this is the first time hugo has promised they'd be paid...sanz did it before. seems like there is money in the mining sector all of a sudden and rangel was involved...i'm liking this news. it was an absolute necessity to pay the miners before any large "transnational" mining could take place, otherwise the artisinals would fight like mad...

sounds like the deal with the chinese might be struck. now let's hope kry gets some fair treatment.
