Dear Gabby Boric, well... duty calls again from your primary constituents... it is time for you go address (and hold their soft sweet-smelling no-blisters hands) on all the queers again before solving the Nation's health care, retirement pensions, mining, ministerial infighting, tax-reform, Mapuche-uprisings, never-ending labor-union bitching, sinkholes-by-Martians-stealing-copper, NLC creation, bureaucratic corruption, establishing your Plan-B for a failed plebiscite September 4, new legislation for minimum-wages and much more of course.

Whoa,_WSJ takes_off the_gloves and_bashes horse's-ass banana-republic Chile
https://www.wsj.com/articles/electric-cars-batteries-lithium-triangle-latin-america-11660141017
“Latin America specializes in killing golden geese and one of the quickest ways to do so is through resource nationalism,” said Benjamin Gedan, a Latin America expert at the Washington-based Woodrow Wilson Center who closely tracks the region’s lithium industry. “This boom could very quickly turn to bust if bad policies are brought forward”... WSJ.
Dear WSJ, you need to understand that Chile is currently being overrun by Venezuelan-type greedy thieving snake-in-the-grass backstabbing commies who believe that everything of value previously made/created by hard-working conservative good people over the last 25 years but certainly since Allende (and especially that disaster Bachelet) belongs to them now that they are in power again. On top of all that misery Chile also has a completely lithium tone-deaf Minister of Anti-Mining named Marcela Hernando in power whose only goal is to squash private lithium miners thinking all her lesbo/dyke girlfriends can easily step in to mine the lithium in Chile with one hand tied behind their butch pantsuits from Walmart after they rip away 51% of each lithium miner's equity/company/investment.
If the new Constitution Rewrite plebiscite fails on September 4 then there is a decent chance that Chile can go into a safe "catch our breath" holding pattern not destroying the lithium industry any further. If the center-right, right-wing or the fascists can return to power in 2026 (or mommy's boy Gabby Boric can be recalled similar to the never-ending process going on in Peru now to unseat that nitwit leftist moron Pedro Castillo) then there is a chance that free-enterprise and capitalism can recover in Chile in 2026 putting lithium mining back on track... assuming the the conservatives can stuff a rag in the always open gimme-gimme mouths of all the LGBT/Eco-terrorizing-blackmailing-indians/Maduro-brainwashed-leftists/moochers/freeloaders currently clogging up the previously-efficient wheels of industry/growth in Chile.

But there is no mention of the ENAMI mine's location in the request documents submission. Hmmm, I seem to recall the Minister of Anti-Mining Marcela Hernando had a big problem with mine locations not being fully detailed in Pinera/Jobet's 2021 Lithium Tender for 5 LCE exploitation permits of 80,000mt each...

Dear_TheGekko, once_again you_are clueless...on the_new constitution_this time
https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/lpi-the-next-lithium-producer-in-chile.6650218/page-1224?post_id=63031341
APPROVAL of the Constitution Rewrite September 4 is the kiss of death for all junior lithium miners in Chile as it opens the door to reclassifying lithium as a water and playing right into the greedy conniving thieving parasitic hands of the Mapuche et al indians who want to have all brine lithium mining subjected to the their ancient Inca gods' laws on water flowing down from the higher elevations... which is bound to eventually include an additional 25% kickback from the lithium miners to the Inca gods... ie that 25% paid to gods via sticky fingers "middlemen/facilitators" Mapuche witch doctors all coincidentally driving brand new fully tricked-out 2023 Mercedes Benz electric cars.
REJECTION of the Constitution Rewrite September 4 is our salvation for us junior lithium miners when coupled with the current attempt in the Lower Chamber of Deputies to approve a new resolution to implement a reduced new 4/7 majority approval (as opposed to the high bar 2/3 majority) https://www.latercera.com/politica/noticia/avanza-en-la-camara-comision-de-constitucion-aprueba-reforma-de-47-y-sera-discutida-el-miercoles-en-la-sala/U4527E5OZJEMDE3LIOERO2VZZI/ to initiate/repeal/approve articles/amendments to the constitution.
1. WE NEED A REJECTION OF THE CONSTITUTION REWRITE ON SEPTEMBER 4.
2. We need the 4/7 approving quorum enacted in the Lower Chamber of Deputies AND the Senate.
3. We then need the Chilean Congress in total to repeal the Pinochet era Strategic Mineral Classification on Lithium lorded over by the useless/corrupt bureaucrats at CChEN and allow LCE export quota licenses to be sold to the miners within their EIA approval/guidelines (eg 80,000mt over 20 years for an estimated $60,000,000 per whack up front payable to the Federal Chilean Comptroller is do-able) or for these licenses even to simply be treated like copper, gold, silver, and soon cobalt in terms of allowable export quota (per the miner's approved SEA sustainability parameters) which immediately will break the back of the Chilean Lithium mafia in Chile and start refilling the depleted State tax coffers in Chile.
4. Congress then needs to allow SQM & Albemarle to buy their Atacama land and the JV position from landlord CORFO at market rate and then run their lithium mines like a normal White man (with un-subsidized/sham property/machinery depreciation and full capital improvement/enhancement at the miner's discretion/ability) would run a standard taxable business which immediately levels the entire playing field for all lithium miners in Chile.

