Unlocking One of the World’s Most Prolific Gold Mining Regions

I rarely outright speculate, you’re correct I should not have used the word orbit
Rusoro is a Canadian registered stock, with majority control by Russion holders. That in itself makes me nervous.
Rusoro has had losses in previous quarters; a lot of cash has been used for acquisitions and partnerships.
Selected Quarterly Information
Q3 2008 (12,490.000)
Q2 2008 (36,818.000)
Q1 2008 (17,263.000)
Q4 2007 (12,980.000)
Many filings with the TSX are un – audited, the fact that filings are accepted, deem that they are reasonably accurate.
If Rusoro sold gold at a 25% discount to a buddy, that would be fraudulent. It most likely was presold prior to production via contract.
“…the Company is selling its gold production to registered local purchasers in Venezuela at prices based on the U.S. dollar spot price of gold, minus an average 19% discount, with settlement in bolivars pegged to the parallel rate (as defined in Venezuelan Exchange Controls and Revenue). This is more beneficial than exporting the gold at the spot price of gold and collecting through the Central Bank of Venezuela (“CBV”) in bolivars at the official rate of exchange. As a result, the Company’s reportable revenue and realized prices per ounce are below the average U.S. dollar spot price of gold. “
I do question entries such as this:
“ SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
3. On November 14, 2008 the Company advanced $1.5 million to a company owned by an officer, director and major shareholder for the purchase of a plant for the treatment of diamonds (Note 20). “ I cannot find any mention of this in note # 20.
The share capital is heavily diluted:
SHARE CAPITAL 391,455,669
Stock Options 35,376,178
Warrants 108,800,129
Fully Diluted 535,632,006
Although,
RML has issued to Goldfields 140,000,00 shares
Rusoro will pay Gold Fields $150 million in cash; accept $30 million in a convertible vendor loan; plus tend 140 million Rusoro shares (worth $308 million last Friday, after the deal announcement), in exchange for Choco and the rest of Gold Fields' Venezuelan assets.
RML has issued 4.6m shares for the Hecla transaction
Corporate Development Highlights during 2008
PREPAIDS AND DEPOSITS 7,414,046
INVENTORIES – GOLD 6,264,672
As at September 30, 2008, the Company holds cash of $604,632
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s cash position decreased from $31 million at December 31, 2007 to $20 million at September 30, 2008. This was due to a cash outflow from operating activities of $14 million, a cash inflow from financing activities of $74 million and a cash outflow from investing activities of $71 million. The Company’s current assets excluding cash less current liabilities decreased by $15.0 million, from $0.6 million as at December 31, 2007 to negative $14.4 million as at September 30, 2008, due to increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and income tax payable more than offsetting the increase in cash held as collateral, receivables and inventories – materials. Financing activities included $75.3 million received from the Hambro Financing. The Hambro financing principal of $80 million is repayable in full in June 2010 and bears interest at 10% per annum with semi-annual payments. Investing activities included $28 million related to the Hecla-Venezuela Acquisition and payment under the commitment agreement to create the Mixed Enterprise, $16.5 million of exploration expenditures and $21.7 million of PP&E expenditures
The fact remains, if Rusoro acquires GRZ and KRY they will be a power house in Venezuela, will this happen? Who knows…It seems the Russians are very confident they will succeed.
