Of course "I'm in", have been for several years - and that's the problem, it's taking forever (latterly) to get the show on the damn road.
I'm sure SOLG are ticking all the boxes (permits/environmentalism/local employment/courting majors/attracting financial backing/recruiting the right team/making the right sounds at mining conferences) but the longer this drags on, the more chance there is of further problems - and a new president could be a major problem....IF....IF we don't have our ducks in a row by then.
Like 99% of LTH's in SOLG, this is a punt. No-one is doing a PhD in SOLG, nobody really cares about the long term effects the mines will have on the Ecuadorian topography or the indigenous peoples. They don't wake at night anxious about the effects on the water table or long term economic benefits of the nation as a whole, that's for sure. They simply want to make as much money out of this 'punt' as soon as possible.....and move on. It's ugly but it's true. The clock is ticking and our patience is wearing thin. FFS SOLG.....act, or at the very least.....throw us some crumbs!!!
It's like watching paint dry.........
