The new mining law is irrelevant. It is probably going to be ok,

You spend a lot of time describing the negative scenario, about what might happen to Aurelian stockholders , but spend no time elaborating on "its probably gonna be ok"

Aurelian has a long standing "good" reputation in Ecuador, unlike the oil & gas companies, which try to take as much of the natural resources out of the country with little or no benefit to the gov`t or the native population. Something this mining mandate is supposed to change!

Also, the timing of your post strikes me as a lil too convienient, as I just recieved my offer from Kinross today, LOL
