Anyone that listens to Joe Lowry's podcast will know that Joe has been anti-GXY for quite some time. And, listening to his latest (episode 84) gives further insight into where his deep-seated dislike of GXY emanates from.

His latest "issue" was a thinly veiled swipe at the government of Salta following the announcement it would allow exportation of lithium brine to have the value addition take place in another country. Joe believes this is a short sighted decision (unless it is somehow limited to be brief period of time). Joe even mentions GXY in his explanation of why he thinks this is a bad idea, and talks about the time he tried to dissuade a battery maker from setting up shop in Argentina.

As we know, Joe's deal making aspirations (at SDV) were thwarted by the market conditions and the lack of quality in the deal (for GXY). Joe's vendetta has continued to this day, despite a small peace offering not so long ago after a conversation with Simon Hay.

Anyway, the reason I raise this matter is that is now apparent (or at least it would appear that Joe thinks so) that GXY isn't too far off a deal and he is not a fan of the direction the deal is heading. Why not throw out a few hand grenades to try to thwart a successful outcome?
