gw, el diario had the same story but this is the part i'd like to know more about...

"He said the miners' leader asked him the highest authority of the company that owns the concession that the support with the necessary machinery to bring down the heavens open hills that are in place"

why dont they say "cvg/minerven" or "venrus".....i hav'nt seen anywhere, in any story, who actually owns the concession now....i've seen "abandoned by crystallex" a few times.

i'm telling you, illegal mining is the biggest illegal business in venezuela...bigger than cocaine.

i'm begging for the day the truth comes out about how the ven govt/rusoro made mega bucks off the illegal miners..
