OUt of all of the information we have received it is a political game between Mimbam and mibam. However, this ploy by Mimbam was very irresponsible. It has caused a great deal of damage to foreign investment, but I don't think the Vennies care.

The issue with the miners has been worked on for years with no resolution. At first they tried the military, but that was a horrible situation. It resulted in a number of miner deaths. They have been trying to relocate miners to other areas and jobs, but the miners are relunctant to move. I can not imagine the Vennies are that smart to deny mining in this region in order to move the small miners out inorder to make room for the large companies. I wish this was the case, but I don't think the Vennies have the foresight.
