RE: 43-101Nijinski - nice summation, thank you. Makes sense that the political situation is a major contributor to the success of both the share price and the Company's (or an acquiring company's) ability to extract and sell the gold while taking profits. However, given the magnitude of this discovery, which will hopefully be solidified with the 43-101 news in the next little while, why wouldn't the Ecuadorian government be cooperative and help facilitate access to its resources? There must be more gold in them thar hills, I would think that allowing major investments to occur in the country would be beneficial, and there's room for a royalty to the state as well..
