https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yaldIhwj_8&t=5s
Download the video off YouTube and you can then use my English SRT translation. See below for copy & paste SRT text. Please note: I have inserted a few editorial bookmarking notes in parenthesis on the key parts impacting LPI, Simbalik, SIMCO and that section of SQM specifically inside Maricunga for my future reference.
Boric took my 8 points from earlier today https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=171737219 and narrowed/distilled them down to his 5 key points.
The Doctor
-----------------------
1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:03,840
Being nine o'clock at night
I greet you at home.
2
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:05,860
As I imagine it.
3
00:00:06,660 --> 00:00:08,970
Parents at this moment
hugging their children.
4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,360
To his family.
5
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:13,110
Thinking about the
challenging future.
6
00:00:13,530 --> 00:00:14,530
What do we have ahead of us?
7
00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:16,690
You.
8
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:18,000
have given me
9
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,230
the honor and the responsibility.
10
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:21,060
to be the President of Chile.
11
00:00:22,050 --> 00:00:23,910
And a fundamental
duty of to drive this huge machine.
12
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,880
It is about building and leading.
13
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:31,140
The paths to face the great challenges
and opportunities that we have as a country.
14
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:33,510
That is exactly what this is about.
15
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:35,550
The National Lithium Policy (NLP).
16
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:36,360
What, today
17
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,680
I come to introduce you.
18
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Chile.
19
00:00:40,050 --> 00:00:42,480
It has in this age the largest
reserves offense in the world.
20
00:00:43,140 --> 00:00:43,830
a mineral
21
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:46,860
that being in the
materials of energy storage
22
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:48,630
for electric cars and buses
23
00:00:48,930 --> 00:00:49,930
turns out to be key.
24
00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:52,260
In the fight against
the climate crisis.
25
00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:55,890
And an opportunity for
economic growth that hardly
26
00:00:56,220 --> 00:00:57,700
will repeat itself in the short term.
27
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,570
Together with the
development of green hydrogen
28
00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:01,890
and to knowledge.
29
00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:04,350
What is generated
in our universities
30
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:05,590
and communities.
31
00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:07,890
It's the best chance we have
32
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,810
to move towards a
33
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:10,830
sustainable economy
34
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:11,950
and development.
35
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,090
We cannot afford to miss
taking advantage of it.
36
00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:17,530
In Chile
37
00:01:17,790 --> 00:01:20,910
today Lithium is only extracted
from the Salar de Atacama.
38
00:01:21,690 --> 00:01:22,690
And even so.
39
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,970
The production of our country represents
more than 30% of the total global market.
40
00:01:28,110 --> 00:01:30,360
The potential we
have is enormous.
41
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:32,610
In addition to the Atacama salt flat.
42
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:35,910
There are more than 60
salar and saline lagoons.
43
00:01:37,020 --> 00:01:38,310
So this policy (ie NLP).
44
00:01:38,670 --> 00:01:41,160
It will also be a
crusade to explore those (salars).
45
00:01:41,730 --> 00:01:43,350
and evaluate the extra
active potential.
46
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,970
And very important
47
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:48,330
also delimit the
protected areas and
48
00:01:48,450 --> 00:01:50,160
lagoons where mining tasks
will not be allowed.
49
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,860
These ecosystems
50
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,280
they are not just for lithium.
51
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,820
They are people, they are for communities.
52
00:01:57,270 --> 00:02:01,080
They are the desert water...
technologies and other minerals.
53
00:02:01,710 --> 00:02:03,720
They are the repositories
of ancient cultures.
54
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:06,630
And that they are witnesses of
the past that today we will preserve
55
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:07,870
for a better future.
56
00:02:09,090 --> 00:02:12,630
Our development strategy then
has to be built by responding.
57
00:02:12,990 --> 00:02:14,040
to the climate crisis.
58
00:02:14,490 --> 00:02:19,230
And therefore guaranteeing the least possible
environmental impact on these ecosystems.
59
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,540
We will do from the state
60
00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:23,280
a profound difference.
61
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:26,340
In the human and technological
62
00:02:26,490 --> 00:02:27,530
development of the
country if we do it well.
63
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:30,270
And compatriot I have no doubt.
64
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,980
That we can do it right.
65
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:34,390
Our challenge.
66
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,850
for our country.
67
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,210
is to become The World's
Leading Lithium Producer.
68
00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:41,760
Thus increasing our
69
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:42,910
wealth and development.
70
00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:44,550
Distributing it fairly.
71
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:48,180
At the same time that we protect
the biodiversity of nature.
72
00:02:49,470 --> 00:02:50,130
I want to
73
00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:51,810
highlight FIVE
74
00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:54,660
key elements of the
National Lithium Policy (NLP)
75
00:02:54,870 --> 00:02:57,480
that will allow us to achieve
these and other objectives.
76
00:02:58,110 --> 00:02:59,110
First of all.
77
00:02:59,970 --> 00:03:03,690
The state will participate in the
entire productive cycle of this mineral.
78
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:05,050
Creating for this a
79
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,020
National Lithium Company (NLC).
80
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,160
Second point:
81
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:11,578
The effort of exploration,
82
00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:13,949
exploitation and value addition.
83
00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:16,650
We will do it based on
the principle of collaboration
84
00:03:16,950 --> 00:03:18,630
virtuous public AND private
85
00:03:19,890 --> 00:03:20,890
Third:
86
00:03:21,210 --> 00:03:24,300
We will move towards the use of
new Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies.
87
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,720
to minimize
88
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:27,900
the impact on the
ecosystems of nature.
89
00:03:28,770 --> 00:03:29,370
At the same time.
90
00:03:29,790 --> 00:03:31,890
We promote research into the salars.
91
00:03:32,220 --> 00:03:33,930
To know how to take care of the best.
92
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,160
Fourth:
93
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,010
We will establish a
protection network.
