Agree, NIMBYs will try anything at their disposal to stop this but you have to think SQM has also done their approporate due diligence in light of the CRMA, NetZero and other initiatives coming into effect. They would have easily walked away if they thought this wouldn't see the light of day?

Also not a good look for the Sweden's Govt to have a globally significant lithium company pull out developing this depoait in the future at a time where China is threatening EUs automotive sector.

Let's hope further drilling and exploration efforts see this deposit being economically viable to develop as I see this being the only meaningful thing stopping it.
