Gold at 1261 suggests global politics is relavent and if you think government policy isn't relavent, perhaps you should ask the Australian's about their mining tax and the affect it has had on those particular capitalists.

Also, as a Canadian capitalist then, I'm sure you know about Bill C-300 that the Liberals are attempting to push through parliament as a private member's bill which would have a staggering impact on mining in this country and every listed company's bottom line including San Gold.

Another Government solution looking for a problem.
