this latest article on the gold sale law (suprisingly from el progresso) contains a qoute that i believe will end up being the driving force of change in the gold sector of venezuela...basically, all of the "easy surface gold is gone".....this means future gold production must be done on an industrial scale...

Douglas Oak, union leader of PMG-" “The gold that was level with earth Already finished, the gold is 100 meters under earth and are the corporations remove that them to follow with the economy in this region”.

we claim that venezuela needs transnationals to dig gold at these levels because they need the "technology"..... but thats not what they need imo (venz know gold)...they need money and big equipment and they dont have it because the government has ransacked the entire country.

so now, after brutalizing the transnationals for years they are finding themselves (or at least seeing the future) in a position of having to kiss industrial ass to create work.....well, pucker up buttercup!

i just hope we financially survive to see this!!!!!!
