Rusoro Mining and secret back channels in Venezuela
In January of this year a secret group consisting of Trump advisor Erik Prince ,
British deal-maker Ian Hannam and mining magnate Peter Hambro , were sent to Caracas Venezuela to meet with Vice President Rodriguez. The official reprted purpose of the mission was to push for the freedom of six imprisoned Citgo executives. contrary to this scenario ,Elliott Abrams, the State Department’s special envoy said the meetings “would appear to violate U.S. sanctions.”
What was the real reason for this secret envoy?...all you need to do is look at the players and read today's headlines to understand their motive...gold resources.
Peter Hambro :
In 2008 as CEO of Peter Hambro Mining Plc (PHM) Peter Hambro made a strategic US$20 million investment in Rusoro Mining. PMH the second largest Russian gold mining company, along with a syndicate of institutional investors agreed to provide the Rusoro Group with a US$80 million Loan.
PHM’s US$20 million loan for shares of Rusoro would give PHM an interest
of approximately 4.0% of the company. Full exercise of the Option Agreement would give PHM an interest of approximately 14.2% of Rusoro.
The remainder of the Loan was funded by a syndicate
including funds which are investment managed by BlackRock Investment
Management International Limited, GLG Partners Limited and Lansdowne
Partners Limited as well as Endeavour Mining Capital Corp.
Currently Peter Hambro is CEO of IRC Limited ,IRC is the largest iron ore mining operator exclusively in the Russian Far East.
Ian Hannam :
Hannam is no stranger to Venezuela. In 2008, while at JPMorgan, he was the financial adviser for a deal in which the Russian miner Peter Hambro invested in a Venezuelan gold mining venture with Vancouver-based Rusoro Mining Ltd.
Was fined £450,000 for insider trading in 2014.
Ian Hannam is CEO of Centar Mining and currently looking for mining deals..his gold mining contract with Afghanistan was canceled when Trump promised to pull out.
Erik Prince:
Trump advisor , ex navy seal, brother of U.S. Education Secetary and founder of
Blackwater Security, has close ties to the state-owned Chinese investment company CITIC.
Currently CEO of Frontier Services Group and is currently raising a $500mil fund to purchase precious metals.

Paris Court of Appeals Decision on Award
Vancouver, Canada -- Rusoro Mining Ltd. (the "Company" or "Rusoro") announces that, in a decision dated 29 January 2019 (the "French Court Decision"), the Paris Court of Appeals partially annulled the arbitral award (the "Award") issued in favour of the Company in August 2016 by a tribunal constituted pursuant to the Canada-Venezuela bilateral investment treaty (the "Treaty") and the rules of the Additional Facility of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.
Whilst the Paris Court of Appeals upheld the tribunal's finding on the merits that Venezuela is liable for the unlawful expropriation of Rusoro's investments, it annulled the Award's finding on damages. The French Court Decision does not seek to determine the damages that Venezuela must pay to Rusoro for its breach of the Treaty.
Rusoro intends to vigorously pursue all available remedies to reinstate the Award's finding on damages in full or otherwise obtain fair compensation for the unlawful expropriation of its investments in Venezuela, including the appeal of the French Court Decision before the French Supreme Court and (if necessary) the resubmission of the case to arbitration to re-determine the amount of damages owed to Rusoro.
Rusoro confirms that the French Court Decision does not impact Venezuela's obligation to pay Rusoro at least US$100 million as partial payment for the expropriated investments under the Agreement executed between them in October 2018.

Rusoro Mining Provides Update on Initial Payment from Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
Vancouver, Canada -- Rusoro Mining Ltd. (the "Company" or "Rusoro") would like to provide an update on the status of the initial US$100 million payment from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela ("Venezuela"). A portion of the funds were sent by Venezuela and received by a Canadian bank representing Rusoro. The bank refused to advance the funds to Rusoro due to concerns about the US sanctions and the effect facilitating the payment may have on their US subsidiary.
The Company continues to work with the global banking community and is optimistic it will be able to find a satisfactory process to enable the receipt of the US$100 million payment in the near future and also future payments as they become due.
In October 2018, the Company announced the signing of a settlement agreement ("Settlement Agreement") in which Venezuela agreed to pay Rusoro over US$1.28 billion for full release of the arbitral award (the "Award") issued in favor of the Company in August 2016 by a tribunal constituted pursuant to the Additional Facility of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes and to acquire the Company's mining data.

