Feb 06th, 2018 - 01:14 am +4Shareholders take risks. It's the name of the game. Some become disgruntled by misreading the risks. That is, as it is.
What remains the objective, is that the Islands profit from the resources around their shores. As far as I can tell, with licensing fees, etc., that is exactly what they've done.
Extraction will be profitable one day, and then it'll happen. As certain as the sun rising or Norway's Hell freezing over :-)
It will. Somehow I can only see the Islanders coming out on top. That's the way it should be.

“The Spanish removed their formal representative and settlers from the island from 1810 and completed it by 1811.”
Make your mind up.
. Britain surveyed West Falkland in 1790, and British whaling/sealing continued since 1774.
Why didn't Spain prevent this if they were in charge.?
“The islands were left to their own fate for the next decade as sealing and whaling ships might call in from time to time to take advantage of the harbour and fresh water”
They called in all of the time, not from time to time, including at Port Egmont, New Island and locations other than Port Louis.
“ It was not to be until 1820 that the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata would send a frigate to the islands.”
As the United Provinces found out about Jewitt's flag raising from a British newspaper article, how could they have sent what was a pirate ship?
Explain how Jewitt represented the United Provinces when less than 5 years later he was fighting for Brazil against the United Provinces?. He was also born in the USA.
