Pathetic but true. My guess is you will still get the same "Stepford Wife" response to our situation from RM when asked of our current situation..."We have full faith that the permit will be blah blah blah....and we communicate daily with officials at the highest levels of blah blah blah. I think CJR is right. We have been and are still being stonewalled by KRY mangement regarding what the REAL status has been and is. A merger between KRY and GRZ to fight both Rusoro and Venezuela might make sense at this point. I'm not sure if that would work given the MOA versus the Concession models. Would it be possible to arrange some type of "strategic alliance?". KRY gets the benefit of GRZ's superior cash position to fight the legal battles and KRY returns the favor by paying GRZ back with future gold sales. Help me here.
