Mick_Z, I_am not_implying LPI is_running the_show in_Chile
Clearly they (ie the 51% partner) are NOT running anything and thus I agree with you 100%. In fact, I seriously doubt LPI ever truly "hands-on" ran anything in the entire life of this company... and that is the problem in a nutshell. You Ozzies aren't running anything... no drilling, no lobbying for the CEOL, no take-off agreements or even any discussions (since the Fulin debacle) with new "real" JV/financial partners, no attendance to key mineral conferences here in Chile or anywhere on the globe, no workers/miners on the site anymore, there is nothing for us to cheer from you lazy hanger-on bums.
