IMHO, it was clear VZ wanted a GRZ takeover by Rusoro and I believe much of this garbage has been to facilitate it. I think now they are just stepping up the pressure. However, if VZ believed they could confiscate the concession without a backlash they would just do it.

My concern in all of this is where does KRY stand. We have not been directly attacked beyond the misleading articles (which I believe were more to support the GRZ takeover than anything else) but we have also not been responded to. Just ignored.

This game of "bluff" is getting old. Who will blink first, GRZ or VZ? Will someone make another attempt now at GRZ takeout? The answer to that must come before we get a response on our permit (IMO)
