Gold did well Caribj and its not entirely because of miners listen me out. The PPP facilitated a lot of duty free equipment for gold mining thus it made it easier when the drug dealers started laundering money through selling a lot of heavy equipment into GY. (smile)
Thats the truth, many drug dealing operations also moved into gold mining thus production surged. This surge was reported in the press as well. The PPP has also been able to sign some good mining deals with a few canadian companies.
I might add that they also did a great job on the CGX suriname issue by getting Sonny Ramphal involved. Otherwise they would have screwed this up also.
Linden is not as much a mess as you may think. Talk to some old time PNC folks there and you will understand, many of the folks in linden have also moved into mining. So the employment has kinda shifted away from linden into mahdia and region 8.
