Mr. Tsafos has alluded to it. You know, there is a great interplay between energy resources around the world, and our reliance on the types of critical minerals that underpin batteries and their deployment in both transportation and utilities as well as in other areas overlaps really well with China's global ambitions. China's global ambitions in Central America and South America are the subject of many public studies. Their investments in infrastructure in those regions would probably benefit from the acquisition of a lithium mine there. Also, the export and foreign direct investment objectives of Chinese automakers into those regions that have less disposable income and that could accommodate Chinese-produced vehicles at lower costs with lower customer expectations of range and durability make lithium more viable in Argentina than it would be in New York or Ontario, or for that matter in Coahuila.
