IMO, it all comes down to sovereign risk.

Countries in most of Africa and parts of Asia due to massive corruption represent this scenario.

I decided a while ago (during last gold boom) not to invest in mining unfriendly jurisdictions after losing significant sums of money (from memory Lihir gold operating in Mali - Africa).

I even sold out of the other Philippine gold play MML which is doing 'ok' at the moment but could turn into another OGC in the future.
