Looking at a current chart of RML you can see that the markets do not like the uncertaintly sourrounding its future outlook.

"The Russians are not spared so far, as the state maintains operating mines Rusoro just 5% of the equity pie. Therefore are not susceptible to preferential treatment."

RML's president's departure also tells us that all entities attempting to secure a contract in VZ confirms preferred treatment is not a given for those companies chosen as the so called preferred partner. RML is no different then say a KRY or GRZ as seen through the eyes of VZ. Yet, we know that there are those who are getting contracts (ie. Chevron) to advance their interest in VZ. Who knows...just maybe, KRY will be the chosen one to receive a postive advancement of their project that has been locked up in VZ mumbo jumbo for eternity....

Trying to gain access to a such a world class resource in VZ is proving to be an impossible task...locals (illegals) excluded of course...
