makin, was'nt "no mining in the imataca" negated by minamb awhile ago? i thought they said "the areas between conaima/coroni/bologna rivers are open to mining" and LC/LB fell within those boundaries?

also, they have awarded a couple small mining "concessions" in the area since.

i could be wrong (the BS has gotten well over my head).

to be honest, i was'nt aware china clay was such a big deal? i thought they were making toilet paper holders out of composites now....you might have a point with those sneaky russians, they probably want to ship cocaine to europe in koalinite bags while they drill on LB...