94
00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:43,590
Of salars fulfilling in this way The commitment
of 30% of protected ecosystems
95
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:44,890
by 2030
96
00:03:46,110 --> 00:03:47,110
Still Fourth:
97
00:03:47,370 --> 00:03:48,510
All this development.
98
00:03:48,930 --> 00:03:51,510
It will be with the
participation and involvement
99
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:53,850
of the communities surrounding
the mining operations.
100
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,010
Certainly understanding the concern that
this news could generate within communities.
101
00:03:59,490 --> 00:04:00,690
I want to promise you.
102
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,640
That the first and
all this process
103
00:04:02,850 --> 00:04:04,770
It will start with a
direct conversation.
104
00:04:05,310 --> 00:04:07,230
Among the towns council
105
00:04:07,410 --> 00:04:08,410
with less attacks on our people.
106
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:10,300
Our own history
107
00:04:10,950 --> 00:04:13,500
has taught us that there
is no possible development
108
00:04:13,740 --> 00:04:14,740
without the community
109
00:04:15,870 --> 00:04:16,870
Fifth:
110
00:04:17,550 --> 00:04:18,550
Let's promote.
111
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:20,220
Not just extraction.
112
00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:22,500
Not just preservation.
113
00:04:22,890 --> 00:04:26,070
But also the generation of
value-added lithium products.
114
00:04:26,910 --> 00:04:27,450
So
115
00:04:27,750 --> 00:04:30,660
scientific and technological
innovation associated with this task.
116
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,450
It will allow us to move towards
117
00:04:33,630 --> 00:04:34,630
a development that is lasting.
118
00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:35,880
of greater complexity
119
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,230
and more diverse.
120
00:04:38,670 --> 00:04:39,670
Compatriots.
121
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:41,500
When.
122
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,280
In this very place
56 years ago.
123
00:04:44,790 --> 00:04:48,450
President Eduardo Frei Montalvo
promoted the initiation of copper in Chile.
124
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:49,740
He did it with firm conviction.
125
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,330
126
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:54,390
That mineral would be the guiding
light for the Chilean economy.
127
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:56,500
Years later.
128
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,350
In 1971
129
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:00,510
this idea also
130
00:05:00,630 --> 00:05:01,630
accompanied and inspired
131
00:05:01,950 --> 00:05:03,660
President Salvador Allende.
132
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:08,550
It was at the time of nationalizing the large copper
mining industry with the unanimous support of Congress.
133
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,560
He called it Chile's salary.
134
00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:12,430
I hope today.
135
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:14,070
With this height of vision.
136
00:05:14,430 --> 00:05:16,440
Let's be able to count lithium that way also.
137
00:05:16,770 --> 00:05:17,790
With that transversal gone.
138
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,230
So that the states actively engage
in the entire century of lithium.
139
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,930
The second quarter of this
year (2023) after the dialogue that we will
140
00:05:28,110 --> 00:05:29,370
have with the different
communities that live next to the salars.
141
00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:31,950
We will send to the
congress of the republic
142
00:05:32,130 --> 00:05:33,660
The bill you create.
143
00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:35,460
The National Lithium Company (NLC).
144
00:05:36,630 --> 00:05:37,110
This.
145
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:40,830
It will seek partners for the
development of value-added projects.
146
00:05:41,610 --> 00:05:43,560
And this means
going the extra mile.
147
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,020
To not only extract
the raw material (ie ore).
148
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,550
But to convert it into new products
of high technological value.
149
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,260
We can do it in Chile.
150
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:54,220
In this area we hope
to have the participation
151
00:05:54,330 --> 00:05:58,200
and leadership of
regional governments.
152
00:05:59,430 --> 00:06:02,220
Given its relevance, lithium
production and reserves.
153
00:06:02,730 --> 00:06:04,350
The Salar de
Atacama in particular.
154
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,120
Deserves special attention
155
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,360
in our strategy.
156
00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:09,600
And in this sense.
157
00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:11,910
Here in Chile and in the world.
158
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,310
We know that we are a
159
00:06:14,430 --> 00:06:15,430
serious and trustworthy country.
160
00:06:16,140 --> 00:06:19,440
We have respected and will
continue to respect existing contracts.
161
00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:20,610
and we know
162
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,620
that in the year 2030
163
00:06:22,980 --> 00:06:27,000
The private lease agreement for an
important part of Salar de Atacama ends.
164
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,520
If we decide to do nothing.
165
00:06:29,850 --> 00:06:31,230
This would just go on like this (staus quo).
166
00:06:32,430 --> 00:06:33,430
Therefore,
167
00:06:33,540 --> 00:06:34,620
we have instructed CORFO
168
00:06:35,010 --> 00:06:37,380
The institution that
manages our lithium reserves.
169
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,270
the (CORFO) President in turn that he
170
00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:41,880
search for the best paths forward..
171
00:06:42,270 --> 00:06:43,380
and to achieve them now
172
00:06:43,620 --> 00:06:47,520
The participation of the Chilean state in
the extraction of the Salar de Atacama coast.
173
00:06:48,750 --> 00:06:49,290
So,
174
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:52,650
As our representatives will
propose to the companies
175
00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:54,360
who are currently situated in each salar.
176
00:06:54,810 --> 00:06:57,150
To have a share of the state
177
00:06:57,390 --> 00:07:00,000
before the expiration
of current contracts.
178
00:07:00,750 --> 00:07:01,750
About.
179
00:07:01,980 --> 00:07:03,300
Two brief considerations:
180
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,080
First of all.
181
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:10,110
In case of forming a public-private company
that exploits litho in the Salar de Atacama.
182
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,900
This will be controlled by
the state through Codelco.
183
00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:15,070
In second place.
184
00:07:15,570 --> 00:07:17,430
The state of Chile
will fully respect
185
00:07:17,550 --> 00:07:19,980
the provisions of
the CURRENT contracts.
186
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:21,640
That is to say.
187
00:07:21,690 --> 00:07:24,570
An anticipated participation of
the state in the Salar de Atacama.
188
00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:26,550
It will be the result of an agreement.
