OK, Moot - you're on to something here - Standard Bank would have likely determined its assessment of political risk before spending time and energy on intensive due diligence. Good point.

But from the standpoint of the individual speculator, I still object to the adjective 'inane' being applied to observations of possible political risk, a pattern of outright banditry having been observed in the recent past.

As for other jurisdictions having greater risk - Agreed. There is no way I will consider an investment in British Columbia under the current regime, for instance. As a citizen and a resident the risks are all too clear to me. I far prefer other provinces, the NWT, M‚xico, Venezuela, Mongolia, and yes - Kazakhstan.

Hope we hear from John on your dilution point ....... cheers ...... marcos
