If this find proves to be true, it could forebode decades more instability based on Corporate interests using various gov'ts to try and control or disrupt this making its way to market based on who the winners and losers are.
We saw how Corporate interests have pervaded and taken over Gov't at all levels including the UN when,
in a story i cited prior, the WTO forced Samoa to not block the purchase of a considered US food waste product (Turkey butts) as this had become a very lucrative sales market for US big farms who otherwise could not sell this product due to the poor health outcomes it was associated.
The sovereignty of this country and its ability to participate in global markets was put at knife point of 'allow the Turkey butts or be excluded'.
Not surprising then that a commodity like Gold has seen corporate interests use gov't and other forces to overthrow gov'ts.
