I am sure Lord Petty will expand upon the $1.6 Mil capital budget. It ($) is for a great expansion of the Escala mine area, include its own apparent gold field fore the reasons he stated in the PR. That is encouraging!
Escala already has small production that makes it self sufficient and the 100 ton/day plant that is near to being declared in operation. Do I like the delay? Hedge apples, no! But that is S.A. and no doubt Bolivia's troubles have contributed to the slower business climate. But - Bolivia needs the income from this mine as well as others. That is a good incentive regardless of who is in power. I pray they will find a less aggresive way to settle this.
