My post stated that I felt confident that Mexico was a good place for a mining culture. I DID NOT state that I was discounting a possible political frenzy that would result in a potential heavy royalty or nationalization policy. There is a difference between culture and the potential rantings and effects of a socialist popularist.
S#$t can happen anywhere, and happen totally out of the blue.
As for Ecuador, I decided not to invest in Aurelian precisely because of the political situation.
