CARACAS (Reuters) - Canadian miner Rusoro (RML.V: Quote) called on Venezuela on Friday to lift gold export limits and said it was not interested in the South American country's Las Cristinas mine unless the rules were changed.
Rusoro's CEO Andre Agapov told Reuters that laws limiting exports to 50 percent of gold production were detrimental to foreign companies and were hurting job creation efforts.
