yourkid&quer - totally ignorant! WHY? Brent Johnson and MSX have been successful in removing a great portion of the "ranting" by many parties, including Jorge. WHY? quer is very upset that many people are now believing in Brent Johnson after they attended the February 1, 2013 AGM and witnessed how Brent Johnson protected the "little stockholder", like quer! Also, Raul, Jorge's father, is now convinced that MSX is the right vehicle to do business with in Chile. Dr. Davis conversed with those miners who knew Jorge's Family and the El Indio gold mine....hand-selected ore and transported it by mules in the 1960s-70s
Jorge left Chile back in 1980 seeking a "different life" when he married a Canadian citizen and began raising his family in Vancouver, living a very normal life. He was happy because he was no longer involved with Chilean business (as usual). Just before Jorge left Chile in 1979 St. Joe Gold, Tucson, AZ had just opened up the El Indio Gold Mine and this very successful gold mine operated until it closed down in 2003.
When ABX acquired LAC in 1994, the El Indio Gold Mine had poured thousands of ounces of gold and silver for fifteen years.........There's no question that St. Joe Gold did a SECRET DEAL IN GETTING OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROPERTY. It is a historical FACT.
The El Indio gold-silver-copper mine is located 4,000 m above sea level high in the Chilean Andes some 480 km north of Santiago and 177 km inland from the coastal city of La Serena. As recently as the 1960s and 1970s, El Indio was being mined by local independent miners who hand-selected ore and transported it by mules. The El Indio deposit itself was discovered in 1975 by geologists working for the St. Joe Minerals Corp. During the early exploration phase on the property, one of the company's geologists was told that many of the samples he had sent for analysis contained "anomalously high values in gold". His answer was that, given the material he was looking at, it was the low values which were anomalous.
Compania Minera El Indio first came to prominence when it was put into full production by St. Joe (owning 82.95%, in partnership with local Chilean interests) in 1981.........

The following research will assist quer and others to know about successful mining operations which went down to Chile in the 1970s based on the connections they had with Dr. H. Clyde Davis PhD (I was in many of the meetings in the 1960s-70s):
Who was St. Joe Minerals Corp? .....It was the United States largest producer of lead and zinc at the time of its merger with Fluor Corporation in 1981