189
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:27,690
With those who currently
190
00:07:27,810 --> 00:07:30,540
have the rights to exploit lithium
(editorial insertion: see LPI)
191
00:07:31,980 --> 00:07:32,980
Besides this.
192
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,510
Exploration and exploitation
contracts will be awarded.
193
00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:37,290
and in regards to ENAMI...
194
00:07:37,410 --> 00:07:38,410
195
00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:43,320
In those salars where there are currently
projects that are in different stages of development.
196
00:07:44,460 --> 00:07:46,050
These companies may decide
197
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,570
if it is convenient or not to associate
198
00:07:48,870 --> 00:07:51,000
on these specific projects with other private ones.
(editorial insertion: See Simbalik, SIMCO, SQM)
199
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,160
For the rest of the salars that are
considered suitable for exploitation.
200
00:07:56,940 --> 00:07:58,530
A process will start that is
201
00:07:58,740 --> 00:07:59,370
transparent and informative to the public
202
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,470
203
00:08:01,770 --> 00:08:02,850
of bidding (editorial insertion: reference issuance of tenders).
204
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:05,280
on derivations of
exploration contracts.
205
00:08:05,730 --> 00:08:09,000
In addition to the surveys that we
will carry out from the State's side.
206
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:12,240
Should the exploration
207
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:13,390
results show potential.
208
00:08:13,980 --> 00:08:17,190
The private party (miner) will
have a preferential
209
00:08:17,370 --> 00:08:18,900
option to request an
exploitation contract
210
00:08:19,140 --> 00:08:21,270
in association with
a state company
211
00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:22,540
such as the
212
00:08:22,620 --> 00:08:23,940
National Lithium Company (NLC).
213
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,440
It should be said.
214
00:08:26,610 --> 00:08:28,950
That for projects of
strategic value for the country.
215
00:08:29,460 --> 00:08:32,550
This association must have a
216
00:08:32,670 --> 00:08:33,900
MAJORITY participation
of the Chilean State.
217
00:08:35,310 --> 00:08:36,750
This process is for compatriots.
218
00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:39,630
It will speed up the
exploration of salars.
219
00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:44,010
And it will provide a space for the
different national and international participants.
220
00:08:44,490 --> 00:08:45,490
If interested,
221
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,640
they can enter the industry
222
00:08:48,210 --> 00:08:49,470
and promote in earnest
223
00:08:49,830 --> 00:08:51,570
a virtuous articulation
224
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,040
of public AND private operations.
225
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,880
We know that brine wetlands
are complex ecosystems.
226
00:08:57,330 --> 00:08:57,930
Unique and highly diverse.
227
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,520
228
00:09:00,295 --> 00:09:03,240
They are suffering
significant degradation globally
229
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,480
as like in our homeland.
230
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,320
For this reason,
this strategy includes
231
00:09:07,650 --> 00:09:10,230
The creation of a network
of protected salar ecosystems
232
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:13,710
in line with the international
obligations committed to by Chile
233
00:09:14,010 --> 00:09:16,020
in the Biodiversity
Framework Convention.
234
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,520
At the same time.
235
00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:20,460
In the salars
that are exploited.
236
00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:25,350
The implementation of technology will be
required to minimize the environmental impact.
237
00:09:25,770 --> 00:09:26,910
In lithium recovery
238
00:09:27,210 --> 00:09:28,210
such as Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE)
239
00:09:28,350 --> 00:09:30,600
with brine RE-injection back into the ground
240
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,070
With science and technology
on our side as a tool.
241
00:09:35,610 --> 00:09:38,850
We will be able to develop
the best extraction techniques.
242
00:09:39,540 --> 00:09:41,130
We will add value to the mineral.
243
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,950
And also guarantee we
have exploitation processes
244
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:46,289
in accordance with the
highest standards of care.
245
00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:48,690
The exploitation of lithium
246
00:09:48,990 --> 00:09:51,840
it evolves along with
biodiversity and communities.
247
00:09:52,770 --> 00:09:53,770
Thus.
248
00:09:54,090 --> 00:09:57,990
We will create the PILNT
(Public Institute of Lithium and New Technologies).
249
00:09:58,650 --> 00:10:01,710
The one to combine efforts in the
field of technological development
250
00:10:01,980 --> 00:10:03,450
with research capabilities.
251
00:10:03,630 --> 00:10:03,780
252
00:10:04,140 --> 00:10:05,140
The ecology.
253
00:10:05,310 --> 00:10:06,030
geology
254
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:07,380
and social sciences.
255
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:08,740
on the salars
256
00:10:08,970 --> 00:10:10,080
choice diversity
257
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,040
for the communities
that live around the projects.
258
00:10:13,304 --> 00:10:14,304
This strategy
259
00:10:14,534 --> 00:10:16,124
should also strengthen
260
00:10:16,364 --> 00:10:18,764
The process of
economic decentralization.
261
00:10:19,154 --> 00:10:19,904
Whereby
262
00:10:20,144 --> 00:10:21,674
this institute as I mentioned
263
00:10:21,974 --> 00:10:25,004
will be located entirely
in the Antofagasta region.
264
00:10:26,474 --> 00:10:27,474
As we will appoint.
265
00:10:27,944 --> 00:10:32,714
My government will guarantee that the indigenous peoples and
those who inhabit the territories in which mining will take place
266
00:10:33,074 --> 00:10:34,074
by this industry
267
00:10:34,154 --> 00:10:35,564
that they will be direct participants
268
00:10:35,714 --> 00:10:36,569
in the benefits that are reaped
269
00:10:36,707 --> 00:10:37,707
270
00:10:38,144 --> 00:10:39,144
No more will it be a situation
271
00:10:39,404 --> 00:10:41,234
of mining just for a few (people).
272
00:10:41,924 --> 00:10:42,764
We have to be able to
273
00:10:42,914 --> 00:10:44,474
274
00:10:45,224 --> 00:10:47,834
to network and to SHARE the
benefits of our country
275
00:10:48,104 --> 00:10:49,214
among all Chileans.
