My CONGRATS of 40% owner Randgold STANDS..

Mali gov't gets an automatic 10% by concession laws, and only buys the second 10% if something proves up.

So what if Anglo is the operator? I wasn't commenting upon the Anglo angle.

Someone has to put up the money, and someone has to do the operating of the mine.

I chose to applaud the FUNDER, not the operator. Why the "big deal," Mr. Picky. You bored or something?
