RE:RE:RE:"South Africa May Soon Take Land Without Compensation" Don't forget that the govt's and community already get a free ride on some profits while using Ivanhoe expertise and labor.
which is something I'm proud of as a shareholder.
For the most part they don't have the expertise to take over our operations, not to mention that the additional workers with the needed skills are just not available. That's one of the things holding us back from a faster expansion.
Besides we don't own the land. It's only a mining license and is most likely why we haven't drilled the whole thing in Platreef or even disclosed what has been found up to now in the Western Forelands. Keep in mind that once disclosed there is a limited time for the next steps. In the meantime we have an exploration license with plenty of time on it.
Ivanhoe will most likely be around longer than many of us will.