276
00:10:50,114 --> 00:10:52,724
That is why we will
soon start a participatory
277
00:10:52,904 --> 00:10:54,614
process with all
the participants involved.
278
00:10:55,034 --> 00:10:58,034
Local academic scientific
authorities and experts.
279
00:10:58,484 --> 00:11:01,214
Productive companies and
representatives of civil society.
280
00:11:01,664 --> 00:11:03,284
To determine together with them
281
00:11:03,584 --> 00:11:06,284
the new governance of
development and salt deposits.
282
00:11:07,604 --> 00:11:09,074
The National Lithium Policy (NLP).
283
00:11:09,644 --> 00:11:12,284
It is good news
compatriots for the country.
284
00:11:13,154 --> 00:11:15,164
For the boys and girls
who are watching us.
285
00:11:15,644 --> 00:11:17,564
For young people and
their families who live.
286
00:11:17,864 --> 00:11:19,904
Throughout the width
and length of our territory.
287
00:11:20,744 --> 00:11:22,064
It is more wealth for Chile.
288
00:11:22,604 --> 00:11:25,004
That you will be able
to finance new schools,
289
00:11:25,424 --> 00:11:26,424
hospitals, police stations,
290
00:11:26,564 --> 00:11:27,564
291
00:11:28,334 --> 00:11:28,964
and ultimately a more dignified life
292
00:11:29,114 --> 00:11:30,224
293
00:11:30,344 --> 00:11:31,344
for everyone.
294
00:11:32,534 --> 00:11:34,574
But important to note.
295
00:11:35,114 --> 00:11:36,134
And with this I finish.
296
00:11:36,524 --> 00:11:39,074
That we will be responsible
with public finances.
297
00:11:39,764 --> 00:11:40,764
Thus.
298
00:11:40,814 --> 00:11:43,364
Following the recommendations
of the autonomous fiscal council.
299
00:11:43,874 --> 00:11:47,504
A rule will be generated that defines
a spending threshold for lithium revenue.
300
00:11:48,674 --> 00:11:49,674
Thus,
301
00:11:49,754 --> 00:11:55,694
the transitory part of the lithium revenues saved will be
made to ensure the long-term financing of the investments.
302
00:11:56,114 --> 00:11:57,884
Technological and
productive social
303
00:11:58,154 --> 00:12:00,734
thus promoting
sustainable development
304
00:12:01,004 --> 00:12:02,004
and inclusive.
305
00:12:02,264 --> 00:12:03,264
of the country in time.
306
00:12:04,694 --> 00:12:06,554
Accordingly and
this is important.
307
00:12:07,154 --> 00:12:09,224
Given the nature
of lithium revenue.
308
00:12:09,644 --> 00:12:13,174
THESE CANNOT REPLACE A NECESSARY TAX REFORM.
309
00:12:11,354 --> 00:12:13,364
310
00:12:13,754 --> 00:12:16,604
For purposes of financing
permanent social expenses such as
311
00:12:16,874 --> 00:12:19,124
The increase in the universal guaranteed pension
(ie Pensión Garantizada Universal PGU).
312
00:12:19,514 --> 00:12:20,924
or the the National Health Care System (ISAPRE).
313
00:12:21,944 --> 00:12:22,944
Thus.
314
00:12:23,234 --> 00:12:27,824
we call on all political participants
to agree on this important issue.
315
00:12:28,244 --> 00:12:30,194
As we pointed out
this morning in the ENADE convention
316
00:12:31,784 --> 00:12:32,864
Chileans
317
00:12:33,314 --> 00:12:33,854
Today.
318
00:12:34,334 --> 00:12:38,114
We present to you
a technically sound
319
00:12:38,234 --> 00:12:39,234
and ambitious
National Lithium Policy (NLP).
320
00:12:39,614 --> 00:12:42,524
The one that contemplates concrete
and relevant steps of participation.
321
00:12:43,814 --> 00:12:45,464
This strategy increases/expands in time also
322
00:12:45,794 --> 00:12:47,534
on the experience of
those who preceded us.
323
00:12:48,224 --> 00:12:49,514
And I have deep conviction.
324
00:12:49,634 --> 00:12:50,634
325
00:12:50,924 --> 00:12:53,864
That we are taking the appropriate
steps for the lithium industry.
326
00:12:54,224 --> 00:12:56,204
It helps us create a
more prosperous Chile.
327
00:12:56,564 --> 00:12:57,884
with scientific development.
328
00:12:58,454 --> 00:13:01,154
A clean Chile that cares for
its people and its ecosystems.
329
00:13:01,694 --> 00:13:02,324
A Chile that and
330
00:13:02,594 --> 00:13:02,834
of.
331
00:13:03,224 --> 00:13:06,284
Improving the lives of all and all
the inhabitants of our homeland.
332
00:13:07,064 --> 00:13:09,404
A Chile that distributes fairly
333
00:13:09,644 --> 00:13:11,504
the wealth that we all generate.
334
00:13:12,464 --> 00:13:13,814
We are building a more dignified
335
00:13:13,994 --> 00:13:16,064
Chile and we will work together.
336
00:13:16,394 --> 00:13:17,394
With you.
337
00:13:17,594 --> 00:13:18,594
So that it be so.
338
00:13:18,944 --> 00:13:20,174
Advancing presents.
339
00:13:20,594 --> 00:13:21,594
It makes a better future.
340
00:13:22,454 --> 00:13:23,454
Thanks a lot.
341
00:13:26,234 --> 00:13:28,663
We thank the
television channels,
342
00:13:28,784 --> 00:13:32,413
radio stations and all the media
343
00:13:32,564 --> 00:13:36,104
for conveying the message
of the president of the republic
344
00:13:36,224 --> 00:13:37,224
Gabriel.
345
00:13:37,274 --> 00:13:38,274
Item.
346
00:13:39,764 --> 00:13:40,934
Government of Chile
347
00:13:41,204 --> 00:13:43,064
present for a better future.

