Either way it is between them and Venezuela. We are only the operater of the mine. I'm sure Venezuela has offered them their $50 back that they paid Placer Dome at the deadline. Placer didn't live up to their obligations and was about to get the boot. If they had a leg to stand on do you think they would have sold for $50 and the rights to buy in later. No wonder transnational companies get a bad rap when a company tries to do an end run and make a country and leader look stupid.
