"it would'nt suprise me if venezuela/kry pull some BS agreement to extend the JV agreement past the arbitration deadline or "nullifies the dispute letter"...still no permit (or maybe a permit with an "additional" action needed)...but i can see a PR that "looks great" but still does'nt result in mining LC."

Regardless of any such announcement, which I believe to be possible. In absence of the final permit, I'm 100% convinced that the company will not miss the arbitration deadline.

The very strong reason is that RF has always protected himself throughout and missing the deadline might open the Directors up to personal liability actions
