Great, very recent article. According to the article there's a subset of Negotiated Extraction, which is Asymmetrical Extraction, or a kind of negotiate and divide and conquer approach, which is what LAC seems to have adopted, to their credit. The article reminds us that successful projects are not guaranteed, and we should commend LAC's team in moving this project forward. We should trust the same team to successfully get Thacker Pass up and running.

I'll quote the parts that I think you were attempting to copy to no avail.

"In Olaroz, Sales de Jujuy, a consortium led by Orocobre, faced some resistance from an organisation of indigenous residents, La Apacheta, which opposes mining altogether. The standstill it faced in the east of Jujuy because of community resistance to its plans may have led Orocobre to see that non-negotiated extraction was not a feasible option and that negotiation, ideally asymmetrical, was its best strategy. Whether or not the company had learned this lesson from the east Puna, La Apacheta’s resistance surely underscored the urgency of investing in building community support in Olaroz in order both to weaken pressures for symmetrical negotiated extraction or, worse, a no extraction standstill as in Salinas Grande-Guayatayoc. Orocobre enlisted a local geologist and also benefited from the support of the provincial government. The company soon reached a set of agreements, negotiated on a case-bycase, ‘divide and conquer’ basis with local indigenous communities guaranteeing jobs, annual monetary payments, and modest public works, such as building a new school and an internet access centre. This negotiated extraction allowed the company to start profitably mining in 2015, making it only the second company to actually begin mining lithium in Argentina.

In the Cauchari salar, adjacent to Olaroz, the Chinese company Ganfeng and the Canadian company Lithium Americas Corporation launched the Exar joint venture, which seems to have emulated  successfully Sales de Jujuy’s strategy of asymmetrically negotiated extraction. Having cut a series of community-by-community deals, Exar is now poised to become Argentina’s third lithium-producing company."
