I wonder if you would call "According to the official, one of the options is to bring in companies that can help provide technology and knowhow, and that the government will look at these factors to help decide which project is best for Las Cristinas" possibly strategic investors.

If these stories are close to the truth we have VZ wanting to capitalize on the value of the gold in the ground with gold backed bonds. The only way that works is if they actually start the process of building the fully permitted mines because nobody is buying anything based on a VZ promise to pay with gold when they eventually get around to mining.

We have officials from VZ discussing different plans for LC and each time Kry name comes up as an option. VZ talks about VenRus as a possible strategic investor. Don't you just love the new catch phrase being used by both Mibam officials and Kry management.

Hopefully Khan will get this back on track.
