Dear_London Whiteys/gringos at_London Chile_Day listening_to some
more cock & bullhorseshit from Mario Marcel about you all "safely" investing in Chilean lithium NOW because these focking leftist/commies here have finally "straightened" everything out in this shithole Chile with respect to excessive taxes on businesses because regular individual citizens laugh at regular income taxes and don't pay them, ungodly 4-year long permitting applications, hare-brained punishing environmental regulations up your wazoo, Chile's 51% land grab thievery (on YOUR land), and every 1 in 2 corrupt politicians/bureaucrats in this commie government here... I have been here 11 years stuck on this same Maricunga lithium project and nothing has focking changed... believe me. https://www-latercera-com.translate.goog/pulso/noticia/marcel-ante-inversionistas-en-londres-las-perspectivas-de-inversion-privada-para-2023-2027-ya-estan-mejorando/2PUST6RUPZCIFO6KF3CTJCIXZA/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
If all you whiteys/gringos in London today want to just throw your money down the pisser then listen to smooth-talking likeable super-desperate cash-strapped Pied Piper Mario Marcel up on stage again and come invest in this shithole Chile. You all need to wait until this little sniveling pissant backstabbing Michele's Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric is either impeached, removed or voted-out of office along with his ultra-communista gang of self-enriching rapists before you come back to Chile with your open wallets. This place will rape you dry everyday you are here looking for investments (or trying to even account for the seed money you spent)... including money in the national pension fund which is Mario's pet project and quickly turning into the biggest scam here as the commies convert it into their own personal piggy bank.

Argentina_going to_look for_lithium/rare-earths near_Buenos Aires
over next 4 months. If lithium is found in suitable quantity/qulaity to mine in this region of Argentina then their cost to produce a tonne and ship it to a "very nearby" deep water seaport for oceanic shipment to Europe will easily be under US$3,900/tonne whereas their "inland" Salta lithium with increased shipping could be pushing US$5,500/tonne plus. You would have to believe dozens of European lithium miners/developers will be flooding into Buenos Aires over the next 4 months buying/leasing land in anticipation of favorable findings... this would be a perfect very inviting (ie "work hard... play hard") mining town for rough/tough miners to work and live in/nearby https://miningpress-com.translate.goog/nota/357817/buenos-aires-oficializa-la-busqueda-de-litio-y-tierras-raras-la-resolucion?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

We don't even have a construction contract signed with a contractor yet... name one miner anywhere who is starting construction within the next 111 days who doesn't already have an iron-clad contract signed "in hand" for such major work as this on such a large scale. You can't... can you?
We need to fire everyone in LPI management now except Martin Borda and Russell Barwick in order to drop our overhead down to near zero, then lock the front door on the office for the next 2 years after we disconnect the phones and turn off the lights.

As of last Saturday I did not see one single surveyor on site laying out any stakes/grades, not one single port-o-let for construction workers, not one piece of earth-moving equipment, not one single roll of brine pond water-containing plastic liner "in reserve" which surely would have arrived by now since there is no way you (ie a bladed grader) can open up the "dusty" land without guaranteeing to the State that you would be ready to hermetically "seal" it back off within the 30-day grace period. Additionally, I see no temporary housing for construction workers nor do I see any elevated potable water storage tanks erected onsite for increased construction crews... there is nothing (ie no new "hardware") on site to indicate any construction is starting this year. Management is just blowing smoke up ourass again. And you are the gullible stupido again, not Rendog9.

Chile_has a_huge permitting_problem for_new miners._The "problem"
is that everychickenshit pretend-mulatto-Indian, eco-terrorist, corrupt bribe-taking politician/bureaucrat, high-level scammer, and grifter has managed to get this leftist/commie government to authorize their individual super-complicated "twisted sister" sub-permit legally acknowledged as wholly legitimate for holding up a miner on final permit until saidchickenshit pretend-hybrid-Indian, eco-terrorist, corrupt bribe-taking politician/bureaucrat, high-level scammer, and grifter has gotten his cash-under-the-table payoff/kickback from the latest sucker miner stuck in the hot seat. As you can see this regulatory system of "death by a 1,000 little permits" for a private miner is chaotic and extremely time-consuming wickedly designed to eventually put every miner out of business if he can't pay all the bribes to every scamming beaner in Chile.
Well, there is good news today. Fly-by-night used-car salesman Nicolas Grau is going to catalog all these important & nonsense sub-permits, rate them (on political party association plus size of bankroll), determine their "true" importance and create the streamlined "Grand Poobah Permitting" clusterfock for us miners... especially lithium miners https://www-ex--ante-cl.translate.goog/la-presentacion-del-ministerio-que-lidera-grau-sobre-la-reforma-que-busca-hacer-frente-a-la-permisologia-lea-el-documento/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Dear Nicolas, thanks... nowgofockyourself. There should be 5 lower-class sub-permits (as absolute maximum) and one final permit online for full transparent access by everyone. A designated six people (eg department, agency, ministerial, commission heads) as determined by the Congress (ie not the President) interface with the miner and these six people (alone) are required to sign (or reject) the permit application within 182 days of permit application submission ... all 6 signatures on one pink-colored card constitutes a valid final permit, that's it. If anyone of these six people fails to answer the sub-permit application then his/her sub-permit review is marked approved as submitted on day 183... end of problem and end of story. All the rest of these hundreds of sub-permits are totalhorseshit and only created to shakedown the new miners trying to get a start in Chile by forcing them to pay a bribe or give-up a share in their company in an unethical exchange for political help. It is as simple as that.

