Frankly I stop caring about Ecuadorian politics and the antics of that government for sometime. So they dust off the WFT again (thought to be dead) and still have not lifted the mining ban (the six-month deadline is fast approaching). None of these makes any logical sense to someone like me who deals in logical terms.

All I know is Kinross stole ARU and for what it's worth, I just hope they know what they get themselves into. My guess is they do, since the devious operators are always one step ahead of the rest. Could these theives be burnt this time? Only time will tell and it will all happen in less than two months.

For what is worth I am still an ARU shareholder. I feel better now that's off my chest.
