reserve of lithium.
Application of mining law over time.
The problem under analysis is one of application of the law in time: to determine the legislation applicable at the present time to properties constituted under a repealed law. This problem was directly solved by the transitory provisions of the LOCCM and the CM 1983, which regulate the status of the mining rights acquired under the CM 1932 (previous law) during the validity of the CM 1983 (later law).
With respect to the Second Subsection Perquisites, these rules operate as follows:
(a) Art. 1° Trans. LOCCM establishes that the mining concessions existing at the entry into force of the CM 1983 shall subsist under the rule of the latter, but that, as to their enjoyment and charges and as to their extinction, the provisions of said Code shall prevail. That is to say, the rights granted to its holder by both the First and Second Clause Pertentions must be determined according to the CM 1983 and not to the CM 1932.
(b) Taking into account the new exclusive and all-encompassing nature of mining property, art. 2° Trans. LOCCM ordered the CM 1983 to determine the manner in which the mining concessions existing at the entry into force of that Code and not overlapping with others would be extended to the substances that were not originally granted within its coverage.
(c) In compliance with the above, No. 5 art. 1° Trans. CM 1983 provides that the sole ownership constituted, without distinguishing on which substance, incorporates to its object, first, "all the substances that were not granted" and, second, "those that, by virtue of Law No. 18,097 [LOCCM], become concessionable". Thus, said numeral includes the new principle of single and all-encompassing concession and applies it without contemplation to the CM 1932 belongings, openly empowering its holders to exploit all the substances located within its coverage.
(d) Regarding the identification of "all the substances that were not granted", it must be taken into account those that had the nature of concessionable at the time the respective ownership was constituted. This is the criterion adopted by the LOCCM (art. 11 N°2) and the 1983 CM (art. 53 sub. 2º), and it was also the approach followed by the CM 1932 (art. 82). For the rest, the alternative identification criterion (i.e., the entry into force of the LOCCM) makes the last part of the referred No. 5 redundant, and should therefore be discarded.
(e) The same principle justifies the rule enshrined in No. 7 art. 1 Trans. CM 1983 for a different application condition, namely, cases of overlapping of CM 1932 concessions. Pursuant to this rule, among other things, as from the entry into force of the CM 1983, the Second Clause Tenement that prevails over a First Clause Tenement with which it is juxtaposed (the latter tenement, which consequently expires) becomes unique in the granted coverage and entitles its holder to exploit any concessionable substance found therein. That is to say, any of the substances that appeared in inc. 1º and 2º of the repealed art. 3° CM 1932 at the time of constitution of the surviving appurtenance.
In Conclusion, the reference made by article 5 of DL 2886 to the repealed paragraph 1 of article 3 CM 1932 must be understood to be made to the transitory provisions of the LOCCM and of the CM 1983. These provisions establish, in what is relevant, that the holders of Second Clause Pertentions incorporate to them, among others, all the substances that had not been granted to them, but that were available at the time of their constitution. Consequently, the Pertentions of the Second Paragraph that "have had their act of measurement registered, are in force, and whose manifestation, in turn, has been registered before January 1, 1979" incorporate to them the lithium located within their coverage. This solution is in full harmony with the principle of the LOCCM and the CM 1983, according to which each property (i) is unique with respect to the area on which it is located (prohibition of overlapping) and (ii) entitles its holder to exploit all the concessionable substances located within its coverage (all-encompassing nature).
The eventual granting to Codelco's subsidiary of an exclusive CEOL for the exploitation of lithium in the Salar de Maricunga, consequently, would produce a collision of rights with the holders of mining rights derived from both First and Second Clause Pertentions in that salar. Determining how that collision should be resolved is an urgent problem. In our view, private law provides the best conceptual apparatus to do so.

Summary:
Juan Carlos Jobet, Sebastián Piñera's former Minister of Mining and Energy, defends the current government's proposal to incorporate private parties into the new lithium policy. "Asking the state to develop a lithium operating company from scratch is a bad idea." He adds: "Codelco has great capacities in copper, but lithium is a different business." He proposes a National Lithium Company that is not an operating firm, but a legal vehicle that receives the income from contracts with private parties.
Dear Juan Carlos Jobet, Please run for President of Chile in 2026.

