Well, as long as the police are content that's fine, night night Jim.
The content police? or you sleep walking?
Does that bother you Jim?
But you keep coming back to read it, I take it you read or just cast an opinion perhaps,
Not as exhausting as ploughing through all the crap on here.
though! : )
Well @Ericthered,
that must have been an exhausting day for you dreaming up the encore - it does show the extent of your creativity.
@News,
my view is that either CATL or BYD would be the companies to be providing batteries to Tesla in Mexico, CATL already supply Tesla elsewhere and would be my first choice as it appears by gossip they will be providing model 2 batteries but they have in the past pulled out of plans to build a Mexican plant, BYD are close to announcing a Mexican plant and do provide Tesla elsewhere.
I'm not hopeful that the Morena party will backtrack on A_LO's plans for lithium, although a longshot is that the narcissists will want to have a legacy showing he was responsible for the development of the lithium industry.
Not forgetting GM and Ford are JV's with CATL
https://cnevpost.com/2024/03/29/catl-plans-plant-with-gm-north-america-tech-licensing-report/
GM already works closely with CATL, but that relationship is limited to the China market. The deal reportedly being discussed would bring that partnership to North America in the form of a joint battery plant located in either the U.S. or Mexico, along with a GM license agreement for CATL’s LFP battery tech.
Night night all.
Excellent @jimb2.
I quote verbatim from your article: " Lopez Obrador recalled the CONVERSATION with ELON MUSK was very productive, on 2 OCCASSIONS and HE WAS VERY RECEPTIVE." Dated 1 Mar 2023.
With Elon, never say never? Anyway, TESLA 's Gigafactory is awaited. I already posted about " M E X I C O - SILICON VALLEY FOR GREEN ENERGY." In the Reddit group , it is started under CADENCE MINERALS. But the Reddit group ended 1 year ago and they DONT KNOW WHO IS THE EV GROUP/S PARTICIPATING IN SONORA so that is awaited.
REM-KDNC
I am surprised that there is SUCH OBJECTION just discussing SONORA which is a VALUABLE ASSET TO CADENCE VIA REM MEXICO. CADENCE MKT CAP IS £7M and covered by EMH and Evergreen but will not cover the £7m if sold from my cals last night. But others can do further sums as I am not up on all the investments. AMAPA will take some time and it is useful if SONORA can be sorted out. IT IS A VERY MAJOR ASSET TO CADENCE-REM MEXICO. So, why no interest on this forum, I am not sure. But I will leave it to ya all. Franky is on the other RRR forum and I see everyone has gone so I had better take my leave as well. Thank you. News, Tues, 23.4.24.
Appreciated news… Tesla is definitely in a position to negotiate with mexico on the back of their gigafactory development to unlock their historical offtake interests in our sonora jv… and tesla have already commenced construction of their own lithium processing plant in Texas capable of processing lithium clays no less… amongst other more conventional ores… coincidence or forward planning… all those speculations made many years ago could indeed become real…
Have we been
Taken over by BOTs
My recollection is that AMLO was vocal at the time expecting Elon Musk to invest in lithium mining in Sonora, again if I recall correctly Mexico could not meet the US subsides being offered whereby the subsidy was greater than the investment so something like for a $1 invested the US gov would give $1.50 - I do recall AMLO giving that as the reason Tesla declined his offer

So, the TESLA and Mex gov agreement for the Tesla Gigafactory is well known. I have other links as well if wanted ie govt chasing Elon. If there is an agreement and if Elon doesnt build in time etc, there could be more chasing etc. No one has seen the agreement but the general info is known. Hope that clarifies tomcat-14.

