"Why would Russians not bid for us?"

Remember, GRZ owns the concession while KRY is basically just a contractor to a mine that is owned by a state owned company ... totally different types of contracts.

Is it possible that the government is working with the Russians to get rid of GRZ in a deal where they will re-do their deal like the one that KRY has? After all, the government down there wants it all nationalized.

Who knows ... like almost everyone else I'm just guessing in the dark here.
