Imo considering the info you have already been spoon-fed, this is now approaching deception/lying status.
Let's put this EIA report submission stuff to bed once and for all, with the FACTS:
QTRLY activities report; March 2019:
"In addition, the Company submitted regulatory documents and permitting applications for the development of an initial ~2000tpa commercial operation module lithium carbonate processing plant and associated operations at the Rincon project site. Furthermore, the Company is currently preparing applications for the full commercial scale project development approvals/permits for a 10,000tpa operation."
Announcement; 9th January 2020 - Rincon project approval granted:
"Government of Salta Province approves Company’s Environmental Impact Report for development of the ~2,000tpa lithium process plant and subsequent lithium production operations at Rincon Lithium Project"
[note: this approvals process took about 12 months]
QTRLY activities report; Dec 2020:
"Environmental Impact Assessment report for the commercial scale 10,000tpa operation and project development progressing to final completion, with completed baseline and associated sections submitted to the department of the Salta Province Secretary of Mining."
QTRLY activities report; March 2021:
"Environmental Impact Assessment report for the commercial scale 10,000tpa operation and project development submitted.."
Announcement; 23 July 2021 - Rincon EIA update for 10,000tpa expansion:
AGY reiterates that the report was submitted as per previous announcement: "The Company submitted its Environmental Impact Assessment for an additional 10,000tpa Li2CO3 production operation..."
AGY updates on progress, including: "The Company’s Puna Mining operations management team met with Ms Flavia Royon – the recently appointed Salta Province Secretary of Mining and Energy to ensure the continual progress of the EIA approvals process for the Rincon 10,000tpa expansion operation, with Ms Royon being provided a tour of the Company’s industrial scale pilot plant operation (refer to video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUTKpZDpLbw)."

"The Company submitted its Environmental Impact Assessment for an additional 10,000tpa lithium carbonate production operation to the department of the Salta Province Secretary of Mining and Energy, who are currently processing the report. Argosy and Puna Mining senior executives held a recent meeting with the Salta Province Secretary of Mining and Energy, where the Secretary outlined the priority status of the Company’s Rincon Lithium Project to the Salta Province government, and their continued cooperation and assistance to ensure progress for the development of the 10,000tpa expansion operation stage."
QTRLY activities report; Mar 2022:
AGY reiterates that the report has been submitted and is being processed:
"The Company submitted its Environmental Impact Assessment for an additional 10,000tpa lithium carbonate production operation to the department of the Salta Province Secretary of Mining and Energy, who are currently processing the report. Puna Mining senior executives are maintaining regular communication with Salta government officials to ensure effective finalisation of the Company’s EIA approvals process. The Secretary reaffirmed her department’s priority and attention to our Rincon Lithium Project development."
QTRLY activities report; June 2022:
AGY reiterates that the report has been submitted and is being processed:
"The Company submitted its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for an additional 10,000tpa lithium carbonate production operation to the department of the Salta Province Secretary of Mining and Energy, who are currently processing the report. Argosy and Puna Mining senior executives held meetings with Salta government officials to ensure effective finalisation of the Company’s EIA approval process, with the Company maintaining regular communication seeking to expedite official approval receipt. The Company remains confident a positive outcome will be confirmed."
QTRLY activities report; Sep 2022:
AGY reiterates that the report has been submitted and is being processed:
"The Company submitted its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for an additional 10,000tpa lithium carbonate production operation to the department of the Salta Province Secretary of Mining, who is currently processing the report. Argosy and Puna Mining senior executives held meetings with Salta government officials to ensure effective finalisation of the Company’s EIA approval process, with the Company maintaining regular communication seeking to expedite official approval receipt. The Company remains confident of a positive outcome."
Actually, in EACH quarterly report since June 2021, the company has REITERATED that the EIA report for the expansion was submitted, yet you NONSENSICALLY (or more likely imo purposefully deceptively) latch on to that statement from the June 2022 quarterly as some kind of "evidence" that the complete report was not submitted UNTIL that time. What a poor level of research and comprehension on your part, imo.
The issue I have is not that you made some sort of innocent mistake, it is the fact that you repeatedly ignore the evidence provided to you, seemingly in order to extend unsubstantiated FUD about AGY's approvals process, and make repeated fanciful claims about apparent timing etc.
All simply to mislead others, it seems.
Thanks for clarifying your claims yesterday btw: "EIA for 10ktpa still multiple years away due to final submission only a few months ago" That one is coming back to you soon.
Anyone can see from the above FACTS that I have posted directly from AGY announcements that your forecast and claim is baseless and blatantly incorrect. Repeating it over and over doesn't make it right btw.
You really should focus this new year on improving your research skills; there are plenty of contributors here willing to help out those who are a bit green and struggle putting the pieces together. Feel free to ask plenty of questions and I'm sure many here will gladly help you understand AGY's progress and potential.
