The legislation is new, yet reflective of a cycle of increased nationalism and control over natural resources; the miner is laid bear before the entire Legislative Assembly if it wishes to pursue a mine with all of the political implications that such a process entails. An informed investor would never permit its custodian of funds to pursue a fresh opportunity or geological theory in this country, but would perhaps (in the right circumstances) merely leverage political influence - if any - to gain an interest in an existing asset, provided the value of any asset was adequate to compensate for the majority interest that the state now requires. Similar to Zimbabwe and South Africa in terms of "implied attitude" as objectively measured by the written word.
