From what I understand, Minefinders has pretty good relations with the locals. Protesters are probably not going to be a big deal if #1 They don't have guns #2 The government is not sympathetic to their wishes. Both of these conditions seem to be the case. If you were to show images of a large KKK rally from the U.S. one might be led to believe that it was a powerful and influential body, when in reality it is, as of today, basically a non-entity in matters involving everyday American life. I am encouraged by the fact that the two articles I reviewed involving the situation left the protesters essentially nameless, i.e. not affiliated with a larger organization. Heck, some environmental group might have bought them a few cases of beer to go stand out there. Who knows? Few people are really passionate about things in life and fewer still if bullets start flying. The local government is not going to let its profits suffer because of a nameless band of rabble-rousers. Just my view. Bull