Please note: I have inserted a few editorial bookmarking notes in parenthesis on the key parts impacting LPI, Simbalik, SIMCO and that section of SQM specifically inside Maricunga for my future reference.
Boric took my 8 points from earlier today https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=171737219 and narrowed/distilled them down to his 5 key points.
The Doctor
-----------------------
1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:03,840
Being nine o'clock at night
I greet you at home.
2
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:05,860
As I imagine it.
3
00:00:06,660 --> 00:00:08,970
Parents at this moment
hugging their children.
4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,360
To his family.
5
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:13,110
Thinking about the
challenging future.
6
00:00:13,530 --> 00:00:14,530
What do we have ahead of us?
7
00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:16,690
You.
8
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:18,000
have given me
9
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,230
the honor and the responsibility.
10
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:21,060
to be the President of Chile.
11
00:00:22,050 --> 00:00:23,910
And a fundamental
duty of to drive this huge machine.
12
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,880
It is about building and leading.
13
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:31,140
The paths to face the great challenges
and opportunities that we have as a country.
14
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:33,510
That is exactly what this is about.
15
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:35,550
The National Lithium Policy (NLP).
16
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:36,360
What, today
17
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,680
I come to introduce you.
18
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Chile.
19
00:00:40,050 --> 00:00:42,480
It has in this age the largest
reserves offense in the world.
20
00:00:43,140 --> 00:00:43,830
a mineral
21
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:46,860
that being in the
materials of energy storage
22
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:48,630
for electric cars and buses
23
00:00:48,930 --> 00:00:49,930
turns out to be key.
24
00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:52,260
In the fight against
the climate crisis.
25
00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:55,890
And an opportunity for
economic growth that hardly
26
00:00:56,220 --> 00:00:57,700
will repeat itself in the short term.
27
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,570
Together with the
development of green hydrogen
28
00:01:00,810 --> 00:01:01,890
and to knowledge.
29
00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:04,350
What is generated
in our universities
30
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:05,590
and communities.
31
00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:07,890
It's the best chance we have
32
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,810
to move towards a
33
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:10,830
sustainable economy
34
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:11,950
and development.
35
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,090
We cannot afford to miss
taking advantage of it.
36
00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:17,530
In Chile
37
00:01:17,790 --> 00:01:20,910
today Lithium is only extracted
from the Salar de Atacama.
38
00:01:21,690 --> 00:01:22,690
And even so.
39
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,970
The production of our country represents
more than 30% of the total global market.
40
00:01:28,110 --> 00:01:30,360
The potential we
have is enormous.
41
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:32,610
In addition to the Atacama salt flat.
42
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:35,910
There are more than 60
salar and saline lagoons.
43
00:01:37,020 --> 00:01:38,310
So this policy (ie NLP).
44
00:01:38,670 --> 00:01:41,160
It will also be a
crusade to explore those (salars).
45
00:01:41,730 --> 00:01:43,350
and evaluate the extra
active potential.
46
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,970
And very important
47
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:48,330
also delimit the
protected areas and
48
00:01:48,450 --> 00:01:50,160
lagoons where mining tasks
will not be allowed.
49
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,860
These ecosystems
50
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,280
they are not just for lithium.
51
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,820
They are people, they are for communities.
52
00:01:57,270 --> 00:02:01,080
They are the desert water...
technologies and other minerals.
53
00:02:01,710 --> 00:02:03,720
They are the repositories
of ancient cultures.
54
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:06,630
And that they are witnesses of
the past that today we will preserve
55
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:07,870
for a better future.
56
00:02:09,090 --> 00:02:12,630
Our development strategy then
has to be built by responding.
57
00:02:12,990 --> 00:02:14,040
to the climate crisis.
58
00:02:14,490 --> 00:02:19,230
And therefore guaranteeing the least possible
environmental impact on these ecosystems.
59
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,540
We will do from the state
60
00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:23,280
a profound difference.
61
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:26,340
In the human and technological
62
00:02:26,490 --> 00:02:27,530
development of the
country if we do it well.
63
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:30,270
And compatriot I have no doubt.
64
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,980
That we can do it right.
65
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:34,390
Our challenge.
66
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,850
for our country.
67
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,210
is to become The World's
Leading Lithium Producer.
68
00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:41,760
Thus increasing our
69
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:42,910
wealth and development.
70
00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:44,550
Distributing it fairly.
71
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:48,180
At the same time that we protect
the biodiversity of nature.
72
00:02:49,470 --> 00:02:50,130
I want to
73
00:02:50,460 --> 00:02:51,810
highlight FIVE
74
00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:54,660
key elements of the
National Lithium Policy (NLP)
75
00:02:54,870 --> 00:02:57,480
that will allow us to achieve
these and other objectives.
76
00:02:58,110 --> 00:02:59,110
First of all.
77
00:02:59,970 --> 00:03:03,690
The state will participate in the
entire productive cycle of this mineral.
78
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:05,050
Creating for this a
79
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,020
National Lithium Company (NLC).
80
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,160
Second point:
81
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:11,578
The effort of exploration,
82
00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:13,949
exploitation and value addition.
83
00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:16,650
We will do it based on
the principle of collaboration
84
00:03:16,950 --> 00:03:18,630
virtuous public AND private
85
00:03:19,890 --> 00:03:20,890
Third:
86
00:03:21,210 --> 00:03:24,300
We will move towards the use of
new Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies.
87
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,720
to minimize
88
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:27,900
the impact on the
ecosystems of nature.
89
00:03:28,770 --> 00:03:29,370
At the same time.
90
00:03:29,790 --> 00:03:31,890
We promote research into the salars.
91
00:03:32,220 --> 00:03:33,930
To know how to take care of the best.
92
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,160
Fourth:
93
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,010
We will establish a
protection network.
94
00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:43,590
Of salars fulfilling in this way The commitment
of 30% of protected ecosystems
95
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:44,890
by 2030
96
00:03:46,110 --> 00:03:47,110
Still Fourth:
97
00:03:47,370 --> 00:03:48,510
All this development.