Yes, dear lithium miners/shareholders... close your eyes and imagine the Chilean currency tied into a singular South American currency with Argentina, Venezuela and Brazil as your "partners".

Beware_the 15_days after_the September-4 plebiscite_on Constitution_REJECTION
if you are a lithium-sensitive reader/voter/shareholder. The new constitution rewrite if ever approved will have lithium classified a water (to the glee of every scamming indian witch doctor in Chile) within a year of enactment putting us nearly out of business once Boric then creates the Ministry of Water surely/supremely headed by an indian.
Leftist Senators quickly realizing the September 4 vote on the new constitution looks like it will be a 56% rejection of the current 155-delegate rewrite version are undertaking to implement the Frankenstein motion to resurrect this abomination rewrite process within 15 days of the (rejection) vote by enacting a motion in the current congress to allow another 9 month (plus 3 month extension) 155-delegate rewrite of the rewrite https://www-diarioconstitucional-cl.translate.goog/2022/08/06/senadores-buscan-asegurar-la-continuidad-del-proceso-constituyente-en-caso-de-ganar-la-opcion-rechazo/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US
Such an a additional process would short-circuit the logical re-implementation of the existing constitution and throw Chile into another 12-18 month financial/investment abyss as every Whitey gringo with more than half a brain goes full-stop on any further investment in Chile. And it goes without saying, these protesting leftist Senators would once again attempt to hijack the 155-delegate convention by front-end loading the majority members with leftists/commies/indians/carpetbaggers/anti-Neo-liberals/capitalism-haters/Russian-Chinese-sympathizers and the ubiquitous LGBT-ers... to once again produce another bloated commie Venezuelan-loving wealth-gutting manifesto.

I am going to take a wild guess here but I will be taking bets that Gabby Boric is going to be trying to dissuade Luis Arce from signing a huge 100% nationwide inclusive overpowering lithium mining contract with Uranium One (ie Russia/Putin) in December https://news.mongabay.com/2022/06/why-russia-should-not-win-the-bid-for-bolivias-lithium-commentary/ and instead setting a cap on how much lithium the Russians can mine to a safer/preferable 25% (or 33% fail-safe maximum) of yearly output by volume in Bolivia thereby allowing the 5 other bidders (ie gringos, Germans, Japs) to counterbalance Putin (and Iran) by mining/using the remaining 75% (or 67% minimum) between them. And you can bet that the Vice President of Iran, Seyed Mohammad Hosseini, will be sitting in on that meeting between Boric and Arce (ie Chile and Bolivia).
Boric will also be discussing what Arce will accept as the absolute minimum width (in tens of kilometers instead of hundreds of kilometers) for a redrawn Red Corridor "through" Chile connecting Bolivia to the Pacific Ocean on which to build a 4ft 8.5inch wide railroad to carry Bolivian lithium out of the country and eventually on to Russia (for the next rendition of the upcoming drone wars)... and that same railroad will be used to "fart" Venezuelan heavy crude "out the back door" of South America (thereby avoiding US sanctions in the Atlantic Ocean) and on to China after a new pipeline is built (with Iranian money) from Venezuela "straight" to Bolivia after leftist Lula wins in Brazil.
Since mommy's boy leftist Gabby Boric basically has no gringos as allies to come to Chile's defense in 2023-2024 he will be at the mercy of Bolivia with its Russian and Iran "backers" so he needs to sweet-talk cajole Arce this weekend into minimizing the Red Corridor "dent" Bolivia is going to make into Chile's land mass and Chile's lithium quota (or more specifically, Chile's lithium non-quota since the diehard commies/scammers in Chile looking for their slimy payoffs/kickbacks have already pretty well jammed-up future production in Chile).

Joe's rationale for upgrading the The Big 4 in lithium production into the The Big 8 in lithium production is spot on. I haven't been such a big fan of Joe's jazzed-up podcasting analysis shows over the last 2 years but this article in Mining Press is very applicable for today's overall rampant half-assed-ness situation in lithium mining follow-through coupled with his wise chastisement/encouragement to actually perfect mining operations sufficiently before pulling the trigger on production.

to stave off devaluation https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-02/argentina-is-running-out-of-cash-needed-to-stave-off-devaluation
Ooooooo, tough luck there Bunky. Collateral damage is about to get real messy for Argentinian lithium miners in the upcoming devaluation domino-effect I would venture to say. And according to Bloomberg even the IMF is finished bailing out these current thieves (Fernández & Kirchner), see paragraph 6 in linked article.
Our lithium sympathies go out to you this day.

