John, the whole answer on the pdg/kry outcome is very confusing. why should it matter to ecm? afterall we "should " be minding our own business and proceed on course. something behind the scenes is amiss here and we don't know about it. for example, with all of the crooks in indonesia, fcx just keeps on ticking, regardless of what happens elsewhere. a more in depth answer is necessary, we have the property, our partners are supposedly reputable, the gold is there and it is not near kry and pdg properties. what is the problem? bgo is bullshitting us somewhere and somehow.

Yes, pdg is a major, but i *feel* one that isn't very respected. Even Bobby Bishop said pdg has a reputation for shooting themselves in their foot.

On the other hand, kry's mgt/board of directors:

CEO Marc Oppenheimer : once an executive at Citibanks (loan please)

Robert Fung - did the deal on Petro Canada when it went public -- supposedly one of the biggest ever, worked to with munk to build abx, and rumour is that he is leaving Gordon Capital -- ..will have to watch Barry Critchley column in the FinPost.

Former executive of the Venezualean Ministry of Energy and Mines who previously worked closely with pdg

Venezula's top ambassaodor -- formerly ambassador to Spain

So kry definitely has the ability i.e. deal making power and finances
...the only doubt is perhaps mining talent -- now any mining engineer will switch camps for a price

And besides kry is already producing, although with problems, and recently even expanded capacity. pdg: zilch.

It only makes sense to under estimate the small player, but the question is simply who has done their homework?
