More questions than answers in Lithium Power International’s Monday response to Street Talk’s report on the situation in Chile, where the company is exploring in the mineral-rich region known as the Lithium Triangle.

To recap, the ASX-listed company is working on a project on the Salar de Maricunga in Chile’s north, which analysts expect will be a major source of lithium. Edison Investment Research, which specialises in small caps, expects the project to give Lithium Power a valuation of around $1.8 billion.
