		<description>Let&#039;s hope Ecuadorian authorities are beginning to see the importance of having foreign investors and playing nice with them.  President Correa’s administration has surely managed to scare investors in the past 18 months with their nationalist approach to business.  

This banana republic has great potential to make huge strides in their mining industry only through fair open market practices.  However, it will take some serious convincing to get new investors to take their chances after they saw how some mining companies were left out to dry through the government’s six-month moratorium on all mining activity.  It must’ve been tough to explain to investors how they should keep their operations afloat without any chance to do real work.  

Anyway, only time will tell the growth of the mining industry in Ecuador.  Stay tunned.</description>

		<description>This is indeed becoming a big problem there, especially as the economy worsens and jobs get harder and harder to find.
For those of you that are seeking jobs at these mines, I have info about opportunities at Freeport on my blog.</description>
