We might have the richest resource, the best AISC, state of the art technology in stacking and returning land and water to their original state, ESG etc etc etc but if you can't persuade those local "very stupid people" whose lands and rivers you want to exploit, then it all amounts to hill of beans.
And not very productive to hide behind the fig leaf of nefarious foreign NGOs.
Canadian mining, let's face it, has a lousy reputation in Latin America. And we wonder why.
