"question: if the new consitution fails the vote and the old congress regains power, how do you see this affecting mining in ecuador and ARU?

IMO this could cause more uncertainty and the SP could be stalled or lose steam?"

In another word, "Are we there yet?"

Sorry my friend, I don't have the answers you seek any more than any of the other posters on this Board. In fact, I am not even sure Senor Correa has all the answers either. Much depend on Senor Correa's political fortune with his own people and we are just in for the ride. Since we placed our bets, whether or not we like it or even know it, on our friend Rafael gets all - or at least most - of his wishes.

Owning ARU is not for the faint of heart, the impatient, or the ones who lack resolve. If you don't have any of those checked off you are in the wrong investment.
