AGORACOM Maintenance Alert: Going Offline Tonight, and Friday night for about an hour

Dear Members.

AGORACOM will be updating our server framework tonight and tomorrow night. As a result our discussion forums will be down for 1 hour or less.

These problems stemmed from our recent switch to a new web host and some issues with our DNS records (the settings that tell your web browser where our website is located). We believe we have squashed these bugs and are looking forward to pushing these updates through.

In anticipation of this scheduled maintenance we suggest the following:

1. If you are going to post any long and intensive material after 6PM either tonight or on Friday night, save a copy. We don’t expect to lose any data from the last 2-3 hours but better to be safe than sorry

2. Our blog (which you are reading right now) and Twitter account will be unaffected during the downtime, so feel free to contact us at either if you have any issues and can’t reach us through the site.

Best thing to do is to post comments on our blog. Alternatively you can reach us by emailing contactagora@agoracom.com

3. We expect the migration to be very smooth but please let us know if you have any issues.

4. If you are in Toronto, or the GTA, enjoy the weather! Summer is here so go out and have some fun!

We trust the above to be satisfactory as we strive to continually provide you with a great AGORACOM experience.

Thanks,
George and the AGORACOM Team

"well we know that Sylvia was referencing the latest version as this is the first time we've heard that open pit mining is accepted and a max 5% royalty (before they said it could be up to 6%)

it would be interesting to see if this versin references that clause (open pit mining)

also, any version will be titled 'a draft' until it is passed into law

the better the draft law looks, the worse it looks on Patrick

The draft mining law published in May actually references a maximum royalty of 5%:

Definición de Regalía Minera.- Pago al Estado por la explotación de los recursos minerales. Se paga en base al valor del mineral procesado.

Rangos de pago

- De 1 @ US $ 50 millones/año paga 3%

- Entre US $ 50 – 100 millones paga 4%

- Mas de 100 millones paga 5%

** Los pequeños productores mineros y mineros artesanales no pagan

The draft mining law published in May also references the clause regarding open pit mining referenced in Sylvia's article:

Art. ..Permiso de explotación.- Cuando las labores mineras a las que se refiere el literal c) del Art. 18 de la presente Ley, requieran un sistema de explotación a cielo abierto, el titular minero, como condición habilitante y previo al inicio de sus labores, deberá solicitar por escrito la intervención del Ministerio de Minas y Petróleos en la negociación justa de compra tierras en los casos que el contratista no haya tenido éxito en la compra de los terrenos que serán utilizados para la explotación.
