My research point to this…. It already being mined, LC, I6, all these deposits in limbo are being mined by the "illegals", who rent equipment, buy gas, and protection from the mafia. & sell the mafia the gold, to smuggle out of the country.

Basically Hugo is not in control of this part of ven. -- Gold is to Ven. as cocaine was/is to columbia.

Not to say we or Ven. have no hope. But its a lot of money in play.
