This should make 2 of our Peruvian properties just that much more desireable by Majors. If Barricks Pascau Lama project as well does not go through, these guys are gonna need to replenish the reserves that will be lost. This makes all the better for us in finding a buyer early. The Tesoro is on a plateau with no lakes in sight and it is not around a glacier, two important drinking water sources. This may as well put the covetness of Vilcoro, up the scale.

Also, Humala cannot deny his people the benefits of the revenue these giant miners bring to the country, they are poor enough now, without the investment community, Peru would fall back into severe poverty.

IMO
