Hey guys, great to be a part of this, first forum, my suggestion is not to read too much from media publications, they are there for a purpose, go to the area see what is really happening, ask the locals, unfortunately the mining areas seem to hide the real facts of areas.   We can't be too niave.   This positive propagander to the general public will put them in a positive light – this is what they need to do…..look at us and what we have done for the town.   Can you imagine a media publication or a massive mining company allowing negative feedback going into publications – they have the deepest pockests please – with the politics involved, no one has any guarantees with the mining industries.   Just go and take a look at America and some of the towns that were used and now just ghost towns.   Dont want to put a downer on things but look at the big big picture if you are going to invest.    I live in one of these towns.     Lies Lies and Lies
