Where have you been? The Russian deal is a JV. The Russians put up the money and will get the Vz. half back as part of the first profits coming out of any mining. " ain't gonna happen"--already did .

Kry ,as you know ,has a contract to dig the gold for CVG.

Sidestep ??? Vz. is Vz. they just may want to get both mines started at once or they may not want to get tied up in court with GRZ stopping the mine for years.

Whatever the reason, Why do you try to bust on me?? You are smarter than that and so am I.

By the way---What is in Bolivar State ??
