My only concern specific to Rusco is that I hear they are the company of choice in VZ for Gold mining opportunites as per the recent comments made at Canaccord: (not sure if it is true other then I keep reading it)

"Rusoro was selected as the country’s partner of choice by the Venezuelan Government for gold mining opportunities."

What I find difficult to understand is that Crystallex, who has a 15 - 16 year history mining in VZ, and who has continued to be very supportive the VZ way with their social projects, and who were told to come back to the table to help develop an environemental plan etc etc etc, only to be told nothing from the same officals that they were working with all along is just unbelieveable. IF this is the VZ way, and it very well could be, then we have all been dubed. Should be an interesting weekend....
