RE:RE:RE:StabilityWell expressed Phil- and such a same statement and state of affairs might be made regarding so many other apects of this world's econoimies. The Precious Metals segment of mining has been with us - if not for for millenniums- then at least for centuries.
Whether it was the Yukon Gold Rush, the California Gold Rush- or many other STRIKES around the earth- the plight of the ARTISANAL MINER has always been borderline in nature. BIG MONEY will always trump the little guy- despite the very best of intentions.
Free Enterprise and Capitalism are the underpinnings of Global Progess and Economic Advancement- whether these process are marginally unfair or perhaps not.
I would say that in the case of African Gold Group, I candidly feel that the awareness surrounding what you have expressed is well understood and being taken into considewration. Every effort will be made to address the local socal and economic issues related to local employment and labour considerations. CEO Mr Callow is quite sensitive to these kinds of issues and realizes full-well, that unless the whole picture is reviewed and included , the full success of Kobada and its tributaries- will not be reached.
The world and LIFE have never been entirely fair and equitable places to do business. However, in this case of AGG- I truly believe that these local Artisanal Miners will be given some fair crack at earning some piece of the proverbial pie.
