Climber18,_I watch_Aclara every_day but_I still
just don't see the new spark of activity/exploration/permitting/cash-influx that encourages me to invest more in this stock. The Aclara PR trick last November to make it look like CORFO was "on board" with Aclara and a "good buddy-buddy" with Aclara https://www-df-cl.translate.goog/empresas/mineria/corfo-se-lanza-contra-minera-aclara-dice-que-no-hizo-una-valoracion?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp really turned me off on Ramón Barúa and his ethics/integrity/vision and viable plan for becoming established in Chile.

I want to hope Aclara is going to be successful but it is not going to get a "break" in Chile (esp Penco) while Boric's thieving commies are running the government. Similarly in Brazil as long as Lula is running the government it will take a huge amount of under the table bribes/payoffs to the bureaucrats to get the proper mining permits and I am doubtful that will change until Bolsonaro can get back in the presidential office.

4 months have now passed.
The ARA share price has fallen in line with the market as a whole.

Do you have a new opinion on ARA?

And one more thing:
Thank you for your regular contributions on LTHHF / BRZ / LPI....
They have been instructive for the reader, often even entertaining.

Climber18,_Ramón Barúa_is a_master at_PR, but_always "light"
on concrete "profit-making" hard results that you (as an investor) can actually "take to the bank" and personally prosper upon. His newest PR opportunity speaks of being promising, flashy and is professionally slick but does not really change anything even one peso https://www-guiaminera-cl.translate.goog/aclara-expone-ante-autoridades-en-brasil-y-recibe-apoyo-para-avanzar-con-su-proyecto-carina/?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
You need to be extremely conservative until these guys actually start turning shovelfuls of dirt on the new project in Brazil.

Unfortunately, Brazil is currently treading on dangerous ground today by loudly complicating/protesting/severing relations with Israel https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/bolivia-severs-diplomatic-ties-with-israel-citing-crimes-against-humanity-2023-10-31/
In retaliation if Israel sends a message to the Jewish bankers in New York, London, Zurich, etal to cut-off/squeeze loans going to Brazil then in dominoes-falling collateral damage effect Aclara is going to have a hard time getting funding for this new project in Brazil. Also, Penco in Chile is virtually dead until at least 2026 and then only will have a chance to even start up if Jose Antonio Kast is elected president and reins in these phony environmentalist (and commie) extortionists.

After you recently mentioned AclaraResources ( ARA.TO ), I looked into this company ( thank you ).
It does not look bad.
I have already picked up some shares.

I also like:

As at June 30, 2023, the Company had a

It is hard to believe the short-sighted leftists/commies in this temporary Chilean government of communistas are so stupid that they are endorsing all these roadblocks/delays to Aclara over 6 focking scraggly orange trees which you could buy new superior-bred more-healthy in any nursery for $400 to $600 each as replacements re-positioned to any property in Penco the whining environmentalists wanted to preserve/block-off for their cherished tribal orange-sucking parties in lieu of having 900 new high-paying jobs in Penco on the Aclara mining works.

Dear Aclara, when talking to Aurora you will need to get your mouth within 12 inches of her right side ear... then talk loudly to her using simple precise sentences... and with your left hand politely cover her left side ear hole preventing any air/sound from immediately escaping her vacuous head. This simple procedure will keep whatever you say into her right side ear hole will stay inside her head and simply not blow out her left side ear two seconds after you say it to her.

This is a clear violation of an abuse of power in the clandestine service of nearby rich/NIMBY landowners & Eco-extortionists. Silvana Suanes needs to be made the poster child of this type of petty bureaucratic corruption/abuse for future would-be perpetrators of such reprehensible behavior in the perverted name of environmentalism to see/remember.

