We're Due. If there was ever a "Hello Douchebag" you wanted to follow...this is it. The stage has been set in the press with many news items and pending deadlines (vague though they may be):
- Miners in El Callao on permanent vigil waiting for "funds transfer" to cancel tickets
- Gold sales law clarified
- Stated intent by Venezuela to get the gold out of the ground ASAP
- Stated revised (and looming) 4th quarter JV deadline reaffirmed by Fung
- Permit "freeze" broken with recent issuance of permit to Rusoro
- Caura Plan implemented...miners evicted, alternative structures being developed
- JV paperwork complete...awaiting rubberstamp by El Piggo
- Resolution prior to upcoming quarterly report is priority of new JV (by definition)
- Latest news (today) states the fate of Las Cristinas is in Hugo Chavez's hands
If the topic of today's "Hello Douchebag" is the mining sector, we should receive a PR from KRY next week. If not? It should be an interesting 4th quarter report.
