In my opinion it won't be Rusoro or any other Russian company, it will be Chinese. The Russians already have a piece of the pie with the Venrus deal. They will develop other parts of LC IMHO.

The part we consider LC is the part we have the MOC for. This is their top gold property as far as I know. It is possible for a Russian company to be involved but I don't see us in a JV with a Russian company.

Doing business with the Russian would be like the fable where a guy finds a freezing snake by the side of the road. The snake asks for help and the guy says he is afraid the snake will bite him. The snake promises not to bite the guy so he puts the snake in his pocket to warm up. When the snake is better it bites the guy and before he died he says why did you bite when you promised not to. The snake says you knew I was a snake when you picked me up!
