I asked nm about the pdac presentation and the major emphasis on local involvement and sustainability and this is his reply.
The point is that it is even more important than good drill results. People seem to miss that. Without endorsement by government and people we have no tenure or access. Its not just a glib statement. It costs real money. No apologies.
A bit of advice that you can take or not. As there is no vaccine it might be a good idea to take an echinacea suppliment. It is believed to strengthen the immune system.
So where has he gone? I posted about sustainable mining and he managed to twist that within a few posts to immigrants and why socialists can't invest in the stock market. Solg is trying to develop a sustainable footprint in Ecuador and they are open about it. If he's your mate you are very welcome to him. I am honest enough to say I reported my concerns that he was a previous poster who had been removed. If I was wrong, admin would not have removed him.
Tell me how you know a/it's a him and b/they weren't Satan. I don't even know they are banned. People appear and disappear. The utter contempt they held for the locals deserved a ban even if it was Malala in disguise.
I have never said I wasn't in it for a profit. I said that Ecuador is our host country and their concerns should be considered and listened to before profit as should the environmental impact.
