So, as per previous posts, on the same day Ganfeng has notified us of its intentions to buy, Sir Iain Duncan Smith no less, openly criticises the idea; and the UK government has been encouraged by a ‘Think Tank,’ that new legislation: ‘The National Security and Investment Act,' should be used to prevent the sale going ahead.
What they fail to recognise is that this lithium mine is situated in Mexico, and only listed in London via its part owner, Bacanora. The Mexican government has already made moves to nationalise its lithium resources, but has spared existing arrangements like the Sonora project. If Ganfeng is prevented from carrying out the takeover, who will step in? Is there an equivalent British company that can develop this Mexican based lithium mine? No. Would the Mexican government listen to a British company with no expertise in lithium mining? No. This mine is either wholly owned and run by Ganfeng, or the Mexican government.
Any MI6 agents, GCHQ spies, civil servants or MP’s / government officials reading this know that the era of empire is over. We have no say over what happens in Mexico. The sale of the company to Ganges will ensue the drug cartels get nowhere near it.
By the way, BoJo is the greatest loser. I voted SNP.