Oh_Lordy Lordy,_I've just today_discovered there_is a_permitting problem
on getting new lithium projects approved for construction because there is an inherent systemic excessive governmental/bureaucratic delay in getting over a thousand permits approved by every bloodsucking opportunistic scamming carpetbagging grifter/pretend-indian/eco-terrorist/extortionist in Chile prior to any new lithium miner getting his final-step LCE export quota license (for lithium exploitation) https://www-ex--ante-cl.translate.goog/ministra-de-mineria-aurora-williams-e-industria-del-litio-para-dar-certezas-se-debe-apurar-toda-la-tramitacion-de-permisos/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp which also no longer has any realistic mechanical method to get the LCE "quota per project" even issued owing to over 30 years of disuse and corruption in the CChEN/SEA.
Dear Aurora Williams, if you would have had graduated with an actual civil/mining engineering degree instead of an underachiever's 90-day wonder industrial engineering degree (ie a non-specific "token"bullshit degree created just for women) then you would have figured this huge problem out 9 years ago when you were in Michele Bachelet 2's government. On top of this bureaucratic permitting nightmare created by leftists/commies we also have a bigger problem in that we patiently-waiting lithium explorers/miners still don't know which salt-flat properties are going to be declared Strategic and which properties are going to be declared Non-Strategic so no one is doing jackshit in Chile on lithium mining.

===============================
Codelco returns to international markets with a debt issue to finance structural projects
Codelco announced on Tuesday the bond offer in New York, taking advantage of the restart of activity in the capital market, after the end of the summer holidays.
The offer includes 10-year and 30-year bonds. The results of the placement will be known during the afternoon.
This financing action seeks to ensure the availability of resources for the development of its demanding investment portfolio, which for this year will require a total of US$4.1 billion, the company said.
production goal
"This magnitude of capital is consistent with the higher level of activity of its structural projects, which are resuming their construction pace and which will contribute to increasing the company's production level to reach 1.7 million tons in 2030," he added. .
The structural projects that are at an advanced level of development are Chuquicamata Underground, New Mine Level and Rajo Inca.
The placement occurs in the midst of a complicated situation for the company, which has a high level of indebtedness and has registered a drop in its production and an increase in its costs, and after last week the risk rating agency Moody's reported that it had put the rating of the state mining company is under review.
Yesterday, the president of Codelco, Máximo Pacheco, said that he expects the market to maintain its confidence in the company despite the announcement by the rating agency.
Moody's has put the rating on review for a possible downgrade if credit metrics are not seen to improve in the next 12 to 18 months.

Luz's response to Lame Duck Gabby Boric getting all emotional and sappy for the 50th anniversary of Pinochet's coup in 1973 is priceless. When asked about Boric's obsession with September 11, 1973 and his plans to make it a big sacred overblown national remembrance day especially for stomping theshit out of the opposition right-wingers, the ever-witty Luz brilliantly replied "What happened on September 11, 1973 did not appear out of nowhere... without Allende there would have been no Pinochet".

The only thing I can safely talk about for now is hiring more lesbians, bull-dykes and full-blown queers in the mining industry (ie 15.2%) which will really gum up the wheels of progress in Chile if we hit just a few more percentage points because as we all know mining is really and will always be distinctly men's dirty work.
Dear Aurora, you are absolutely the same dingbat you were 6 years ago under Bachelet 2 and you will be just as deliberately unproductive for the next 2 years the same as Anti-Mining Marcela Hernando was under this sniveling small-minded "rob from the rich to pay the poor" little Michele's Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric. Our only advantage in having you in office now is that you don't have the brains to run for president like your predecessor and you surely won't have the smarts/charm/strong-arm to stop the repeal of the Strategic Mineral Classification bills working their ways through the Senate and the Lower Chamber.

