"Regarding a buyout, I have always been suspect of the recent trip Chavez made to South Africa. Will the new owner of LC be Gold Fields who are part owners of Rusoro. Gold Fields fronts the money for a buyout, as they have the capital, and Rusoro mines the Property. Maybe this was the strategy from the start when Gold Fields sold their rights of the Choco Property to Rusoro."

Goldvision - This has seemed very possible to me too for the reasons you state.
