Interesting! This excerpt below may suggest that Peru is looking for more Chinese participation in their mining sector. One may also be able to assume by this that Peru is not considering any nationalization of its resources? We saw last night that Dynacor said there is already a considerable Chinese presence there. If Peru opens these doors wider for China, you may see some aquisition activity heat up in Peru. Just the Chinese presence alone, may make existing majors to think twice about making an offer on any projects they may have their eye on. For ex; we see it public knowledge that Beunaventura wants all info coming off our Cueva Blanca property. This public step of letting this out in the open could be looked at as a "keep your hands off, we are interested in this property" approach to any newcomers? Peru has the gold, the Chinese want gold and Peru wants them to have some of it as well. A nice equation.

Castilla is currently touring Asia to promote investments in Peru's mining and infrastructure sectors by China and sovereign investors such as Singapore's Temasek Holdings and sovereign wealth fund GIC.
