Peru’s President Ollanta Humala is currently on a State visit to Japan (then straight off to South Korea) and in the evening Tokyo time the obligatory State banquet was held in his honour. Oh, but who’s that?

Hanging at the top table with Ollanta, first lady Nadine, FinMin Castilla and other troops was none other than Roque Benavides (arrowed), head honcho of Buenaventura (BVN), JV partner of Yanacocha and therefore large-scale owners of the polemic Conga gold mine project in Cajamarca.
Ever wanted a signal? There’s your signal.
