thanks, i've been out of the loop for a few days and did'nt know if this was a repost or not...trying to find mention of this article in el national but no luck so far....time to break out the maps again but it sounds good so far....we've gone from the minister of the envoronment stating "no mining in the imataca" to the vice minister saying "you can only mine so many million hectares"....things are starting to move.......finally.
