The fact that we haven't anything from Ven officials (mining or otherwise) about this proposed JV with China, and how wonderful it is.....concerns me a lot.

All we've heard from KRY is that Ven has "expressed support"....well they've expressed support in the past and that went no where. So where do we really sit in Ven? We don't know.

But we also know that the World Cup is starting and every where in Latin America the countries are grinding to a halt for the next month so that they can watch and bet on their futball.

The question is: When Ven comes to a halt, how can anyone tell?
