Here I am sitting waiting for a big northern California storm to wash the hillside down or blow more tree limbs onto my cars again...I'll probably lose power at some point during the day, but I'm awfully glad I was able to hear this conference with Patrick and George before that happens!
This information that they presented is somewhat akin to what alot of us here have imagined....I have posted before that they might be thinking of mining this deposit themselves if need be, and that George, and FDN itself, could attract the quality personnel to make this happen. I hope they sale FDN as a single entity and keep the rest of their sweetest 95,000 hectares on earth to a new ARU 2!
The question asked of Patrick as to where else he would go to mine, was maybe asked to put the Fear in to Correa's mind that they would leave because of the political climate in Ecuador, but where else would they find the great potential that they are already sitting on and own the concessions to!
Any other country will now know who Patrick and Keith are, and will think that they are some of the best explores around, thus making it more expensive to them for any new lands that they would explore, or just watch what or where they are going and possible take what they are interested in for themselves!
After working so hard to make this exploration in Ecuador come true, and now hopefully being on the "Good side" of the government...it seems to me that to keep exploring on this great piece of Earth only make logical sense!
Just my thoughts on this News...
