General LPI Discussion, page-8

You're absolutely right, my friend. The intention has always been to develop Stage 2. The recent government announcement simply solidifies what has been in progress for a couple of years. The market's response was mainly due to sensationalist headlines claiming that Chile was nationalizing lithium. In reality, every nation has systems in place to profit from mining activities occurring within their borders. Based on this announcement, it seems that the development of LPI's Stage 2 will actually be accelerated, as the government will be eager to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new lithium policy and how it benefits their citizens.