We still don't have a copy of the new Charter for the NLC (National Lithium Company), we don't know exactly what percentage these leftist/commie thieves want of the new lithium companies, is it less than 49% or more than 51%? We have no idea how much seed money Boric's government is willing to "contribute" to each new lithium project, we don't know if the State is planning to set up a central consolidation point (ie collection point with certified scales) for the lithium (similar to what Argentina is trying to do) where the State pays the lithium miners a flat fee per tonne (estimate US$53,000/mt in Argentina) and then the Government physically sells the total "consolidated" lithium hoard on the open market for best price above $53,000/mt keeping all the excess profit https://miningpress-com.translate.goog/debate/352746/parrilli-vamos-a-regalar-el-litio?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp (See paragraph 19 for $53,000/mt "reference pricing"). We have no clue on what the new "preferential rights" for the new lithium miners will be... other than we miners will probably be able to reserve a dining table at Crystalballs' Chez Porky's Taco Bar for free. Willy is also conveniently avoiding mentioning if the new lithium miners will be given CChEN LCE licenses "directly" which underpin a mining company's market capitalized value (eg LPI's market cap value is AU$230M based on 15,200mtpa license ie US$647/mt) or will the Chilean State retain ownership of the CChEN LCE licenses thereby giving the new lithium miner $0 intrinsic value and $0 market cap?
What is really macabre in this newest Willy Kracht "peek" inside his loverboy's head (ie inside Boric's head) is that Willy is trying to feebly justify governor Miguel Vargas & Anti-Mining Minister Marcela Hernando's crapping on the BYD & Servicios y Operaciones Mineras del Norte SA "nullification through the left-wing Atacama courts" of the 80,000mt lithium tenders/licenses awarded in 2022 by saying the scamming blackmailing Camar & Coyo indians were boo-hoo boo-hoo upset over the fact lithium miners (eg BYD or Errázuriz) could start mining on their whorehouses-filled sacred lands (and junkyards)... when there isn't even any salar land or hardrock lithium land inside their boundaries of the land they stole from the Molle (300-700 AD) and Ánimas (700-1200 AD) indians who stole it from the Russian Eskimos/Inuits or vice-versa... geez, everything is stolen in Chile.
What is significant to take away from this latest Willy Kracht lithium-splaining hot mess is "there ain't gonna' be any additional lithium exploitation production work in Chile any time in Boric's first term as President... period". SQM and Albemarle still rule!

Eduardo_Bitrán... this is the worst nightmare for Maricunga... Eduardo Bitrán will immediately go for our jugular veins and stomp on everyone's grandfathered approvals, mark my words. Bitrán's philosophy in Chile is barbarically simple "all lithium belongs to us... and I (Eduardo) will give a very generous share of all the lithium I capture to the Chilean State in return for huge bonuses and top-tier high-paying government posts where I can exert my supreme god-like authority".
And I (your Doctor) here don't have to tell you who the us is in Bitrán's philosophy
If we haven't already hired the best attorneys in Chile by now, then we definitely will be within the week. We need to join SIMCO (and I suspect the private subsidiary of SQM Maricunga) in every lawsuit against Codelco there is because divided we will fall... Eduardo Bitrán will be ruthless.

DearWillyKracht,_I think_we're_beginning to_understand your NLC strategy
https://www-reporteminero-cl.translate.goog/noticia/noticias/2023/02/estrategia-nacional-litio-gobierno-licitaciones-exploracion-participacion-stado?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en
It appears that Chile's brand spanking new ENL or NLC (National Lithium Company) is quite similar to Mexico's brand spanking new Lithium Nationalization strategy.
First, you will be diplomatically evasive on specifying how much the government's partnering share in new lithium projects will be while continually only saying "it will be fair" in a way that sounds soothing/acceptable French wet-kissing our ears unlike your predecessor Marcela Hernando who when she said the same thing in her shrill screeching voice made every Whitey's askhole tighten to the point you couldn't even shove a thin drinking straw up it.
Second, you (ie the leftists/communista in Chile) will try valiantly to entice a 40 to 50 or so gullible Whitey investors (at PDAC Canada) into investing some US$15,000,000 to $30,000,000 locally each on engineering/consulting/testing/room-board/staff-expenses for "exploration permits" in each of some 50 potential lithium sites (TBD) in Chile which I can already tell you will not have near the lithium concentrations per liter of our Maricunga Project with the promise of future deliberately poorly-defined private lithium tenders however once again subject to immediate cancellation (see superfine teeny-tiny print in the auction announcement) most likely just before the award ceremony ala BYD & Errázuriz Groupo fiasco in April 2022 with Marcela Hernando's sit-on-her-hands let-them-drown non-help to BYD & Errázuriz Groupo.
Third, you will blow smoke up theasses of 20 or 25 of these "culled" Whitey investors for a year or two to spend another $20,000,000 to $35,000,000 on perfecting feasibility studies and engineering designs (including all proprietary designs) for the top 10 finalist lithium projects which you will demand to see all the copies of "for coordination" efforts/work with your new cadre of mostly female (says female on their IDs) recently graduated card-carrying leftist/commie engineers.
Fourth, you (ie the leftists/communista in Chile) will outright steal these designs at the 11th hour, sign a deal with the Federation of Copper Workers (FTC) union to surprise-surprise build the new lithium mines, and convince Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric to forego the next US$2,000,000,000 contribution from Codelco in 2024-2025 for social welfare programs while you all instead let poor Chilean citizens take another early-payout on their AFP pension programs and then redirect that $2B largess money from Codelco into trying to start up the top 2 or 3 newly-designed lithium mines from the initial 50 projects you presented to Whitey using the NLC charade... much like Mexico is attempting now.
Have I missed anything of importance?
I may have a couple items improperly delineated, but perhaps you can spend a few hours tidying up your new NLC plan before you head to PDAC in Canada looking for fresh gullible lithium Whitey investors and extend the simple courtesy to brief us old-time lithium investors long here in Chile (eg Lithium Chile inc, Wealth Minerals Ltd, SIMCO, LPI) who have been waiting over 10 years on your doorstep in Chile to get a chance to mine lithium.
