Good piece eh, i've seen it before but not for a while ... they should have another out before long, it'll be interesting to see what changes the year has brought us

My contest pick has hopes for operating in Venezuela, lol ... and ya never know, ya just never know

In the hobby on which we are here engaged, we are the exploiters, and might as well get used to it ... intelligent exploitation in this day and age means making sure that the locals are considerably better off for our presence in their lands - this means in assessing competence of management, we need to ensure that they see this clearly, negotiate reasonable terms, we can't have them giving away the farm but we can't have them pissing off the natives either, there's a balance in it ... Greenstone screwed up bigtime years ago, where was that, Honduras maybe, asshole mine foreman got on a D8 and started bulldozing people and homes, poof no more mining there for them

And sometimes the natives are just not going to be reasonable for awhile, trick is to suss that out in advance, send your money elsewhere
