jb: I understand your concerns about Venezuela, but IMO there are far riskier places in the world -- especially given the nature of CSL's project. A major focus is to clean up the mercury pollution from decades of illegal mining and ensure a better water supply for the majority of people in the Lower Caroni area. The VZ government sees this as a "project of national importance". One of Cadre's directors, Marcello Viega, is a world-renowned expert on this problem and has his finger on the pulse of UN funding, etc. If this process is successful in VZ, it can be "exported" to other Amazon-basin countries such as Brazil with the same history of garimpeiro mining and mercury-pollution. Viega is Brazilian and this is his specialty. Other CSL principals have been working in VZ for decades on a wide range of projects. I think they're very used to dealing with the political process there -- as evidenced by survival over the last 10 years! I'm confident that the project will proceed. Regards, Howy
