Funny you should say dv is not responding because he's busy.

Because a week or two after taking over solg, one would assume a very,very busy time for him.

He found time to have a lengthy telephone chat with you.

Remember the chat adik.

The one where every topic he covered, supported your views.

Solg board Unbloody believable

Oh dear twitcher.

Sounds like your school boy humour is not appreciated.

Or come to that your absurd drinking with mather claims.

Not sure who dusty is, but he's certainly marked your card

Sm. Be sure to visit the seven wells water fall.

Bit of a steep trek at the end but we'll worth it.

Do the mangrove tour with seafood lunch.

Have fun

Adik.

Ref your post, can you tell us who told you the following sentence from your post.

"I was told Newmont weren't interested in Cascabel, but liked the idea of ExCo, "

Only with your record, I think we need a 2 stage verification process for anything you tell us.

Sm.

I am so sick of your constant daily ramblings of sweetness and light.

I feel I need to give you a reality check.

Yes we are going well at the moment. But far from cut and dry.

Here are some of the key pitfalls and risks facing SolGold and similar mining players in Ecuador right now.

---

⚠️ Main Pitfalls Facing SolGold in Ecuador

• Regulatory and Permitting Uncertainty

Ecuador’s regulatory environment remains unstable and unpredictable, with frequent changes in rules and overlapping/conflicting regulations at national and municipal levels.

Environmental and social-permitting processes (including consultations with local/indigenous communities) are often cumbersome, unclear, and subject to delays.

Even though SolGold recently was granted an environmental licence for its Porvenir Project (in southern Ecuador) this only allows an “advanced exploration phase” so far — it does not guarantee smooth transition to full-scale mining.

• Social / Community / Environmental & ESG Risks

Ecuador often requires prior community (especially Indigenous) consultation before major projects — something that remains legally under-defined and politically sensitive.

Legal precedent in Ecuador has shown that courts may revoke or block mining/environmental permits based on environmental or community objections — increasing the risk of stranded assets or project suspension.

Wider public and environmental scrutiny — given Ecuador’s rich biodiversity and water-sensitive ecosystems — means mining companies face high reputational risks (and real risks of protests, litigation, or forced modifications/halts).

• Political & Macroeconomic Instability

The broader political and governance environment is fragile: frequent policy shifts, regulatory instability, and a relatively high corruption perception — making long-term project planning risky.

Macro-economic risks (exchange rate volatility, fiscal instability) combined with global commodity price swings can render projects economically marginal if costs/risk premiums rise.

• Security, Climate & Natural-Risk Exposure

Ecuador is vulnerable to climate risks and natural hazards (like landslides, earthquakes, extreme weather) which can threaten mining infrastructure, access roads, and operational continuity.

Such environmental risks — especially in remote or mountainous mining provinces — can materially affect project cost, insurance, and long-term viability.

• Financing & Investment Risk

Given the combination of political, regulatory, social, environmental and natural-hazard risks, investors may demand higher returns or may be reluctant to commit — raising cost of capital or reducing appetite.

For smaller or junior ventures, regulatory or social delays may make projects financially unviable.

Sniffer, I've not got enough years left to think about what you've said.

And why would I.

It's predominately shi$e, and the rest cut and pasted from google

Monte, I posted on here months ago, a full list of all of the exploration companies bhp were invested in.

It fell on deaf ears, because the one share holding morons on here, believe solg to be the center of the universe.

They would need a hundred directors if they were to take up their seats on the relevant boards.

Mf.

You can see no clouds.

There's a surprise,

Where do you buy those glasses. Because they are certainly working for you.

Thanks partytime,

Party time. Can you post the link showing this

Adikt. We will see.

I say if it moves the sp up, it will be a very small rise, as it's probably factored in now.

Have you not got a friend you can phone, or a mate who can pop up to reinforce your view.

It is relevant, off course, but not a game changer for the sp.

Despite the daily posted on here.

