Agapov adds: "The Ministry of Basic Industries & Mines (Mibam) has a very busy time and with less than a month to go to the national referendum, we (Agapov) are sstill the ONLY partner of choice for the Venezuelan government ... the others simply do NOT exist!"

Agapov must be feeling the heat from the first deadline for shares being tendered and only 3% interested. Pretty sure VZ gave them the Jan. deadline to get this done and when it didn't happen Rml extended the deadline but Sanz couldn't wait any longer.

Interesting how Kry and Grz get lumped together by Agapov when the only PR have been from Rml and Grz. Kry hasn't said a word about all the BS being published since they know they will be fine.
