Chinese_in Argentina_dupe Boric_into processing/shipping
their Argentinian-mined lithium in "easy-to-get-to" convenient Mejillones Chile sitting smack dab right on the Pacific Ocean coast https://www.latercera.com/pulso-pm/noticia/grupo-chino-que-construira-una-planta-en-mejillones-tambien-tratara-ahi-litio-proveniente-de-argentina/I7ZTTB5BOBDQ3IVRNDCF3ILQTE/
The Chinese in Argentina will ship their Argentinian lithium product due west back to China over nice straight Chilean taxpayer-paid paved concrete highways/railways rather than to Buenos Aires on the Atlantic side of Argentina and around the long southern tip of Argentina (ie Argentine Sea) to avoid the additional shipping costs (adding estimate US$2,100/mt)
Google English translation below:
Chinese group that will build a plant in Mejillones will also process lithium from Argentina
by Victor Guillou
A subsidiary of Tsinsgshan Holding Group was selected by CORFO to receive half of SQM's preferential quota, for just over 11,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate, to develop value-added products. However, the production of the plant that will be built in Mejillones (port city on Pacific Ocean), projected at 120,000 metric tons of cathode material per year, considers the import of part of the raw material required from the other side of the mountain range (ref Argentina).
President Gabriel Boric had some relevant news prepared for his tour of China. From Beijing, the president communicated one of the advances linked to the government strategy for the development of lithium: the allocation of the second half of the quota of lithium carbonate produced by SQM . The process is part of the contract that the Chilean mining company maintains with CORFO until 2030, and which obliges it to deliver at a preferential price up to 25% of its theoretical lithium production to a specialized producer, selected by CORFO, to promote activities that add value of Chilean lithium.
The second selected proponent - after BYD, announced last April - turned out to be Yongqing Technology Co. Ltd. The company is a subsidiary of Tsinsgshan Holding Group , which controls 92% of its ownership, and stands as the 18th private company in China, and number 80 among the largest companies in the Asian giant, according to CORFO.
As detailed by the public body, the selected proposal, called “Phase 1: Antofagasta Global Green Lithium Eco Industrial Park. Lithium ferrous phosphate (LFP) cathode material plant will require an estimated investment of US$233 million and plans to produce 120,000 metric tons of LFP-type cathode material (LiFePO4) annually in Chile. As previously explained in CORFO, LiFeP04 is the formula for lithium ferrophosphate and corresponds to an essential material for manufacturing cathodes for batteries.
The allocation corresponds to preferential access to 11,244 tons per year of battery grade lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) that were available on the market.
More about PM Pulse
However, to achieve the production capacity of lithium-ferrophosphate batteries projected by Tsingshang, the holding company will not only use the raw material extracted from the Salar de Atacama, but will also import lithium from one of its operations that it currently develops other side of the mountain range (ie in Argentina). The Asian giant is associated with the French company ERAMET in the Salar Centenario Ratones in Salta, Argentina, a consortium that expects to produce - in a first phase - 24 thousand tons of lithium carbonate, starting production in the second quarter of 2024.
Although the exact volume of imports of Argentine lithium that Tsinsgshan must import is unknown, the reported production capacity more than doubles what the first successful bidder who will have the same SQM quota will produce. This is because BYD Chile, after being awarded the same amount of lithium carbonate last April, announced that its project, in Antofagasta, was designed to produce 50,000 tons per year of cathode material of the LFP type (LiFePO4), using lithium carbonate as an input.
It should be remembered that CORFO's contracts with lithium producing companies in Chile also require the North American company Albemarle to deliver a quota of its production at a preferential price. CORFO announced that this process will be developed during the first quarter of 2024.

Dear Michele's Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric, if the Chinese in Argentina will be saving US$2,100mt in shipping costs by sending their lithium due west to Mejillones Chile... would it be reasonable to expect that someone (ie some shady scammer) in your administration will pocket half of that savings "under the table" in personal commission(s)?

