The biggest problem I have with whole concept of taking credit for our social programs is everyone is reacting to stories in the VZ newspapers and self seving politicans. Kry has taken credit for their social programs and no matter what Chancellor or his followers say doesn't change that.
Our share price has nothing to do with Chancellors acusations in the press. He has been saying the same crap since he got arrested and even before. Chancellor doesn't want to tell the truth even if we get in to a PR fight with him by publically tooting our own horn. All that comes from these type of fight is to lend credance to his acusations.
Who are we trying to influence with a pr campain? Are we expecting Chancellor to come out and say he was wrong. Kry has lived up to their obligations and I guess I shouldn't have lead a protest to block the road and incite the crowd. If you think that will ever happen you are simply wrong. What you will get id Chancellor saying that Kry has laid the blame on Hugo and the VZ government. How can that help?
If we are trying to convince those people not protesting we don't have to because they don't care who did what they just want money and jobs. They could care less if LC is run by Kry, Russians or Bugs Bunny as long as they have jobs and money.
We certainly don't have to convince Mibam or Mimbam since we know already from the presentation before the NA that Mibam believes we have done everything required of us.
It can't be Ortega or Merly since they have held their inspection and agreed we have fulfilled all our obligations to date.
The whole idea of what can it hurt to promote Kry to the people is flawed. The people don't have any say in what is going to happen. Are we supposed to start a big campain to tell the unemployed that we want to start the mine by your government is the one not cooperating. Compalin to the VZ government that you have no work and useless checks and ask them to give the permit so Kry can start the mine. I'm sure don't think this is the best way to get the permit from the VZ government.
I hate the idea of all the negative press we get in VZ but it has nothing to do with us not recieving the permit because the people responsable for issuing the permit are the same ones that know the truth.
If Kry had to PR everytime someone had a negative or out right lie about us we would be out of cash right now.
I believe Cottin is doing everything he can down in VZ to make sure the right people know the truth. As far as our share price and keeping investors informed with correct information Kry keeps saying nothing has changed. Everytime RM gets an email about Chancellor what can he say other than the charges were investigated and kry was found to have done nothing wrong. Don't think for a minute that our institutional investors are reading this crap and bailing because of it. Even us small guys know the truth so again who are we trying to set the record right for?
I agree. I fail to understand how taking credit for the social contributions by KRY would injure it. Even the issue of the permit might be promoted in a careful way, some statement regarding projected jobs upon receipt of the permit. But at the least, what is wrong with taking credit what KRY has contributed? Truth is truth.