If you are asking me, then I can provide the courtesy of a reply. The above is already known as above so NO NEED to verify. Why? You can look at "Reddit: Could TELSA Mexico revive this 2015 lithium supply deal or be the start of Tesla mining.?- 1 yr ago. Type this title into the search engine to view. EV posted the links 1 yr ago but they were awaiting then the formalisation of talks with Tesla. Now, Tesla is going to build the MEXICAN GIGAFACTORY to ship to the USA. In the Reddit thread, they also have a LINK to Mexican Govt speaking to car manufacturers etc relating to SONORA Lithium. That is FACT now given the link to Claudia Scheinbeum, Mexican President Front Runner in recent days saying that Mexico is going to develop Sonora with their own Geo's etc and they have SPOKEN and TRAVELLED abroad relating to this. @jimb2 would also be aware since EV and jimb2 have also spoken ie convo but not maybe on this thread. That is why I came to post because KDNC.L has closed down like other site - I can get into it if I want but I came to chat to see if anyone knows anything else. EV, Degsie, Obs, Barksy1 and the Club REM have disappeared - Barks is on leave chilling.
Can this be verified… it doesn’t acknowledge any of the recent nationalisation measures and doesn’t seem plausible to me… is mexital mining supposed to be referencing mexalit with the letters scrambled up…
Lithium is the primary metal used to manufacture rechargeable batteries which is the main component in Tesla’s electric vehicles. The lithium in Sonora is already being “exploited by Bacanora Lithium company and Mexital Mining” which is a joint partnership with Tesla.[25] The lithium mining has caused severe environmental issues that violate the provisions under the Sonora River Trust...
Is this guy trying to sell paper for loo studys
@jimb2 Thank you for the courtesy of your reply. NEWS just OUT: "US to take aim at Chinese banks aiding Russia war effort."-WSJ reports, 23.4.24 from The Standard. "THE US IS DRAFTING S A N C T I O N S cut off some banks off from the global financial system." Call up the title to read.
Why some banks? There are mega banks like HSBC and if they cut that as well, then it will affect everyone in the West as well given some of these global mega banks are in the UK as well. So, the above is just a series of articles out today and therefore, it would now appear that is the reason why SONORA [GAN/BCN] is a political issue as said by one article.
Interesting that BCN should have gone it alone with REM. But oh , well, that is life. Thank you. Tues, 23.4.24.
@News,
Given you spoke to OBSERVER842 last wk,
apologies, that may have been confusing when I said
“@Observer842 would have posted with much greater detail than you will find in my posts, I did exchange many views with him - we touched on this a week back, he is certainly missed on here”
I was referring to the exchange of posts with other posters on the fact that @Observer842 no longer posts here.
@jimb2
I will run through a few points with you if I may. 1st of all, the REM'ers are NOT here except you & a few others. The rest are either at Reddit Wall St Bets or elsewhere @Club REM. Given you spoke to OBSERVER842 last wk, I will summarise what I know and found out TODAY. So bear with me given there are 3 CLUBS @REM. ==Reddit was aware that the MEXICAN Govt was holding talks with TESLA 1 yr ago. WHETHER REM CLUBS know that there is an OFFICIAL AGREEMENT as per the title above I dont know. Because there is an LEGAL AGREEMENT, the gov is chasing TESLA to START CONSTRUCTION ON TIME IN MEXICO @GIGAFACTORY. Reddit REM Club also knows that the MEXICAN GOVT have conducted TALKS WITH CAR GROUPS TO BE PARTNERS @SONORA LITHIUM but REM Club cannot confirm if it is TESLA that will be helping with Sonora. But the above title states SO.
SONORA LITHIUM: So if TESLA STARTS CONSTRUCTION etc in Mexico, they will be getting LITHIUM FROM SONORA. BCN /GAn said Sonora lithium in production WILL BE THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD. SONORA LICENCES NATIONALISED AND TAKEN BACK FROM GANFENG/BCN & REM MEXICO. Not up to me to postulate who will get the licences - up to each one to keep their hopes it may be Gan/BCN but from the link I gave, the gov will NOT COMMENT so doesnt look too positive.
Not surprised as the govt have already held talks re: EV vehicle partners and Club REM thinks it is TESLA. The title as above suggest it could be.
REM MEXICO : The KCNC RNS was 16 Nov 2023 saying they have appointed Clifford Chance to speak to the Mex gov re: discussions and negotiations but todate, KIRAN HAS NOT UPDATE whether they got a welcome or cold reception, the latter of which Gan appears to have got. WHY SO LONG OF NO SOUND --OVER 5 MONTHS NOW. EVEN IF GOVT SAID NO, THAT IS ALSO POSITIVE AS FILING FOR INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION CAN TAKE PLACE. SO, KDNC HAS TO JUST LOOK FOR A FUNDER and there are quite a few firms doing that . AVZ got A$20m to fund int. arb vs DRC gov and interim ruling in AVZ's favour. Clifford Chance would NOT have taken REM MEXIC'S CASE ON IF THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE so one assumes there is enough legal material.
KDNC RNS: It could just spring out one morning and only possibly 3 scenarios: [1] NO, IS THE ANSWER FROM THE GOV. [2] YES, BUT THE SUM IS NOT AS LARGE AS MANY MAY WISH FOR like Bannor wants $150m or £150m. [3] Not sure if WH Ireland has given a potential payout valuation given the broker note is NOT fully seen. [4] Some compromise. The Sonora situation is actually important to KDNC as it would help if a resolution is achieved.
I checked Degsie and he last posted in Mar 2024 so cant ask if he can get the WH Ireland note to see re:Sonora. I have seen an S & P GLOBAL note on SONORA valuation. So, over to you or anyone else if they care to share notes as to where we all are at. Thanks. Tues, 23.4.24 Not editing. Just came in.

Some studies suggest that people with higher IQs tend to sleep less and later, and are more likely to be night owls. For example, a Northwestern University study called "Night Owls" found that people with higher IQs tend to sleep less, and that the IQ drops by one deviation for each hour of sleep lost. Another study by psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa found that people in their 20s with a normal IQ tended to go to sleep at around 12:10 a.m., while those with a lower IQ went to bed at 11:41 p.m., and those labelled "very bright" hit the sack at 12:29.
Who am I to argue with good research!

Md, fat fingers? I take it you mean obs, try not to imagine, obs, ev, news, Jimb having one of their days together.
What a way to end your life reading their postings and slowly and painfully drifting into a coma. You could try a light version by adopting the mantra obs, ev, news, Jimb,obs, ev, news, Jimb,obs, ev, news, Jimb before falling asleep ideal for any Insomniacs. zzzz
