I wonder what the use of these ratings is and why the largest gold mine in the world and a very large cause of controversy in Papua is rated as of 'low' importance... Bever 213.10.149.151 21:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

There is no mention of Jim Bob Moffet CEO of the largest gold mine in the world either. See www.austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/2005-09-23/pols_feature.html
