Beyondhelp is right - AGAIN!When SLI halted small scale mining operations they did so because the Peruvian government changed their laws to crack down on illegal and unreported mining. One of the things that fell under scrutiny was mining with an exploration permit. Peru made a bunch of changed and actually modeled much of their system after the Canadian system. This was all main stream news and Primed24 even posted it several times. You all missed it because you were too busy reading conspiracy news sites to actually read the real news. The fact that you are too lazy to Google this information on your own just demonstrate that the truth is not what you want, you just want to blame others for your stupidity. By the way, you can thank Lori for halting mining operations so that the company did not get into trouble with Peruvian authorities. Had the property been sufficient to move forward on mining she would have had to access the proper permits.