==================
Pension reform: Government freezes the processing of the project until after the constitutional plebiscite
by Mariana Marusic
Picture: The Minister of Finance, Mario Marcel; President Boric and the head of Labor, Jeannette Jara.
They project that if the proposal for a new Constitution is rejected, the reform may gain strength; But if the text is approved, political conversations would become more complex. In addition, the Ministry of Labor commissioned a legal study to analyze what the draft of the Constitutional Council says on social security and determine whether contributions can be allocated to solidarity. Constitutionalists are divided.
share
Until a few months ago, the pension reform monopolized the political discussion, between negotiations and statements by parliamentarians and the government. Although it is one of the main projects that President Gabriel Boric wants to carry out during his mandate, today it is on pause and everything indicates that the Executive has put it in the freezer for a long time.
After the National Holidays, the last public activity for pension reform occurred, when the Minister of Labor, Jeannette Jara, made a tour in the northern part of the country called “better pensions for Chile”, which unleashed an attack from the opposition. who accused the Secretary of State of “wasting public resources” and promoting a project that is not yet law.
Since then there have been no more calls from the government on the project, with the exception of one that occurred at the beginning of October, when the group of PPD and independent deputies delivered a pension proposal to Minister Jara.
And the legislative deadlines have not been met either. Despite the fact that the head of Labor assured at the beginning of September that the indications of the project would be entered at the end of that month in the Labor Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, with the aim of dispatching the project from the Chamber of Deputies between October and mid of November. But that didn't happen anymore.
And something more recent: President Boric said a couple of days ago that he hopes that in the coming weeks the indications for the pension reform will be entered, and that he aspires to achieve a broad agreement on this matter. That deadline will not be met either.
No one has said it publicly, but the government's decision now is to wait until after the constitutional plebiscite on December 17 to reactivate the pension reform, as confirmed by various Executive sources. The Boric administration estimates that if the proposal for a new Constitution is rejected, the pension reform may gain strength. On the other hand, if the text is approved, the political process would become more complex.
Although no one from the opposition reaffirms this point, in reserve they do point out that an approval of the new Magna Carta does not play politically in the government's favor; and if not, they believe they would win.
Senator Rodrigo Galilea, president of RN, maintains: “In my opinion, the strength or otherwise of a possible pension reform depends on the quality of the proposals and not on the approval of a new Constitution.” Representative Benjamín Moreno, head of the Republican Party, comments that “Chileans want to be owners of their savings, but it is difficult to believe that this government aspires to the same thing, and people know it. The loss of force of the pension reform is a product of this bad government, regardless of whether the Constitution is approved or not.”
But there is an additional ingredient that the government is considering if the new Constitution is approved, and it is regarding the content of the text that will be voted on in December. What the draft says about the right to social security is already ready and will not undergo new changes, given that the Expert Commission did not make observations in that section. In the opinion of some constitutionalists, what was approved on this issue by the Constitutional Council casts doubt on whether pension contributions can be allocated for solidarity, which is what the government seeks to do with at least four points of the six extras that the project includes. but there is no single vision on the matter.
According to the first look that the Executive has taken at the content of the preliminary project, they estimate that there are no obstacles to moving forward with its reform. Thus, if the new Constitution is approved, they see that the big issue could be more political. From the right they advance that they will insist more strongly, if the new text is approved, that solidarity must be done with general taxes and not with contributions.
But in any case, as the government projects that legally what is proposed will be subject to interpretations, they believe that it is too early to make definitions. This is why the Ministry of Labor has already commissioned a legal study from a constitutional expert to have an external and independent source on the scope of what the new Magna Carta proposes regarding social security.
Even though this report is still being developed, they insist that in principle the text should not prevent solidarity through contributions. However, what they are evaluating is whether they should phrase the instructions differently to achieve the same objective: that at least 4% of the additional contribution be allocated to solidarity. Although this figure could be reduced further during the negotiation, for the government one of the main objectives of the reform is to be able to create solidarity in the contributory pillar.
So, that is also the reason for the decision to postpone the reactivation of the project, since - it is argued within the Executive - it would be difficult to write the instructions when it is not clear how the marking of the pension field will be. Thus, from that perspective, it is likely that the processing of the pension reform will be resumed next year, and there are those who do not even rule out that it will not be until March.
The new Constitution and the experts
What the draft of the new Constitution on social security says, and which calls into question whether contributions can be allocated for solidarity, is that “each person will have ownership over their pension contributions for old age and the savings generated by them, and will have the right to freely choose the institution, state or private, that manages and invests them. In no case may they be expropriated or appropriated by the State through any mechanism.”
In this regard, the professor of Constitutional Law at the UC, Arturo Fermandois, believes that solidarity can be achieved, under certain conditions. “First of all, the fact that ownership of the contributions is guaranteed does not mean that these contributions all fall into the same bag with respect to their legal nature. Contributions that are deducted or deducted from the worker's remuneration are subject to strict ownership; But the contributions that are imposed at the expense of the employer actually have the constitutional nature of a tribute, a true tax on work. An affectation tax. And I have maintained that, with respect to this part of the contributions, there is more room for the law if it wants to impose reasonable limitations on the worker's ownership of them. Reasonable, justified, proportionate,” he states.

