Like Inco did at Voisey's Bay, Kinross could easily sit on this project for years, write it down, wait out different governments and still come out a winner by developing it ten years down the road when gold trades at US$2,000 per oz.

I'm sorry, but all I can do here is Laugh Out Loud. That's spelled LOL.

If anyone thinks for one minute they can sit on this project for ten days, let alone ten years, they clearly haven't been paying attention.

Do I really need to explain this? I guess so, because it seems more people are reading this board now, and some of them might not have noticed what we here have known all along:

Ecuador needs a mining industry, and Aurelian is the flagship property.

The minute the ink is dry on whatever deal gets done, this thing is back in operation. If you think Aurelian, or any other major project in Ecuador will remain closed with all their workers laid off right before the most important election in years, you are simply hallucinating and should probably lay off the magic mushrooms for a while.

This is the sort of shallow puff-piece I've come to expect from Northern Miner, which is why I cancelled my subscription many moons ago.

Note to John Cumming: Go read the mining draft then come back and tell us what happens to companies that sit on claims for ten years without developing them.

Unreal
