Ecua,

As some have posted on the ARU board, this might be a concerted effort by other mining companies to keep an ongoing pressure on the Government...every day a new miner will fall in line and follow the Mandate of stopping their work and laying off their workers. This will keep happening, and as more workers loose their jobs the Country will become more aware of the injustices of the Mandate!

Instead of them all doing it on just one day, it will be an a daily occurance that will make the Government and Correa act quickly to end this....

I believe that ARU and EML are working together on this...they are more closely tied together than most think...they are doing the aerosurvey together because their concessions are next to each other...and I still think there is a chance that they might join forces, or ARU might buyout EML....

Best Regards,

Long for Cash
