" maybe we can own shares in a functioning mine instead of a soap opera."

Be careful what you wish for....

Keep in mind that RML's "favoured company" status will likely only last for as long as Hugo stays in control. If things get tough in Ven and someone throws him out then all his "favourites" are likely to get tossed out as well..

Imagine the scenerio where RML gets all of KRY and GRZ and then Hugo gets tossed out in a coup and RML gets tossed out on its ear (maybe for good cause, maybe not, but do you really think all that RML has achieved was done "by the book")....

Shareholders get stiffed again!
