ARU- one of the richest gold mines ordeposits in Ecuador,I sure someone in the government will take notice,if it were a marginal deposit ,mayby not such a problem,they will believe its there country ,their gold,the rich Gringos,they don,t need it,they will justify whatever they want to do. I am not saying it will or won,t happen,its a possibility. Back in 1980, I believe Peru (when silver hit 50.00 an ounce ) made it illegal to export silver from Peru. So the mining companies had to sell it locally,and they didn,t even get close to world prices.Mongolia had the 68% tax,look at companies like western prospector,down the toilet. There is some risk and if you want to invest ,you should be made aware of it. I am long ARU, and I know I won,t make any friends with this post. Some on this board have the attitude,don,t like the massage,kill the messenger.
