News: LPI Chile's Codelco to decide by early 2020 on Maricunga lithium project, page-9

They should delay their drilling to focus on our current asset as we already in the final stage of the EIA.
we can pursue second stage drilling for future expansion.
codelco given $10 m for drilling, maybe they can contribute this money to msb.

The mining mister travelled to india to get more investments from their as well. They are very keen to boost lithium in chile. It is a Mandate from the top government so i dont think Codelco will back down this time.
