RE:Los Azules 1) The answer to the first question is a JV (50/50, 40/60 or 30/70). Then McEwen should raise some money and take some debt. Something similar to what Josemaria resources and Filo Mining are doing. If they take a lower interest, then McEwen Mining will get more money and will need to add less money to the project. This can also be done with a spin-off of Los Azules.
2) The answer to the second question is the Pebble Project. There could be problems anywhere, either in Argentina or in US. So there is an inherent risk in mining, but it is something general, and not specific to Argentina.
