Not sure fort actually reads what he posts. I think it's the 'sling enough ...., something might stick approach'. Same as red.
Clearly he hasn't read the China FTA details that we have now. Ecuador is seeking to become a net exporter in several new areas, but at the moment it is not ranking ore/concentrates/refined as a top priority. Shocker, this might be because of its lack of operational mines! So solg, BHP, whomever can say what they like at echo-chamber conferences, it will be the people who decide by way of election. And polls suggest there isn't a huge appetite for mining currently, even if fort (a small time mining investor/gambler) thinks it is their best way forward! This will evolve over time, no doubt, but beware the ramper who draws a straight line between what they see as an opportunity and what will actually happen in the future. Politicians are slippery, and will kick the mining can down the road if opinion polls tell them to: make that the next guy/gall's hot potato to grasp.
