I personally do not trust a single word put down in main stream media, they over time are usually proven totally wrong and are nothing more than propoganda conduites for the establishment in my opinion.

I especially do not trust them when the largest section of quote that is reported from a speach is " too low " hahahahahahaha.

Instead, i will go with all the very positive, first hand, comments made at the Denver show by Ecuadors minister and representitive here. Made to an audiance of future potential investors in Ecuador.

Why accept second hand comments reported in a paper when you can get them first hand.

Ecuador will have huge amounts of investment to draw revenue from if they issue an attractive mining and taxation policy.

As stated at the Denver show, the supposed Windfall Tax has been done away with, due to the withdrawing of mining investment in the only other country in the world who thought to impose one on mining.

This is only logical, since imposing a Windfall tax on mining is the kiss of death for our particular industry.

If Ecuador wants a mining industry, which they certainly could use in my opinion, then they will not impose a mining windfall tax.

F.F.
