joe, best news i've seen in weeks. this whole mess began with a polyus rumor imo...makes sense it will end with one...

i like this part best..."However, the legal status (of the project) is opaque. The risks for us are too high to join in the project as a public company" – said Ivanov.

if rusoro is considered a "russian" company then polyus must be the czar of the russian companies....if the legal problems at LC are too much for an experienced monster like polyus to mess with right now then what makes a two bit operation like rusoro think they have a shot???

i get the feeling that polyus is trying to convey a message to hugo right now...
