Yes it will take a while for the true potential of this entire play to eventuate. With many price driving advances along the way. People can stay as short or as long as they wish on this journey, their own needs and timeframes will determine how many are still here in a year or two.

I think selling out while this is in the cents, not yet in the dollars is something many early sellers may live to regret but we all have our own decisions to make regarding how long we stay in any investment.

We have dollar or dollars written all over this IMO and thats just on El Zorro.

Below is a brief but decent history of Chile from Lonely Planet. Worth a read especially for those who are sketchy on South American history.

Political instability driven by both left and right wings movements and governments with the usual interference of the U.S (CIA) held Chile back until the overthrow of the dictator Pinochet late last century.

This shaky era of their history probably meant that overseas investment into mining was relatively scarce and cautious until the last two decades of political stability and prosperity.

This probably accounts for the fact there are still gems like El Zorro and surrounds to be discovered and exploited nowadays.
