Granted...the Public Relations frontmen for KRY have been very upbeat and positive....but for crying out loud...what do you expect them to say? That is their job. Where is our permit? Where is even the slightest hint of an encouraging word from our partner, the CVG, about our situation. You mean to tell me that Sanz can't even throw us a "hang in there" bone of a cryptic statement? Apparantly not. Look at what Chavez does...not what he says. OK...this is what he (apparantly) said:

"We are taking back big mines, and one of them is one of the biggest in the world. And do you know what it is? It's gold, it's gold," Chavez told supporters at a rally during a speech about the benefits of state control in an economy.

His actions to date (no permit) have been supporting that statement.
