I believe the true value of LC for Chavez is political and not financial. He's been able to sell LC over and over again without ever having to give anything real away and, in the process, he has had a political football to play with and he's had someone else pay for the infrastructure he promised to the poor in Bolivar.

Clearly LC is more valuable to Chavez, not mined, than mined, or he would have granted the permit years ago.

Given that reality what is the value of our MOC?
