I think you'll get more bang for your buck going to Columbia. Not only will you get to meet the CEO, maybe Ken Lamb, but also the rest of the folks down and about working the mines. You can actually get a genuine feel for how things are going, and what everybody is doing. I hear they have two nice secretaries.
I think you should ask on the board who wants to go to colombia and get a list made up and organize a trip and go... .. lots of people will see for themselves..
I do not wish to go to colombia I do not wish to burn my delicate skin..
