Magowl, it was AN - Gutierrez who stated the large Regional Mining Plan had to be completed before the LC project would get announced, and I believe we are just about there. Hopefully, this will have been the last time the tree has been shaken for cheap, easy shares. What more can Chavez and the media throw at us!

I vision a permit announcement after the election, Chavez will announce live, for his own protection, on his Alo Presidente broadcast, and the ribbon cutting/champagne will be toasted at Las Cristinas with Sanz/Rangel holding some of that glittering gold. I've dreamt this many times over that it's going to be a fairy tale ending ....LOL! IMO.
