Venezuela rejects calls to change gold export limits

Fri Jul 8, 2011 7:49pm GMT

CARACAS, July 8 (Reuters) - Venezuela rejected calls on Friday to change rules that limit miners to exporting just 50 percent of their gold output, saying the system was "favorable" to foreign companies working in the South American country.

Industry Minister Jose Khan also said the government had received interest from various foreign companies in its giant Las Cristinas gold mine, which has estimated reserves of 17 million ounces but has not been developed since the 1980s. (Reporting by Marianna Parraga; Editing by Alden Bentley)
