Re Something's Up
SOC is pursuing a lost cause in this and would be better off taking its limited financial resources in another direction - such as drilling on a property it actually owns - their shareholders would appreciate this course of action as well. The Commissioner made it clear that it wanted a large scale mining operation developed (ie: read taxes, royalties, jobs for locals) for the benefit of Tanzania - SOCs underhanded effort resulting in a dispute for a few hectares that would pretty much limit them to panning for gold did not quite fit that bill. CAN has unlimited financial resources, the support of the Tanzanian government and about 15 km of territory yet to be assayed - all of which the Tanzanian government knows will generate big time revenue for its country once a mine is established. They will do everything they can to expedite this process as they have already evidenced and undoubtedly will support CAN through any legal process.
