COMMUNITIES?ACTIVISTS? ISSUES EVIDENT? AVOID/SELL The problems with Communities/ACTIVISTS and etc. in Central and South America, is an old issue and one that continues with all mining companies and its one that is WELL KNOWN and MGMT either knew r were just Stupid, not seeing it,
I know MGMT of many of the key Majors in South America and one that has expereinced it and he spent time with me and explained it and how they handle it and live with it. Sometimes the oppostion is rented/paid to block your property by others who have their interest not to see anything to produce and they can strangle you. You adopt a plan to deal with it now and future if you don't you will fail.
It appears, THO, who had to know, based on past expereince in these area, they had major issues, this is not a surprise. THO MGMT has not properly handled this situation and future situations that will rise with the communities and other special interests. they keep claiming the same old stand by excuses how it will hurt the locals and the economy but the opposition does not care they ahve their objectives and THO MGMT has FAILED and FAILED MISERABLY -
TIME TO CHANGE THE MGMT who lost their way and they have swelled heads.
All the above based on news, financial mkts, expereince with key playes in Latin America and etc.
SELL/AVOID - All the above in my humble opinion.
PS Kevin I give you a grade of F minus.
