"Regarding your question who said mining in Chubut would be developed on a case by case basis. Public statements from the Argentinean minister in charge of mining on a promotional tour to Canada speaking to businessmen approximately one year ago." Pharump! What politicians say for the benefit of business relations and what the law says can be two different things. Besides, can it be so hard to believe that some politicians will say whatever they think their audience of the moment wants to hear? Such almost carried John Kerry to the White House. Now it's being used to keep the mining industry from abandoning Patagonia, and the rest of Argentina. Michael, you have repeated often how IMA stock constitutes the larger portion of your total assets. As such, this becomes no more than a dangerous speculation for you, based entirely on what another member of your tribe says, "Bet the geology and everything else will take care of itself." Tell that to Manhattan Minerals.

Well they can say what they want about you mikie, at least you "got it" and are not trying to use the barb as a lever to stir up some kind of scandal of imagined injury. And it was directed at you to boot! I had to endure about two years of sententious outrage at comments on Winspear a while back. People were all purple with offense at my so called slight of their noblest of papers. They all wanted me to reiterate my "position" as a line of blood in the noonday sand, and "reveal" my inside track on the mysterious diamonds in the salt bin. As if. Never mind telling them that the bulk samples were improperly combined, that the lab was not beyond arm's length to the directors, that some directors had been on the board of companies involved with questionable results prior -- that I had predicted the grade and character of the dykes west of the lake a year before they drilled them.. ... they just wouldn't take the hint. You can never tell. You will convince me that you are starting to reach stature when you tell me that you have diversified your portfolio. EC<:-}
