I have to go with EZ on this issue. The largest payoff for KRY has ALWAYS been the prospect of mining Las Cristinas--not an arbitration settlement--and Mr. Fung kept his eye on that ball by enlisting the Chinese in the effort. I'll call that a brilliant move. He tried every realistic option to proceed with mining, and faulting him now is, I believe, a cheap shot.

Yes, filing for arbitration years ago is appealing, but that's 20/20 hindsight, isn't it?

IMHO, of course. No offense meant.
