Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The VICE newsmagazine on HBO television has just done a documentary about geologist and mining entrepreneur Keith Barron's return to Ecuador as CEO of Aurania Resources, and it suggests that the country and its people have taken a new, realistic, and practical approach to exploiting their mineral riches.

An excerpt from the documentary, headlined "Meet the Real-Life Indiana Jones Hunting for Gold in the Amazon," is posted at VICE News here:
