Wow, you really are insufferable aren't you? I already addressed the old code ground in a previous post.
"Also to be noted that our property rights were not recognised until a few days after Pinera took power. I don't think this was a coincidence in timing. I believe the previous government did not want to recognise our right to exploit lithium from our old code tenements, though would of likely been forced to do so eventually, but not without dragging it out for as long as possible in an attempt to strong arm us in to giving them what they wanted. They made their intentions pretty clear after issuing a CEOL to Codelco covering properties that they do not own"
Your quote - "What I should of said is that exploitation of lithium in Chile is currently reserved by the state, unless you're able to obtain a special operating contract from the state". Yes but the point I was making is that you only need a special operating contract for new code ground, which you did not clarify. You wouldn't make a good corporate or government advisor as your research and advice is slapstick. Go have another gin and tonic if you find me 'insufferable' (said with a plumb in his mouth).
