I am doing an update on CNL in Columbia, the stock has doubled in the past couple months, but what intrigued me was the comments and changes been brought about by this newly elected Secratary of Mines for Antioquia province, the same Guy/Province that ZON is dealing with, sounds positive to me that this guy was brought in to clean things up and get it right!!!!!!

From CNL news, my Bold highlight
In a publicly aired address to media in Medellin, Colombia, on May 24, 2016, the Governor of Antioquia, Luis Perez, noted that the intervention plan against illegal mining has "advanced 64 per cent to date," and he stated: "We will stay there [Buritica] for a while; if someone there is in hiding, believing that we will leave this coming Sunday, he will have to wise up because if we need to remain at Buritica for three, six, nine months or a year, we will do it. We will ensure Buritica becomes an example of peaceful mining." He added, in reference to the conditions at Buritica and nearby towns: "Regulated conditions are in the process of returning to these municipalities. They have become normal -- the markets, food, housing prices and invasions [by non-residents] have diminished substantially."
The intervention is a direct result of the national government's initiative to eliminate illegal mining, through which there have been several similar interventions recently in other parts of the country. It also reflects the newly elected (Jan. 1, 2016) state government of Antioquia's full alignment with the national government's agenda to support legal, private sector mining, as well as the formalization of small-scale local traditional miners.
