3) An operator will mine (that's what I understood). is that's right?

I did a double take when I read that as well. On second read it appeared that they may have been referring to the CVG as the "operator".

6) GRZ CEO mentioned that they are still in negotiations with Ven. Why didn't GRZ deliver LB?

GRZ was kicked off LB....so I guess they "delivered" it.

As far as positive possibilities...I've learned with KRY to expect the worst. Our share price and stock option behavior certainly don't seem to speak of any imminent buy out.