98
00:03:48,930 --> 00:03:51,510
It will be with the
participation and involvement
99
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:53,850
of the communities surrounding
the mining operations.
100
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,010
Certainly understanding the concern that
this news could generate within communities.
101
00:03:59,490 --> 00:04:00,690
I want to promise you.
102
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,640
That the first and
all this process
103
00:04:02,850 --> 00:04:04,770
It will start with a
direct conversation.
104
00:04:05,310 --> 00:04:07,230
Among the towns council
105
00:04:07,410 --> 00:04:08,410
with less attacks on our people.
106
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:10,300
Our own history
107
00:04:10,950 --> 00:04:13,500
has taught us that there
is no possible development
108
00:04:13,740 --> 00:04:14,740
without the community
109
00:04:15,870 --> 00:04:16,870
Fifth:
110
00:04:17,550 --> 00:04:18,550
Let's promote.
111
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:20,220
Not just extraction.
112
00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:22,500
Not just preservation.
113
00:04:22,890 --> 00:04:26,070
But also the generation of
value-added lithium products.
114
00:04:26,910 --> 00:04:27,450
So
115
00:04:27,750 --> 00:04:30,660
scientific and technological
innovation associated with this task.
116
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,450
It will allow us to move towards
117
00:04:33,630 --> 00:04:34,630
a development that is lasting.
118
00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:35,880
of greater complexity
119
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,230
and more diverse.
120
00:04:38,670 --> 00:04:39,670
Compatriots.
121
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:41,500
When.
122
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,280
In this very place
56 years ago.
123
00:04:44,790 --> 00:04:48,450
President Eduardo Frei Montalvo
promoted the initiation of copper in Chile.
124
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:49,740
He did it with firm conviction.
125
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,330
126
00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:54,390
That mineral would be the guiding
light for the Chilean economy.
127
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:56,500
Years later.
128
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,350
In 1971
129
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:00,510
this idea also
130
00:05:00,630 --> 00:05:01,630
accompanied and inspired
131
00:05:01,950 --> 00:05:03,660
President Salvador Allende.
132
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:08,550
It was at the time of nationalizing the large copper
mining industry with the unanimous support of Congress.
133
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,560
He called it Chile's salary.
134
00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:12,430
I hope today.
135
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:14,070
With this height of vision.
136
00:05:14,430 --> 00:05:16,440
Let's be able to count lithium that way also.
137
00:05:16,770 --> 00:05:17,790
With that transversal gone.
138
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,230
So that the states actively engage
in the entire century of lithium.
139
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,930
The second quarter of this
year (2023) after the dialogue that we will
140
00:05:28,110 --> 00:05:29,370
have with the different
communities that live next to the salars.
141
00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:31,950
We will send to the
congress of the republic
142
00:05:32,130 --> 00:05:33,660
The bill you create.
143
00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:35,460
The National Lithium Company (NLC).
144
00:05:36,630 --> 00:05:37,110
This.
145
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:40,830
It will seek partners for the
development of value-added projects.
146
00:05:41,610 --> 00:05:43,560
And this means
going the extra mile.
147
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,020
To not only extract
the raw material (ie ore).
148
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,550
But to convert it into new products
of high technological value.
149
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,260
We can do it in Chile.
150
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:54,220
In this area we hope
to have the participation
151
00:05:54,330 --> 00:05:58,200
and leadership of
regional governments.
152
00:05:59,430 --> 00:06:02,220
Given its relevance, lithium
production and reserves.
153
00:06:02,730 --> 00:06:04,350
The Salar de
Atacama in particular.
154
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,120
Deserves special attention
155
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,360
in our strategy.
156
00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:09,600
And in this sense.
157
00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:11,910
Here in Chile and in the world.
158
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,310
We know that we are a
159
00:06:14,430 --> 00:06:15,430
serious and trustworthy country.
160
00:06:16,140 --> 00:06:19,440
We have respected and will
continue to respect existing contracts.
161
00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:20,610
and we know
162
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,620
that in the year 2030
163
00:06:22,980 --> 00:06:27,000
The private lease agreement for an
important part of Salar de Atacama ends.
164
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,520
If we decide to do nothing.
165
00:06:29,850 --> 00:06:31,230
This would just go on like this (staus quo).
166
00:06:32,430 --> 00:06:33,430
Therefore,
167
00:06:33,540 --> 00:06:34,620
we have instructed CORFO
168
00:06:35,010 --> 00:06:37,380
The institution that
manages our lithium reserves.
169
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,270
the (CORFO) President in turn that he
170
00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:41,880
search for the best paths forward..
171
00:06:42,270 --> 00:06:43,380
and to achieve them now
172
00:06:43,620 --> 00:06:47,520
The participation of the Chilean state in
the extraction of the Salar de Atacama coast.
173
00:06:48,750 --> 00:06:49,290
So,
174
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:52,650
As our representatives will
propose to the companies
175
00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:54,360
who are currently situated in each salar.
176
00:06:54,810 --> 00:06:57,150
To have a share of the state
177
00:06:57,390 --> 00:07:00,000
before the expiration
of current contracts.
178
00:07:00,750 --> 00:07:01,750
About.
179
00:07:01,980 --> 00:07:03,300
Two brief considerations:
180
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,080
First of all.
181
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:10,110
In case of forming a public-private company
that exploits litho in the Salar de Atacama.
182
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,900
This will be controlled by
the state through Codelco.
183
00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:15,070
In second place.
184
00:07:15,570 --> 00:07:17,430
The state of Chile
will fully respect
185
00:07:17,550 --> 00:07:19,980
the provisions of
the CURRENT contracts.
186
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:21,640
That is to say.
187
00:07:21,690 --> 00:07:24,570
An anticipated participation of
the state in the Salar de Atacama.
188
00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:26,550
It will be the result of an agreement.
