gw, this news is from around a month ago when the gold sale law came out...agapov (or at least rusoro) has changed his tune a little in the last month...rusoro has been getting butt slammed by venezuela the last month if you hav'nt noticed....sanz said rusoro will not be mining LC, the old hecla workers are griping again, and rusoro got hit with the gold sale law as well (but it affects them now because they are producing...it wont affect us (assuming we're there) for some time.....

now rusoro's line is leaning toward "mining companies will go BK at these levels" but they're using workers to convey it...

i hate to give the russians ANY credit but using the worker unions in ven to convey your business message is a smart move....imo we should have done that years ago...
