For our situational awareness, I'm providing a link to Australia's exploration company Jindalee's reporting of their stake in Oregon. It would surpass Thacker Pass as the largest resource, not that that is terribly important considering they are so early in development. 

But, I draw your attention to the statement near the bottom "He also pointed to Chinese giant Ganfeng Lithium's increasing focus on both the Thacker Pass and Sonora projects, which should give the market the confidence in the potential of lithium clays, beyond Jindalee's promising metallurgical test work."

Is there a disinformation campaign going on related to some conspiracy theory that China wants to (or has a chance to) buy up Thacker Pass? I've seen some posts and reporting by either LAC short sellers or anti-Thacker Pass entities that claim this, but this was published in a mining news site.