Once Aclara leaves Penco then some leftist/commie beaner brand new rare-earth miner (most likely with an indian or lesbian/queer JV partner after a year or two if scheming Marcela Hernando is elected president in 2026) will suddenly come in to this project brand spanking new, amazingly discover rare earths in the ground, get the financing to start a project (using Mario Marcel's contacts) and begin mining Penco almost immediately with tonnes of approved permits happily coming out of thierass overnight from Marcela (including SEA) and making gobs of money for the leftists/commies. How Mario Marcel could travel up to Canada in June 2023 for Chile Day https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chile-day-toronto-opens-market-150800395.html and invite honest hard-working capitalist Canadians to come down to Chile to invest their seed money in this corrupt extortion-happy backstabbingshithole Chile just boggles the mind.

Dear Anti-Mining Minister Marcela Hernando, I would be willing to bet a million bucks that after you and your rabid thieving leftist/commie conspirators (and fellow half-breed indians) drive Aclara out of Chile (to Brazil) that one of your bloodsucking leftist/commie patrons buys the Penco land if you get elected president in 2026 and coincidentally opens up a rare earths mining/processing operation almost identical to the one Aclara was trying to start up. Let's hope your patron stupidly illegally tries to use an Aclara patented mining procedure in Penco and he gets hisass sued all the way back to hell.

Hopefully the deal-killing NIMBY anti-mining Biobío bureaucrats will have higher echelon state overseers watching over their shoulders this time who will make sure real civil/mining engineers are given the responsibility to technically review this new SEA permit as opposed to having typical incompetent beaner seafood fishery inspectors review (and auto-kill) Aclara's SEA application again.

Chile has enabled every greedy little conniving Tom, Dick & Harry & Julio with a grudge against miners or looking for a bribe to kill any SEA study with the click of their fingers. For Penco a couple of self-important puffed up political hacks at the Biobío Environmental Assessment Service have taken aim at this Penco project and blown 6 scraggly orange out of perspective anointing them as sacred creations when they could easily be replaced or relocated for $400 each. Chile under Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric and ultra-communist Anti-Mining Marcela Hernando have declared war on miners... especially Canadian gringo miners.

We are certainly impressed by Ramón Barúa's new efforts but we would like to see some reassuring endorsements for the project from these leftists/commies/naysayers/Penco-homeowners/politicians now. President Gabriel Boric's juvenile leftist effeminate government has been cutting the balls off every junior miner in Chile for the past year and we investors need to see some tangible proof that the same won't happen to Aclara next.

Aclara_Provides 2022_Review and 2023_Outlook
https://investingnews.com/aclara-provides-2022-review-and-2023-outlook/

On paper this all sounds reasonable, logical, and pragmatic for developing this project along fundamentally good ESG (Environmental, Social, & Governance) guidelines in an ideal capitalist-loving free-enterprise country but I have spent the last 10 years invested in a Chilean lithium mine near corrupt slimy leftist-controlled Copiapo (reference stab-us-in-the-back ladies-man beaner Governor Miguel Vargas) in Maricunga Chile that has yet to sell even one kilogram of lithium and to think Chileans are anywhere even near being reasonable, logical, and pragmatic is a total freaking waste of time. If you are not fighting right wing fascists in the real & shadow government dead set on killing your project through government regulation/bureaucracy to protect the existing old world upper 1% ultra-wealthy elites/class of white Spanish descent who control powerful existing claim-jumping mining companies then you are fighting left-wing commies intent on nationalizing your new mine a few minutes after you have spent all your seed/start-up money perfecting the research/engineering/pilot-plants plus corralling all the free-loading eco-terrorist flat-out extorting cocaine snorting indians (Mapuche, Colla, Camar etal ad nauseam) to get their sign-offs after they have been fully 110% satiated through bribery/kickbacks.

If the Aclara "Outlook" writers could next address in their Penco plan how they actually intend to satisfy all the corrupt conniving thieving foot-dragging government bureaucrats in the current leftist/commie anti-mining government led by commie-loving Mommy's Boy Gabby Boric and Anti-Mining Minister Marcela Hernando along with their plan for getting the locals (eg bloodsuckers, freeloaders, moochers, dopers, part-time eco-terroist indians descendant from Russian Inuit/Eskimos hundreds of years ago) to even allow this project to begin to go forward on their "tribal lands" (aka sacred junkyards/landfills) then we potential/future shareholders would indeed greatly appreciate this additional "direction/input" also.
