Abstract
Tightness in the lithium market is set to remain for up to a decade due to delays in securing the appropriate regulatory framework in Chile, a senior executive at Canada-based junior mining firm Wealth Minerals told special correspondent Andrea Hotter.Demand for lithium has skyrocketed in recent months following a boost to demand for the batteries used in electric vehicles. “The supply side of the equation will catch up, but I think the market will continue [to be] in deficit or very tight for the next seven to 10 years before the supply side can catch demand. Because Chile is running behind, because the government has taken so long to release the regulatory framework for investors,” he told Metal Bulletin. Strategic plan The strategic plan of the junior mining company is to develop all deposits up to bankable feasibility study stage, with all environmental permits in place, and then enter into joint ventures for them.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
