"1. the company is not handling it well,"</>

Attended a talk a few years ago about how some brilliant geologists from Meridian discovered a great deposit in Argentina which would have a significant influence on the profitability of the company. Unfortunately the brilliant geos were overly impressed with their own brilliance and treated the locals like dung. The locals re-acted and the State passed laws preventing the development of the mine. Tough lesson!

It appears the lesson has still not been learned. Speaking to a prospector yesterday who has a deposit on which he staked the federal mining rights. Meridian (now Yamana) owns the surface rights. Mining rights trump surface rights! However, Yamana attitude is "screw you" "if you don't like it sue us". Prospector said it would be easier to deal with the Sierra Club than deal with Yamana.
