The thing in Oaxaca you mean? ... that's local, between the teachers et al who are imho unreasonably stupidly socialist and the governor et al who are imho unreasonably stupidly corrupt ... both sides far too incompetent to realise whatever demented goals they presumably hold dear, and pissing off the folks around them - tourism is a mainstay of the city's economy, and important to the region, and these idiots have pretty near shut it down
Definitely not a nacional issue, though i see federales broke it up yesterday, the majority will approve of that imho provided it is done with no more than reasonable force ... nothing to do with mining or canadians or anything, no problema imho
Look to the quality of your management to see how they'll fare among the mexicanos, would be my suggestion .... are they arrogant with you, do they gloss over or even hide important little details, are they furthering their own interests at your expense as a shareholder, do you ever get the feeling they're bullshitting you? - if so, look around for another outfit with a better class of folks running it, people who realise that to succeed at mining there, they must insure that the locals are noticeably better off with the mine operating than they were without it .... and noticeably better by the standards of the locals themselves - discovering these will involve lots and lots of talking to many people, and i guarantee you they will to a man have a zero tolerance for arrogance ... or for suckholing either, makes you look false, got to look a man straight level in the eyes, be he campesino or presidente
LC, don't 'defer to' me, geez i'm a british columbian, lol ... can't think of anybody from that area that i know anymore, even ... above is just a personal take from bbc.co.uk headlines mostly ... but i've seen things like this before, it's a big deal if you're involved or caught in the middle between factions like this [i've got a story about a baseball game in Chiapas one time, typed some of it into the wsp.v thread years ago, if memory serves], but imho this one, like most internal disputes, has nothing to do with mining, no effect on our juniors
Six oh four gold, twelve twelve silver, hmmmm, damn i wish i could get more net time today ... base metals off, except, ahem, zinc |
