RE: Questions about political risk in EcuadorBravekind. If anyone on this board "mauls" you because of this post it is they who have the problem. You are totally right. It is all about "risk reward". Exactly the reason I am here. I honestly don't believe that the political risk is high. My reasoning for this is that the deposit it self is just to incredible to pass up. In other words no major gold producer will just let this go. Political risk or not, one of these deep pocketed companies will make a deal with the Equadorian gov't thats profitable to all.