If I were BYD the only way I would drop my legal claim on the 80,000mt LCE license and then halfway agree to bid the second lithium tender in 2024 is if Codelco had told me Tuesday they were going balls-to-the-wall to fock LPI on Maricunga and only paying LPI US$0.32 per share (under a state-imposed expropriation) for the whole LPI property(s) when they know damn well our LPI land is clearly worth US$1.52/share today and then "cutting" BYD (ie buddy buddy) in on the spoils to this bald-face highway robbery. I am betting that night-loving vampire Eduardo Bitran (paid whore for Codelco) is being forced to make his trademark squeeze play early in Maricunga now "but in the dreaded daylight" and he desperately wants BYD running their hot new sexy DLE machinery in Maricunga "exclusively" before Simbalik can beat Codelco to the DLE punch and before the right-wingers take over the government in March 2026 and all these focking conniving shoestring commies get their focking lying thieving teeth kicked out of their scamming heads.

And since we (LPI) aren't first generation partners with SQM... the only way the "overall" deal goes forward (for/involving us at LPI) is through the proposed LABSSS SpA JV partnership https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=172932778
If Alejandro Rivera is indeed going to work for Rothschild-Aramco (or Rothschild-Tianqi) and effectively negotiating with SQM then Alejandro Rivera needs to get Codelco CEO Ruben Alvarado to lobby Minister Nicolas Grau (in charge of CORFO) to "not protest" too loudly about SQM taking 65,000mt of LCE licensed export quota over 6 years "off the table" on the CORFO-SQM Atacama project during 2024-2030 and transferring that "SQM-owned" LCE licensed export quota into LABSSS SpA for a 20-year run at 3,250mtpa 2024 - 2044 https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=172932778
And the plot thickens here in Maricunga... nicely.

Step 1:_Boric properly_receives the_founder of_BYD, Wang_Chuanfu
https://www-biobiochile-cl.translate.goog/noticias/economia/negocios-y-empresas/2023/10/06/boric-recibe-al-fundador-de-byd-wang-chuanfu-es-la-mayor-productora-de-autos-electricos-del-mundo.shtml?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true
Step 2: Boric to reinstate BYD's 80,000mt LCE mining license hopefully on October 9 or 10 (hopefully for Maricunga) amidst great fanfare and political grandstanding at La Moneda Palace much to RP ultra-communista Marcela Hernando's and slimy governor Miguel Vargas's abject opposition who failed miserably to shakedown BYD for a huge kickback in March 2022.
Step 3: Don't you worry your little head about Step 3... I will be all over Step 3 like Travis Kelce on a hot Taylor Swift once Step 2 is confirmed.

PS, And you can bet your sweet ass that Sebastian Pinera will also be properly "entertaining" Wang Chuanfu plus Stella Li at his Pacifica beach house hacienda this weekend... they are real billionaire buddies and they go way back https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/chilean-president-visits-byd-to-emphasize-future-cooperation/69096572

Dear Codelco, I must admit... watching you disassemble in mid-air is kind of perverted joy now much like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I especially like watching you now in mid-flight when I am reading the letters written by the FTC Union members on why they love you so much https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=172920627

JP_Morgan sees_us up_& running_in 2024_also says_NLP will_flop
and JP Morgan is definitely zeroing in on our MSB Phase I plus Phase II 20,000mtpa LCE export license today.

JP knows something we haven't been properly "apprised" of by our LPI management sitting back home in Australia.
I think we are now going to be in the news every day for October.
The Doctor
PS, Remember, I previously predicted the next trading halt will be October 20 which could be sooner if BYD gets their 80,000mt LCE export license reinstated by Boric on October 9 or 10.

Is_Alejandro Rivera_moving to_Rothschild in_Maricunga LABSSS-Codelco
JV? If the dynamic and qualified Alejandro Rivera is representing Rothschild "on the ground" in Maricunga... then Codelco just engineered a very slick major goal/strategic-accomplishment for themselves in our backyard. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/cfo-of-world-s-top-copper-miner-is-moving-to-job-in-lithium-not-leaving-company-1.1981262
Dear LABSSS SpA, I am being conservative here, but if I were you I would get my shit together on this new LABSSS SpA JV within the next 30 days or you (ie us) are going to be late to the party and without a proper strong/stable adult's chair to sit in at the bargaining table. And WE certainly don't want to be sitting (ie strapped into) in baby's high-chair being spoon-fed by mommy Codelco at the fast approaching bargaining table.
Game on.

