Thanks pal
Have to go to a work meeting at 9:30. Does anyone know if the SOLG meeting is being recorded?
The only possible successful candidates from this election are Arauz or Lasso. Whilst Aruaz identifies with the left, the mini g industry should not be quacking in their boots. He is already on record stating that Correa will be a very close advisor to his government.
Also worth noting that the tire of Arauz is the IMF/World Bank, not private industry. If anything he will embrace the mining industry (with correct environmental safeguards) as a means to gain independence from the aforementioned global powers.
Lasso would be the best outcome for SOLG, but Arauz would not be a disaster.
Relax
As we're all having fun with the one-upmanship, I just wanted to let you all know that I have a huge schlong.

Haven't check in on this BB this week and I have no desire to go back thru all the posts. So....
Have I missed anything?
Quady, I have a PhD in Social Policy and I really haven't the discipline to overlook your last post.
The 'horseshoe theory/effect' is far from being the universally accepted premise that you suggest. I possibly works when one considers the most extreme possible points in the political spectrum (e.g. Nazi Germany and the Stalinist Soviet Union). By historical standards the left/right dichotomy in American politics is certainly not as extreme as those seen in the mid 20th century. Furthermore, I do not believe for one second that the Democratic Party can be usurped by the far-left. In reality the Democrats are merely social democrats broadly aligned to some elements of the Scandinavian model. They are pragmatics who deeply believe in the rule of law and the advantages associated with capitalism.
Yes, there are certainly 'far left' activists on the very fringes of the Democratic Party (I emphasise the word 'fringes'). For as long as there is a two-party system in the USA we will continue to see the rule of law and capitalism as the core to American values. I do not see this changing at any point in the near future.
The issue we have in the coming days is the potential for clashes between small groups at the very periphery of the political system.
My message to all those involved:
CGP: Give it up lads, game over.
SOLG: Here's CGP over a barrel, no need for lube.
Cheers!
Hey,
Completely slipped my mind...
What is the exact date when BHP can launch a takeover bid? Thanks in advance.

BULLISH!
Until now I have been convinced that the best option for SOLG was to be sold. I'm starting to be swayed towards developing these projects.
Very interesting that they are already talking about working towards a PFS at Porvenir. Impressive.
Shall we get the t-shirt printing press fired up for those £1.50 shirts.

Conspiracy?
I wouldn't be in a rush to disagree with you as the timing is curious. In normal times I would have expected NM to wait for the full assay results. We'll have to wait and see! Not long now...
It has been a busy morning and I only just caught up with the news. As I stated above... wowzers!
I haven't got too much to add to the existing debate, simply that SOLG has been significantly derisked. Over the last 9 years of accumulating SOLG shares I have often questioned my logic, but todays news essentially validates my confidence. I don't want to come across smug... but this is a wonderful day for me and many others.
I'm sure you have viewed the PDF, if not: https://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/7732A_1-2020-10-1.pdf
I would draw your attention to fig. 3. The next set of assays could be remarkable.
GLA and well done to those who persevered.
Cheers,

Redknight, I am in total agreement
Chile and Ecuador actually signed a trade agreement yesterday. I don't think that anything specific was agreed upon, but it could set a trajectory towards greater co-operation.
Worth keeping an eye on.
Zoros, Ecuador is nothing like Venezuela or Brazil. Furthermore, Venezuela is nothing like Brazil.
There will be political issues along the way but they will be overcome.
So essentially the argument is that 'mining concessions get developed in Africa, so they will in Ecuador' and 'politics don't matter in the long term'.
I'd broadly agree, but I wouldn't be so quick to negate the difficulties caused by factors that are out of our control.
Yes, we will get there, but it will certainly not be plain sailing. For many years I have been very confident on the management and geology of SOLG projects but I have always been very cautious of the political risk factors. For me, the election and subsequent manoeuvring is the single issue.
For the record, I am not wanting to 'sow some doubt', I'm merely injecting a bit of realism on what is to come in the future months. Personally I am looking at the very real possibility of being unemployed in the coming weeks but I am steadfast in holding these shares for as long as possible because I see the long term rewards on offer.
If I am wrong and we receive takeover bids in October then I will be absolutely delighted to be wrong and I would be the first to hold my hands up and say that I am wrong. Trust me, nothing would make me happier than being completely and utterly wrong!!!
GLA - I plan to f--k off the rest of the day and sit in the sun.
