Don't under estimate the importance of a safe jurisdiction in which to mine. There are even rumblings of unsafe areas for mining takeovers in Canada, not to mention other areas around world. Gold has been breaking out for the last few trading sessions, look for it to go to $ 1800 then pit stop at $ 2000 on it's way to $ 3000 rather quickly. I will be moving more of my money here from other gold miners. When the economies really start feeling the final squeeze they will be looking for gold & silver, Canada doesn't even own Gold in it's treasury, where do you think they will get it from? The same goes for every other country except the USA because of the great leader that we have, we have all our gold plus some, so be very careful where you invest this year and next. I also believe Mexico will be somewhat safe but do your own due diligence. TM
