Voodoo is ignorant, not the way around the issue of "rights"VooDoo is the ignorant as to "rights" to the 22,000 acres staked by Villar in 1996. ABX had just acquired LAC Minerals in the classic Canadian Supreme Court of Breach (Case ruled on August 11, 1989)

I was in Chile in April, 2004 checking out title based on the representation by Jorge in his contract agreement with me. No claim to the 22,000 acres by any member of the Cortes Family was found anywhere.
Former BYU President Jeffrey Holland has been in Chile between 2002-2005 secretly dealing with Cris Lopehandia and Phekps, connecting Jorge with criminal and side deals........
FACT: Villar sold the 22,000 acres to ABX in 1997 for $1 Million under the direcction of Salt Lake ABX Corporate attorney Patrick Garver. Jorge was no where!
FACT: Villar has just wanted his $1 Million. He cut a secret deal with Cris Lopehandia in Chile through the promise his brother, Jorge, would get him JUSTICE. The 2001 Injuction was filed, in the name of Villar because Jorge was his legal "front", promised a commission of $3 Million It hasn't happened. As MtStake has stated, ABX has staked hundreds of mining claims in Chile and Argentina, including the 1997 sale by Villar.
CONCLUSION: Many years will go by and Jorge' clear rights to the 22,000 acres will not happen. ABX has written off the Pascua Lama because Chile no longer wants the massive operation touched!
Jorge didn;t stop THE PROJECT. The people in the area did it. Jorge/MSX is not welcome, either
