If Keith Barron was really interested in the FDN project and all the "Blue Sky" property in Ecuador he would still be pounding the ground in Ecuador. Instead he is looking for Uranium in Guyana with U308 Corp!
He wants/needs money to further his plans and wants Aurelian to sell the FDN as soon as possible ( like a lot of us). As time goes on and ARU plays the "development game" a lot of people have/will tire with the stock and move on.
If the windfall tax goes through ARU might just have to develop the FDN project themselves as a lot of the majors will not want anything to do with a windfall tax wrapped around their neck . When you take the "Big Blue Sky" out of the equation with the WFT it has less appeal for the majors. If it does not chase them away it surely will drop the price of what they are willing to pay ARU for the FDN deposit.
Don't get me wrong...ARU and the FDN deposit are great assets but you can only cut a pie into so many pieces and with the government wanting to take the biggest piece off the top it leaves little for the developer and less yet for the discoverer!!
What I once considered a buy and hold investment ( ARU) has now become more of a trading vehicle for me......as I look around the whole world I have less and less faith in government and what they say they will do.....I need to protect my investments.
just my opinion
