NM said that sovereign risk is the only risk remaining. I believe that this is what is holding back all parties. From Institutional investors to the big miners. There is no other answer. We have an incredible asset and both BHP and Newcrest have pretty much bought an option on the property. Maybe Enami becomes a partner in the end. There are negotiations going on behind the scenes here that institutions are all privy to. When they get resolved we will go northerly IMO.
"Ecuador has been working to make itself more attractive to miners, having abolished a windfall tax in August, and is refining its legal framework around mining investment as it seeks partners for joint venture projects with state miner Enami, he told Reuters later."
"What we are looking at is opening joint venture opportunities for any large, well structured companies," he said, warning that miners must meet strict environmental criteria."
