As a result of new decisions of the National Government, cradles in socialist norms that a redistribution of the wealth looks for, the industries of gold which they were based on the municipalities of the South, have left. It has been a single concessionaire who is the Russian group, known initially like the Agapov Group. This group and for reasons that have not been explained, has transformed itself into other industrial denominations like Rusoro Mining Company and Venrusca - Venezuela-Russia. These companies assumed the assets of the company PMG of the Pebble, those of Hecla the Camorra and Hecla the Pebble.

Perhaps Agapov\Rusoro\Venrusca has two sets of books....one for Hugo and management...the other for shareholders. Sounds like a quid pro quo to me. BTW...if this is the case you can bet your left nut they ain't selling 70% to the central bank at the going exchange rate. Didn't I read somewhere that Venezuela was the most corrupt country on the planet? Now if they can only get their greedy little hands on Las Cristinas. It is starting to make sense to me now.

Dammit! There I go again....thinking dark thoughts.
