If you were one of the big producers, that all are losing production monthly, because they lack replacement ounces...how long would you wait...how long would your shareholders allow you to wait?
re Ecuador, with how many presidents in the last 10 years?....what would you wait for, the first president to last 4 years? What then? This is latin america, you deal with whoever is in power...once the mining law comes out, and it is on track, that's the green flag for gold producers
Gold mining= risk, whever you are...ask Peter Monk
Ecuador politics mean little to them, except dollar signs. Don't be fooled. More companies are salivating over this baby than you think. All IMO.
Gentlemen...start your engines.