Dear_Maximo Pacheco,_"They" are_not going_to let_up until you_resign
... or perhaps pull a magic Rothschild white rabbit out of your ass, but even then it would be iffy.

These are the brutal type of embarrassing career-killing Headlines aimed squarely at you that will haunt you everyday henceforth until you resign.
It's time for you to go little amigo.

Inter-American Development_Bank, Ilan Goldfajn has US$20B to lend
over the next 10 years to Latin America. https://dfsud-com.translate.goog/financial-times/exportaciones-de-energia-verde-alimentos-y-minerales-criticos-la?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Inter-American Development Bank, Ilan Goldfajn further says "With two-thirds of the world's lithium reserves and 38% of its copper, Latin America could play an important role in supplying the world with the raw materials needed to shift to electric vehicles and renewable energy".
Dear Ilan Goldfajn of IAD Bank, if a certain "unnamed" brand spanking new corporation made up of 6 reputable landowners in the lithium rich Maricunga Salar of Chile came to you tomorrow (ie before Michele's Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric announces if he is going to reinstate BYD's 80,000mt LCE export license on April 9/10) seeking a loan of US$1.12 billion to cover their CAPEX to develop and produce 49,200mtpa of LCE for 20 years... would you lend them the money?
Yes or No?

Ooops,_what's this?_I have just_been internal_message-d saying
this LPI message board hosted in America is now the number #1 mining-related message board on iHub for number of lurker eyeballs (clicks $$$) in the 2nd half of 2023.
I don't focking believe it.

I_honestly thought_I was_writing here_only for_2 other LPI_shareholders
(plus three courtesy invites to iHub Chile Lithium Inc shareholders/iHub members) on this private iHub LPI message board and for myself in order to simply hear myself talking as we are the only 6 direct members listed on our iHub roster.
Well to my "utter" focking gekko-ing surprise here today it turns out we 6 core members have 7 or 8 uninvited interlopers from LPI-HotCopper in Australia reading and taking our content away for their private consumption under the bed covers late at night without our permission. These Interlopers include TheGekko, FrankRockefield, 1883, TheGekko again and 4 other LPI-HotCopper members. This is not acceptable.
Dear LPI-HotCopper interlopers, please stop reading (stealing) the content here on our iHub message board... we are only going to warn you once.

Bad_news at_Codelco is_impacting investor_confidence in_Codelco
Credit rating drops from A3 to Baa1, VPs leaving... it is all slowly "adding up" hurting Codelco's borrowing power to nonstop borrow and keeping themselves afloat for another 4 to 6 month stretch at a time. https://www-redimin-cl.translate.goog/degradacion-crediticia-de-codelco-expertos-calibran-el-golpe-y-advierten-impacto-en-la-confianza-de-inversionistas/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Now imagine what will happen if Maximo Pacheco gets the axe before this end of October.
For us specifically, if Maximo is fired then the Gang-of-7 which is now the Gang-of-6 will become the Gang-of-5 effectively taking all of the 5 remaining racketeers out of the running on locking up Chile's lithium for their own "fiefdoms" which is a good thing.

Looks_like Crystalballs_might/could be starting_to "confirm"_an alternative
"bottom-up" plan instead of a "top-down" plan to develop a lithium project (or two) in Maricunga https://www.innovationnewsnetwork.com/codelco-and-lithium-power-international-set-to-jointly-mine-for-lithium-in-south-america/37941/
other than the plan TheGekko has https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/ann-response-to-media-speculation.7602524/page-173?get_post=true&direction=previous
oh wait... TheGekko does not have a REAL plan, his only plan is to short LPI into the pisser after every artificial run-up he (and BushStar and FrankRockefield) created over the last 7 years and then fock as many gullible LPI shareholders as possible as these little guys sell off in a panic... right before TheGekko conveniently takes another self-imposed hiatus to his chalet in Switzerland to recoup after the terrible loses LPI shareholders just endured... again... for the 16th time since he started posting on LPI-HotCopper.

Adios_sinking ship_Codelco, more_VPs resigning,_hopefully taking_their
golden parachutes (or golden bennies) with them whilst they are still golden. You may recall from 4 years ago that Alejandro Rivera "lorded" over the Maricunga/LPI negotiations which went absolutely nowhere https://www-latercera-com.translate.goog/pulso/noticia/tras-ocho-anos-en-el-cargo-alejandro-rivera-renuncia-a-la-vicepresidenciae-de-administracion-y-finanzas-de-codelco/GLZ2YEK7QNBIBFPVUJ5FJWIE7M/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
