yeah, thats what i find interesting about it.....i get the feeling, not only is it "accepted" it's "promoted.....i'd like to know what mill they're taking 10kilos of gold to? i bet i can guess.....and i bet it's gonna show up in someones 10Q...did you see the price these miners get? it was in the first post about this...i'll try to find it......something like 100bolivars gram? it seems the illegals are being given land to mine and i think it might be for the milling factor......

easy for a co. to claim "low cash costs & production" if they are buying gold from illegals at pennies, then possibly claiming production at a mine that has no production.....

the international community tends to frown on this type of activity....
