  • Meanwhile, President Boric is attending the UN General Assembly meeting in New York today, where he is due to speak later.
  • In other news, Tianqi Lithium, a key shareholder in Chilean miner SQM, has said that it will continue in its battle to have a say in the SQM deal with Codelco that would determine ownership of the key Atacama salt flat lithium operation. The deal agreed earlier this year would see SQM cede a majority stake in the operation to Codelco in exchange for 30 more years of operations. However, Tianqi, which holds a 22% stake in SQM, has resisted the move, raising the prospect of legal action.
