Mick, I came across a lithium industry presentation given by Mining Minister Baldo Prokurica in late May 2018 and it covered a range of issues including the Maricunga. I could not translate the slides from Spanish to English but it seemed to me that Baldo was emphasising the importance of public and private investment with one not being at the exclusion of the other. I see an eventual negotiated outcome for the benefit of all parties on the Maricunga but like you Mick, hope it is sooner rather than later.
