I agree production right now is not important.
Curious about your source of information that reserves are limited in Panama. Where did you pull that from? When I add up Lata, Mestizo, ODM. Pamilla, Botija Abajo, and all the other target under exploration I come up with three or four million ounces AuEq available. Then of course there are the five to seven million ounces available in Spain and Portugal. That was discussed in the papers recently and in the video too. Didn't you watch the videos?
I don't know who the IR guy was you are quoting, but our VP discussed this week at the meeting things were full speed ahead in both Portugal and Spain. I guess you didn't talk to anyone who was in Denver. Don't worry, we have enough Au, AG, Cu, and Zn to justify building another process plant in Spain for all of the ore coming out of the JV. You really should keep up on things and participate more.