189
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:27,690
With those who currently
190
00:07:27,810 --> 00:07:30,540
have the rights to exploit lithium
(editorial insertion: see LPI)
191
00:07:31,980 --> 00:07:32,980
Besides this.
192
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,510
Exploration and exploitation
contracts will be awarded.
193
00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:37,290
and in regards to ENAMI...
194
00:07:37,410 --> 00:07:38,410
195
00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:43,320
In those salars where there are currently
projects that are in different stages of development.
196
00:07:44,460 --> 00:07:46,050
These companies may decide
197
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,570
if it is convenient or not to associate
198
00:07:48,870 --> 00:07:51,000
on these specific projects with other private ones.
(editorial insertion: See Simbalik, SIMCO, SQM)
199
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,160
For the rest of the salars that are
considered suitable for exploitation.
200
00:07:56,940 --> 00:07:58,530
A process will start that is
201
00:07:58,740 --> 00:07:59,370
transparent and informative to the public
202
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,470
203
00:08:01,770 --> 00:08:02,850
of bidding (editorial insertion: reference issuance of tenders).
204
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:05,280
on derivations of
exploration contracts.
205
00:08:05,730 --> 00:08:09,000
In addition to the surveys that we
will carry out from the State's side.
206
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:12,240
Should the exploration
207
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:13,390
results show potential.
208
00:08:13,980 --> 00:08:17,190
The private party (miner) will
have a preferential
209
00:08:17,370 --> 00:08:18,900
option to request an
exploitation contract
210
00:08:19,140 --> 00:08:21,270
in association with
a state company
211
00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:22,540
such as the
212
00:08:22,620 --> 00:08:23,940
National Lithium Company (NLC).
213
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,440
It should be said.
214
00:08:26,610 --> 00:08:28,950
That for projects of
strategic value for the country.
215
00:08:29,460 --> 00:08:32,550
This association must have a
216
00:08:32,670 --> 00:08:33,900
MAJORITY participation
of the Chilean State.
217
00:08:35,310 --> 00:08:36,750
This process is for compatriots.
218
00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:39,630
It will speed up the
exploration of salars.
219
00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:44,010
And it will provide a space for the
different national and international participants.
220
00:08:44,490 --> 00:08:45,490
If interested,
221
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,640
they can enter the industry
222
00:08:48,210 --> 00:08:49,470
and promote in earnest
223
00:08:49,830 --> 00:08:51,570
a virtuous articulation
224
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,040
of public AND private operations.
225
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,880
We know that brine wetlands
are complex ecosystems.
226
00:08:57,330 --> 00:08:57,930
Unique and highly diverse.
227
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,520
228
00:09:00,295 --> 00:09:03,240
They are suffering
significant degradation globally
229
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,480
as like in our homeland.
230
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,320
For this reason,
this strategy includes
231
00:09:07,650 --> 00:09:10,230
The creation of a network
of protected salar ecosystems
232
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:13,710
in line with the international
obligations committed to by Chile
233
00:09:14,010 --> 00:09:16,020
in the Biodiversity
Framework Convention.
234
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,520
At the same time.
235
00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:20,460
In the salars
that are exploited.
236
00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:25,350
The implementation of technology will be
required to minimize the environmental impact.
237
00:09:25,770 --> 00:09:26,910
In lithium recovery
238
00:09:27,210 --> 00:09:28,210
such as Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE)
239
00:09:28,350 --> 00:09:30,600
with brine RE-injection back into the ground
240
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,070
With science and technology
on our side as a tool.
241
00:09:35,610 --> 00:09:38,850
We will be able to develop
the best extraction techniques.
242
00:09:39,540 --> 00:09:41,130
We will add value to the mineral.
243
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,950
And also guarantee we
have exploitation processes
244
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:46,289
in accordance with the
highest standards of care.
245
00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:48,690
The exploitation of lithium
246
00:09:48,990 --> 00:09:51,840
it evolves along with
biodiversity and communities.
247
00:09:52,770 --> 00:09:53,770
Thus.
248
00:09:54,090 --> 00:09:57,990
We will create the PILNT
(Public Institute of Lithium and New Technologies).
249
00:09:58,650 --> 00:10:01,710
The one to combine efforts in the
field of technological development
250
00:10:01,980 --> 00:10:03,450
with research capabilities.
251
00:10:03,630 --> 00:10:03,780
252
00:10:04,140 --> 00:10:05,140
The ecology.
253
00:10:05,310 --> 00:10:06,030
geology
254
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:07,380
and social sciences.
255
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:08,740
on the salars
256
00:10:08,970 --> 00:10:10,080
choice diversity
257
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,040
for the communities
that live around the projects.
258
00:10:13,304 --> 00:10:14,304
This strategy
259
00:10:14,534 --> 00:10:16,124
should also strengthen
260
00:10:16,364 --> 00:10:18,764
The process of
economic decentralization.
261
00:10:19,154 --> 00:10:19,904
Whereby
262
00:10:20,144 --> 00:10:21,674
this institute as I mentioned
263
00:10:21,974 --> 00:10:25,004
will be located entirely
in the Antofagasta region.
264
00:10:26,474 --> 00:10:27,474
As we will appoint.
265
00:10:27,944 --> 00:10:32,714
My government will guarantee that the indigenous peoples and
those who inhabit the territories in which mining will take place
266
00:10:33,074 --> 00:10:34,074
by this industry
267
00:10:34,154 --> 00:10:35,564
that they will be direct participants
268
00:10:35,714 --> 00:10:36,569
in the benefits that are reaped
269
00:10:36,707 --> 00:10:37,707
270
00:10:38,144 --> 00:10:39,144
No more will it be a situation
271
00:10:39,404 --> 00:10:41,234
of mining just for a few (people).
272
00:10:41,924 --> 00:10:42,764
We have to be able to
273
00:10:42,914 --> 00:10:44,474
274
00:10:45,224 --> 00:10:47,834
to network and to SHARE the
benefits of our country
275
00:10:48,104 --> 00:10:49,214
among all Chileans.
