RE:Duterte sole authority The fact that the share price is where it is at, and all info on this board is known to a significant portion of the shareholders is the best indication that all may not be what it appears to be.
If it was then the share price would already reflect a significant portion of the FTAA approval.
It is interesting to compare Philippine deaths from Covid to two examples.
One the US which is condidered doing poorly 1,419 per million
One considered do be doing very well Norway 107 per million
Now the Philippines 101 per million
Add to that, Psych01 , you advise that "Didipio is in one of the least ravaged locations in the country"
Also I will provide a paragraph from B2 Golds llatest assessment of its full 2020 operations
in its Philippine mine ( produces more gold than a fully operational Diddipio)
The Masbate Mine in the Philippines achieved another strong year in 2020, producing 204,699 ounces of gold, at the midpoint of its guidance range (of between 200,000 - 210,000 ounces). Masbate's strong operational performance was achieved despite a five-day temporary suspension of mining activities in the first quarter of 2020 due to fuel shortages relating to COVID-19 restrictions, and a magnitude 6.6 earthquake approximately 90 kilometres from the mine site on August 18, 2020, suspending mining and processing operations for five and six days, respectively, as inspections were conducted to confirm there was no damage to the mine from the earthquake.