about anything even halfway substantial like fixing the half-baked half-ass Michele's Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric's failing ridiculous pea-brained NLP (National Lithium Policy), or the lack of progress the pariah NLC bill is making in the Lower Chamber toward approval. And let's not talk about the long excruciating 4 months so far (ie since April 20) completely dead-in-the-water effort to even simply define in even the most basic terms which lithium properties in Chile are Strategic and which lithium properties are Not Strategic and let's also not talk about the previously touted (by Willy Kracht) long overdue Lithium Tenders offering that was set for later this year designed to get actual tangible physical LCE export quota Licenses (eg in 80,000 tonne increments) into the hands of real "qualified competent" junior lithium miners or the fact that not one single lithium miner has signed on the "dotted line" with Chile to mine any new lithium deposits in the last 14 years outside of SQM & Albemarle. Also let's not talk about what the total increase lithium production totals for all of Chile are going to be for 2024? 2025? 2026? Are they going to be increases of 100,000mtps? 150,000mtpa? 200,000mtpa? And most importantly let's not talk about OR COMMIT ON PAPER (by Mario Marcel and Congress) what new gringo lithium miners are actually going to face in FIRM taxes & Royalty rents over the next 10 year window with any measure of certainty.
But rather let's instead talk about how many more 90-day wonder night-school graduate leftist/commie lesbians/dykes/queers as new employees that we in the Ministry of Mining can force feed up theassholes of miners trying to ingratiate themselves to us overpaid unqualified pompous-ass bureaucrats in the Ministry of Mining and this leftist/commie government knowing full well these lesbians/dykes/queers will then be expected to turn around and vote leftist in the next election in repayment for their new cushy "make work" jobs in the "captive" mining industry. https://www-nuevamineria-com.translate.goog/revista/ministra-aurora-williams-sin-base-social-no-vamos-a-construir-la-mineria-que-queremos/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US

The confidential figures of SQM's contributions to the indigenous communities of the Salar de Atacama
by Victor Guillou
SQM maintains its investment plan for this year despite a sharp drop in profits
A document sent by Corfo to the Chamber of Deputies, responding to an official letter from PC deputy Boris Barrera, details how US$14.2 million have been distributed to date. Another US$20 million is yet to be distributed. The funds, corresponding to a percentage of lithium sales, are committed as part of the lease agreement between the company and the state agency, owner of the mining properties.
More than five years have elapsed since Corfo signed the re-negotiations of the lease agreements with SQM and Albemarle, in which the only companies that produce lithium in Chile promised to deliver a percentage of the sales of the so-called white gold to the Atacameño communities. . In fact, one of the clauses of said agreement establishes that in the case of the Chilean mining company, between US$10 million and US$15 million must be allocated annually for investment and development projects that promote the sustainable development of the communities that inhabit the basin. of the Atacama Salt Flat.
Since then, and according to a document sent by Corfo to the Chamber of Deputies, in response to an inspection letter from PC deputy Boris Barrera, the mining company in whose property Pampa Calichera and the Chinese Tianqi participate, has allocated a total of US$63.5 million to be distributed as contributions to indigenous communities, but from 2021 to date only US$14.2 million have been distributed.

This is explained for two reasons. The first, because the contributions charged to the results of 2018, 2019 and 2020 were grouped into a fund called the
1. AIA Accumulated Initial Contribution,
2. from which an advance of 30% would first be delivered to the communities that signed an agreement with Corfo.
3. Date disbursement.
4. Then, 70% would be delivered according to the progress of the initiatives.
5. Date fees charged at 70% AIA
6. Added to the above was a Supreme Court ruling that forced Corfo to carry out an indigenous consultation process for the contributions charged to the results from 2021 onwards, and that they keep US$28.9 million of the total contributions of the company blocked. mining for communities
Despite the fact that the official letter requests that the information be kept "in complete reserve and confidentiality", the document available on the Chamber's web portal reveals unknown details of how the contributions delivered up to this year have been distributed. In fact, it specifies the amounts and dates of the transfers made to 19 of the 21 communities that accepted the distribution formula approved by the Corfo Council (see table).

TOTALS $34,663,441 $9,561,227 $4,682,553 $20,419,661
Thus, of the US$63.5 million that SQM has allocated from its lithium sales between 2018 and 2022 to this objective, only US$35.6 million is in the process of being delivered to the 19 communities that entered into the agreement with Corfo. And of this, US$990 thousand were destined to finance the collaborating organization designated by SQM to provide the necessary support for the generation and organization of investment projects in the communities. This body corresponds to the Center of International Excellence of the Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI) of the University of Queensland. Thus, the communities were left with US$34.6 million to distribute.
The detail of the distribution shows that only two of the 19 communities have completed the delivery of the contributions available to them. These are Río Grande and Talabare, which concluded the receipt of the money in November 2022 and Energo in 2023, respectively.
However, it also highlights that of the total number of communities, two appear with assigned funds of over US$3 million. These are the communities of Toconao and San Pedro de Atacama. The figures respond to the fact that they are the most numerous communities of all, according to sources from the Council of Atacameños Towns.
indigenous consultation
Contributions from 2021 onwards "can only be delivered once Corfo carries out the indigenous consultation process ordered by the Supreme Court," recalls the official letter from the state entity sent to the Chamber of Deputies.
The foregoing responds to a ruling of August 26, 2022, in which the highest court accepted the claim of the Atacameña de Camar Indigenous Community filed against the process. Camar's claim questioned the formulas established by Corfo for the allocation of contributions.
Consulted, Corfo declined to give details on the progress of the indigenous consultation that will define the distribution of these contributions.
The formula approved by Corfo contemplates different weightings and criteria. 50% of the contributions are distributed equally among the 21 communities considered likely to receive contributions. Hence, the official letter details the amounts assigned to Camar and Machuca, despite not having signed the agreements with Corfo.
The other half of the funds are distributed as follows: 40% in proportion to the number of members in each community and the remaining 10% according to the distance of each community from SQM's work in the Salar de Atacama.
