~*~Mining and Metals Du Jour~*~

[nrcmedia]

Speaking of Argentina....any opinions on effect of a default on the foreign mining operations there? There are a few very interesting lithium mining operations in the Puna region that are run by foreign operators but are also partnered with the governments agency for mining. Argentina to be reduced to using natural resources as it's collateral in the international banking community if it continues to be pressed by the IMF and the US judicial system. The idea of hedge funds getting the US judicial system to act as their collection agency is really humorous when you look at the amount of resources that the US and Europe have expropriated from Argentina over the years.
