RE: MansfieldThanks amarksp for the confirmation/ fleshing out of what has already been discussed on this board. I guess still lots of risk until the MP is finalized but sounding more than positive. All I would say is imagine the economic effect if a MP was not issued on Lindero for projects like Taca Taca or Rio Grande or Diablillos (SSO) or many others.
Think of the job losses or the potential tax/royalty losses to the Salta government and the ripple economic effect of all those job losses if for some crazy reason Lindero didn't get permitted. If Lindero failed to get permitted so many projects would get halted immediately and mining/exploration, one of the few bright growth spots in the Salta economy, would come to a standstill causing severe damage to an already tough job situation.
Frankly, I see very, very little chance of a mp denial happening. MDR is the poster child of good mining. Everyone wins here, and for that reason a positive outcome should be close at hand. The bankable feasibility will be an added bonus. A series of positive Arizaro drill results will add the blue sky and $1800 gold assures everyone comes out ahead.
Just time brothers and sisters. Just time.
Keep the faith.
