RE:About Ecuador..I must have missed some previous thread here about KL and mining in Equador? IMO high risk in some of these far flung jurisdictions. Maybe I'm jaded over a few past losses (thefts) and biggest for me was Bolivia expropriating main mine at South American Silver several years ago. They had huge amounts of silver and rare earch indium. The eventual international award for this theft was a paltry sum compared to even what was invested in the mine. The company had built schools and all kinds of local improvements. I was fortunate to escape before complete sp collapse but sure was a lesson: don't invest in countries where far left governments or dictators are in power.
