Eloro: Gold in Peru, Polymetallic Prospect in Bolivia
Eloro (V.ELO) CEO Tom Larsen would have every right to be frustrated with South America. The company’s extremely promising La Victoria Gold/Silver Project in north central Peru has had to deal with 100 year rains and then community politics 3000 meters up in the Andes. Even with widespread community support, until a new President was elected in the community and a community vote to approve the surface rights was held, Eloro could not proceed with exploration. After being sidetracked for more than a year a new President was finally elected in early December.
