I don't think Jim Mellon was made Chairman to help raise capital/construct a mine with the Geo polical uncertainty during the 18 months of construction.
Jim's statement in the appointment RNS stated "I look forward to continuing to work with Mark Child, the CEO, to maximise the value for all shareholders of this construction ready gold mine and determine the path forward as the Project progresses to a construction phase"
The Chinese are currently buying South Amercan gold assets and perhaps Mark was being clever with release of the Ortega/Ministry of mines pictures, as the Chinese won't be worried about their track record only the access to them!
