I think dealing with community leaders in any corner of the world is critical to the success of a natural resource development. The people I met with, when they realized what I was proposing to them or describing to them, were very sincere in believing that they could bring benefit to their small communities, their villages, such that they would improve the quality of life for their people, not just because of mining but because, by its very nature, you would improve the quality of agriculture--the seed stock, the livestock, the breed stock, and so on. Those were all part and parcel of this kind of concept. Dealing with the local people and local leaders, once you establish mutual trust, it becomes just second nature to the success of business.