But that aside were doing very well at the moment

I might add. I'm old enough to remember Egypt taking the Suez canal from the pots.

As I recall it was Anthony Eden who sent in a task force to retake it.

It was the beginning of the end for your little island.

I think they pulled out after 20 minutes, totally humiliated.

They clearly never had Rodney to advise them

Solg board = naivety

Rodney pbow. Just a few cases where IPA agreements meant F A. The naivety on here is staggering

Here’s a list of some of the most notable cases where countries breached or challenged investment agreements, leading to disputes or arbitration:

---

1. Venezuela – Oil & Gas Nationalization

Year: 2007–2010

What happened: Venezuela under Hugo Chávez nationalized oil and gas projects, taking over assets of companies like ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, and Chevron.

Outcome: Many companies pursued ICSID arbitration and received compensation, though sometimes after long legal battles.

---

2. Bolivia – Natural Gas & Utilities

Year: 2006 onwards

What happened: Government nationalized gas fields and utilities previously owned by foreign companies.

Outcome: Companies like Spain’s Red Eléctrica negotiated settlements, while others went to international arbitration for compensation.

---

3. Argentina – Utilities & Energy Crisis

Year: 2001–2005

What happened: Argentina froze tariffs and altered contracts for electricity and water companies after its economic crisis.

Outcome: Dozens of foreign investors filed claims under BITs, resulting in multi-billion-dollar arbitration cases.

---

4. Zimbabwe – Land Expropriation

Year: 2000s

What happened: The government seized white-owned commercial farms without compensation.

Outcome: Many investors went to international courts; some settlements were reached, but political risk remained high.

---

5. Russia – Yukos Case

Year: 2003–2014

What happened: Russia dismantled Yukos Oil and jailed its CEO. Shareholders claimed expropriation of their assets.

Outcome: Arbitration awarded shareholders $50+ billion, though enforcing it against Russia was difficult.

---

6. Egypt – Utilities & Telecom

Year: Various in 2000s

What happened: Sudden changes in regulations and tariffs affected foreign investors in water, telecom, and electricity.

Outcome: Multiple arbitration cases under BITs; some resulted in settlements.

---

Key Takeaways:

Most countries try to avoid breaking agreements because arbitration can be extremely costly.

Breaches are often linked to political change, nationalization, or economic crises.

Arbitration or settlements can take years and sometimes require enormous compensation.

Pbow.

For gods sake.

Don't be that person.

Unfiltered me. Then refiltered me. Tut tut tut.

It reminds me of adiks selective filter.

Once he read my post because he picked his wifes phone up by mistake, and funny thing is, she's on lse aswell.

The next time he turned his phone of by mistake, and when he turned it on again I was not only unfiltered but he opened it on my post.

Rodney.

Hahahahaha

Gilo.

No, it wouldn't make any difference.

Because ecuadore have demonstrated their disregard for international law.

And nomatter how many on here bury their heads in the sand.

Not one will be able to say with certainty, they won't break it again, if the politics change

Rbm invest, have miraculously turned up to support adik.

We can add him to.

The nuclear physicist

The 2 senior uk company directors

His mate who lives in ecuador

His mysterious mate who's someone important in the Philippines

His university room mate

His cosy phone chat to the solg chairman

His 200 million company buy out.

And today, hilariously miss golightly, has turned up to tell us what a great guy he is.

Solg board,,,,,,,,, words fail me

Smicster, so sorry, not spinster, typo

Spinster. That's what else I've been saying for years.

Adik has two defences when in strife.

1, he deflects, deflects to the point of absurdity

2, whe that doesnt work, he makes up an imaginary friend, who miraculously backs up his views.

Adikt my old mate.

Your earlier post.

" I'm not negative about this stock and never have been, but some of the stuff about current valuation being tossed around on here is, in my opinion, for the fairies.

How many years have I been saying this.?

I knew you would come round to my way of thinking