276
00:10:50,114 --> 00:10:52,724
That is why we will
soon start a participatory
277
00:10:52,904 --> 00:10:54,614
process with all
the participants involved.
278
00:10:55,034 --> 00:10:58,034
Local academic scientific
authorities and experts.
279
00:10:58,484 --> 00:11:01,214
Productive companies and
representatives of civil society.
280
00:11:01,664 --> 00:11:03,284
To determine together with them
281
00:11:03,584 --> 00:11:06,284
the new governance of
development and salt deposits.
282
00:11:07,604 --> 00:11:09,074
The National Lithium Policy (NLP).
283
00:11:09,644 --> 00:11:12,284
It is good news
compatriots for the country.
284
00:11:13,154 --> 00:11:15,164
For the boys and girls
who are watching us.
285
00:11:15,644 --> 00:11:17,564
For young people and
their families who live.
286
00:11:17,864 --> 00:11:19,904
Throughout the width
and length of our territory.
287
00:11:20,744 --> 00:11:22,064
It is more wealth for Chile.
288
00:11:22,604 --> 00:11:25,004
That you will be able
to finance new schools,
289
00:11:25,424 --> 00:11:26,424
hospitals, police stations,
290
00:11:26,564 --> 00:11:27,564
291
00:11:28,334 --> 00:11:28,964
and ultimately a more dignified life
292
00:11:29,114 --> 00:11:30,224
293
00:11:30,344 --> 00:11:31,344
for everyone.
294
00:11:32,534 --> 00:11:34,574
But important to note.
295
00:11:35,114 --> 00:11:36,134
And with this I finish.
296
00:11:36,524 --> 00:11:39,074
That we will be responsible
with public finances.
297
00:11:39,764 --> 00:11:40,764
Thus.
298
00:11:40,814 --> 00:11:43,364
Following the recommendations
of the autonomous fiscal council.
299
00:11:43,874 --> 00:11:47,504
A rule will be generated that defines
a spending threshold for lithium revenue.
300
00:11:48,674 --> 00:11:49,674
Thus,
301
00:11:49,754 --> 00:11:55,694
the transitory part of the lithium revenues saved will be
made to ensure the long-term financing of the investments.
302
00:11:56,114 --> 00:11:57,884
Technological and
productive social
303
00:11:58,154 --> 00:12:00,734
thus promoting
sustainable development
304
00:12:01,004 --> 00:12:02,004
and inclusive.
305
00:12:02,264 --> 00:12:03,264
of the country in time.
306
00:12:04,694 --> 00:12:06,554
Accordingly and
this is important.
307
00:12:07,154 --> 00:12:09,224
Given the nature
of lithium revenue.
308
00:12:09,644 --> 00:12:13,174
THESE CANNOT REPLACE A NECESSARY TAX REFORM.
309
00:12:11,354 --> 00:12:13,364
310
00:12:13,754 --> 00:12:16,604
For purposes of financing
permanent social expenses such as
311
00:12:16,874 --> 00:12:19,124
The increase in the universal guaranteed pension
(ie Pensión Garantizada Universal PGU).
312
00:12:19,514 --> 00:12:20,924
or the the National Health Care System (ISAPRE).
313
00:12:21,944 --> 00:12:22,944
Thus.
314
00:12:23,234 --> 00:12:27,824
we call on all political participants
to agree on this important issue.
315
00:12:28,244 --> 00:12:30,194
As we pointed out
this morning in the ENADE convention
316
00:12:31,784 --> 00:12:32,864
Chileans
317
00:12:33,314 --> 00:12:33,854
Today.
318
00:12:34,334 --> 00:12:38,114
We present to you
a technically sound
319
00:12:38,234 --> 00:12:39,234
and ambitious
National Lithium Policy (NLP).
320
00:12:39,614 --> 00:12:42,524
The one that contemplates concrete
and relevant steps of participation.
321
00:12:43,814 --> 00:12:45,464
This strategy increases/expands in time also
322
00:12:45,794 --> 00:12:47,534
on the experience of
those who preceded us.
323
00:12:48,224 --> 00:12:49,514
And I have deep conviction.
324
00:12:49,634 --> 00:12:50,634
325
00:12:50,924 --> 00:12:53,864
That we are taking the appropriate
steps for the lithium industry.
326
00:12:54,224 --> 00:12:56,204
It helps us create a
more prosperous Chile.
327
00:12:56,564 --> 00:12:57,884
with scientific development.
328
00:12:58,454 --> 00:13:01,154
A clean Chile that cares for
its people and its ecosystems.
329
00:13:01,694 --> 00:13:02,324
A Chile that and
330
00:13:02,594 --> 00:13:02,834
of.
331
00:13:03,224 --> 00:13:06,284
Improving the lives of all and all
the inhabitants of our homeland.
332
00:13:07,064 --> 00:13:09,404
A Chile that distributes fairly
333
00:13:09,644 --> 00:13:11,504
the wealth that we all generate.
334
00:13:12,464 --> 00:13:13,814
We are building a more dignified
335
00:13:13,994 --> 00:13:16,064
Chile and we will work together.
336
00:13:16,394 --> 00:13:17,394
With you.
337
00:13:17,594 --> 00:13:18,594
So that it be so.
338
00:13:18,944 --> 00:13:20,174
Advancing presents.
339
00:13:20,594 --> 00:13:21,594
It makes a better future.
340
00:13:22,454 --> 00:13:23,454
Thanks a lot.
341
00:13:26,234 --> 00:13:28,663
We thank the
television channels,
342
00:13:28,784 --> 00:13:32,413
radio stations and all the media
343
00:13:32,564 --> 00:13:36,104
for conveying the message
of the president of the republic
344
00:13:36,224 --> 00:13:37,224
Gabriel.
345
00:13:37,274 --> 00:13:38,274
Item.
346
00:13:39,764 --> 00:13:40,934
Government of Chile
347
00:13:41,204 --> 00:13:43,064
present for a better future.
