Neil:  "It's always darkest before the dawn."

So, who turned out the lights, eh?

Note to Jon Evans:  "Turn the LIghts ON, Jon!!!"

"it likely reflects a strong degree of confidence that Cauchari-Olaroz remains on track to begin production in mid-2022, only seven to eight months from now."  And when was that pontificated prognostication published?  Well it is a definitive statement from an article published back on 22 November 2021:

Lithium Americas’ Reflects Confidence That Cauchari-Olaroz Project Begins Production in Mid-2022 | the deep dive

So, 8 months form 22 November 2021 would be.... 22 July 2022. 

See the linked article also for the Construction Schedule published by LAC for Cauchari-Olaroz in H2.  It isn't shown at the end of H2, 2022, it is shown at the beginning of H2, 2022 and  "Lafayette, we are here!"

(Crediting, of course, Colonel Charles E. Stanton on July 4th, 1917 at the grave of Lafayette in France.)

Remember the old Motel 6 commercial, Jon.  At least Tom Bodett left the light on for us.

Now would be a good time, Jon.  Flip the switch at Cauchari-Olaroz, pronto.  H2 is here.
