Yes Primed, we have excellent ties with the Peruvian locals. 99% of our work force on the Tesoro property is local Peruvian people. Locals were also consulted during our EIS process and if there was any problem we wouldn,t have got approved.

SLI has built one new house for a local and put money into the community after an earthquake a few years back. Brophy is married to a Peruvian lady and their family resides in Peru. Just trying to show our strong ties with the local people and how/why we are welcomed there.

The permitting process for our Vilcoro involved getting consent from local farmers, we got the permit. Need I say more.