At-long last_a straight-talker named_FreeflyerNZ posts/clarifies on_LPI-HotCopper
https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/lpi-the-next-lithium-producer-in-chile.6650218/page-1136?get_post=true
It is a breath of fresh air to hear/see a realist brave enough to post on that pump & dump LPI-HotCopper every so often to counter all the happy-happy recycled/pie-in-the-sky/preposterous_horse excrement we get from BushStar, Arcpro, TheGekko and FrankRockefield on that message board with their insider robot "paid" moderator who deletes anything even halfway negatively said/posted about LPI or LPI management which let's face it are the undisputed dregs of incompetent/arms-length/remote management.
It is a pity that additional people don't speak up on LPI-HotCopper more often to better discuss/enunciate the pitfalls still ahead of us in this corrupt conniving two-bit back-stabbing outhouse_#2_repository banana-republic Chile. There was a 5-month window of opportunity we could have made something of ourselves (ie NewCo) in Chile under Pinera/Jobet September 2021 to January 2022 but we refused to publicly come out of our protective turtle shell in favor of BYD/Warren-Buffet & Francisco Javier Errázuriz (SIMCO) and thus we squandered our one solid chance at glory/fame/success, so now as FreeflyerNZ is almost saying today... our next chance at glory/fame/success won't come until 2026 and the next election. But what is indeed coming soon as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow is another painful CR (capital raise) for LPI to keep these current management dummies/fakes in comfort for another year of doing nothing after nearly 5 successful years of doing absolutely nothing productive for us shareholders.
And please don't say the present-day LPI management was/is responsible for the current DFS, EIA and getting long-running salmon-farming financiers Mitsui to pretend they are the White Knight on this project... these three inevitable milestones were put into irretrievable motion by Martin Borda & Luis Saenz in 2016 long before LPI was only brought into the picture to be the White faceman and the "bumbling" bagman to grease these deals through the self beaner hating bureaucracy designed to break the chain back to the two founding fathers. .

Gabby_Boric wants our_suggestions on_fixing the constitution

Rough translation to English.
Dear Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric, cut all the crap out of the constitution that rewards the left-wing professional victims/moochers/free-loaders/scammers with unearned free food/housing/money and repeal the Pinochet-era self-serving Strategic Mineral classification on Lithium... if you can accomplish those two items then we will be fairly happy from our junior lithium miners' point of view.

Chile's Codelco posts 35% drop in H1 pre-tax profit
https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/chiles-codelco-posts-35-drop-in-h1-pretax-profit-2858318
If any of you gullibles out there still think Codelco is going to partner up with NewCo or the newly reconstituted MSB anytime soon then I have a bridge in Brooklyn New York I would like to sell to you real cheap cheap. Codelco can barely hold its own penis up anymore at the executive room urinal much less get into the lithium business which it knows barely nothing about and would deliberately like to secretly remain clueless/ignorant about.
The Doctor
PS, Dear Codelco, sell your Maricunga 325,000mt LCE export license to Warren Buffet at BYD for US$270,000,000... take the money... chalk the deal up to good luck... pay down US$200,000,000 of your existing US$31.4B debt... take the US$70,000,000 remainder and plug/fix your immediate problems with it.

Crisis in Argentina: the Government appointed a new Minister of Economy

Dear gullible Lithium miners in Argentina, as we tried to tell you 6 months ago the insatiable IMF wants a fat 50% of the profits/gravy you thought you were going to make clear mining lithium in Argentina... and the IMF is definitely going to get their perceived share (ie their "pound of flesh") once their inside man is firmly installed/cemented into the current government.
Sooooo.... tough luck amigos.
The Doctor
PS, Dear Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric, this Argentina mess next door is a very good example for you to learn a worthwhile lesson from at minimal expense to you today... you want to avoid at all costs getting in bed with the IMF and having your next colonoscopy examination probe entrance increased by 2 or 3 times a couple years before your doctor even exams you again for polyps.
Ah_yes, the_2 cents_cash payment_frosting on_the cake._5+2=7 cents correcto.
The 2 cent payment is from Gil Playford to close out our $2.5M bank account... I forgot about that, but you're right. That 2 cents needs to be factored into the equation if you're going to pump buying BLILF over LTHHF.
The Doctor
Climber18, LTTHF_is at_US$0.40 today._If the_consolidation happened today_then
you as a Bearing shareholder would get US$0.28 for each US$0.23 share of BLILF you own... so in effect you would be making an "extra" 5 cents on the consolidation transaction which one could argue (as you are apparently) is indeed a fairly good reason to buy BLILF (Bearing) today as opposed to buying LPI (ie LTHHF) today.
