Whipping out my crystal ball I, the Amazing Kreskin, make the following prediction:
China will negotiate to obtain our gold/our stock after the award has been handed down, in a deal possibly also involving GRZ. China has been accumulating gold in preparation for what it sees as a new economic order in which the dollar is so devalued that gold replaces it as the new standard and thus highly values Las Cristinas. Moreover, China has been interested in KRY's gold in particular for many years and has been most assuredly following the arbitartion closely. If/when we obtain an award the execution of it will take time, effort, and possibly more money and China knows that and will thus sit in the driver's seat. Vz has nothing to lose and everything to gain by negotiating a deal in which China will satisfy the award in return for our gold/Las Cristinas. Vz. will allow/encourage this because it has no expertise in building a mine and extracting the gold. As part of the deal, China may be required to pay some royalties to Vz. A similar and/or simultaneous deal may be made with GRZ. Of course, China is no fool and will therefore try to negotiate the best price, which might be 50% or so of the amount of the award. The Directors of KRY are hungry for their money and will therefore do everything possible to persuade the shareholders to go for the deal, assuming their consent is required, and the shareholders, being as hungry as the Directors, will accept it after some minimal negotiating. So speculates the Amazing Kreskin.