Anyone remember RUSORO MINING?
Also VISTA? And CRYSTALLEX?
I invested in 2 of the three.
This is what was finalized with Rusoro but I do not know if they were actually compensated by Venezuela. If not, the country owes an additional interest payment of $155,000,000

1. Declares that any alleged breach of the Treaty committed by Bolivarian
Republic of Venezuela and based on the 2009 Measures is time-barred.
2. Declares that the Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to adjudicate the counter-claim submitted by the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
3. Declares that the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela breached Art. VII of the BIT by expropriating Rusoro’s investment in Venezuela without payment of compensation.
4. Declares that the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela breached paragraph 6 of the Annex to the BIT by issuing the 2010 BCV Resolution and imposing
additional restrictions on the export of gold.

annually.

Russia's Rosneft Plans to Sell All Assets Related to Venezuela
Date : 03/28/2020
Source : Dow Jones News
MOSCOW -- In an unexpected move, Russian state oil giant Rosneft announced that it would halt all activities in Venezuela and sell all its assets related to activities in the country.
"Today, Rosneft entered into an agreement with a company 100% owned by the Government of the Russian Federation on the sale of shares and termination of its participation in all projects in Venezuela, including shares in the production enterprises of Petromonagas, Petroperija, Boqueron, Petromiranda and Petrovictoria, in oil-service enterprises and trading operations," the company said Saturday in a statement posted on its website.
Based on the agreement, all of Rosneft's assets and trading operations in and related to Venezuela would be sold, closed or liquidated, the company said.
Once the transaction is concluded, Rosneft would receive a package of its own shares in the amount of 9.6% as a settlement payment, the company added.
The Russian government confirmed that it had acquired assets from Rosneft, the official state news agency RIA Novosti reported.
The announcement comes less than three weeks after the Trump administration added a subsidiary of Rosneft, Geneva-based TNK Trading International SA, or TTI, to its financial blacklist for allegedly helping Venezuela sell its oil in violation of U.S. sanctions. That embargo followed Washington's decision in February to sanction Swiss-registered Rosneft Trading SA, warning that anyone caught doing business with Rosneft's subsidiary risks being sanctioned by the U.S.
The Obama administration first imposed sanctions on Rosneft and a slate of Russian businesses and officials in 2014 to put pressure on President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian separatists to cease their military activity in eastern Ukraine, where a slow-burning conflict was triggered following Moscow's 2014 annexation of the Crimean Peninsula that was controlled by Kyiv.
The Trump administration has since been trying to curb the revenue from oil, gold and other sanctioned sectors that have been helping to keep Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in power. Mr. Putin vowed to back Mr. Maduro, a longtime ally, after Venezuelan parliament speaker Juan Guaidó declared himself interim president in January last year, drawing support from several Latin American countries and the U.S.
Relations between Moscow and Caracas date to 1857, when Russia recognized Venezuela's independence. Venezuela recognized Russia as the Soviet Union's successor in 1991 and five years later the two countries signed a treaty of friendship and cooperation.
In recent years, the two nations undertook joint trade and economic investment projects, mainly involving the development of oil-and-gas fields.
Rosnetft and state-owned Petróleos de Venezuela are implementing five oil projects in Venezuela with a total production of 9 million tons a year -- 7% of the country's total production, state-controlled news agency TASS reported last year. The fate of these projects were unclear following Saturday's announcement.

Mr. Gordon Keep reports
RUSORO MINING EXECUTES SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH BOLIVARIAN REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA
Rusoro Mining Ltd. has executed a settlement agreement with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela by which Venezuela agrees to pay Rusoro over $1.28-billion (U.S.) to acquire the company's mining data and for full release of the arbitral award issued in favour of the company in August, 2016, by a tribunal constituted pursuant to the Additional Facility of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.
The settlement agreement includes, among other terms:
•Venezuela has agreed to pay the company an initial payment of $100-million (U.S.) in November, 2018. Upon completion of that initial payment, the company will suspend the legal enforcement of the award and deliver the company's mining data to Venezuela.
• Venezuela has agreed to pay the balance of the amounts due under the settlement agreement in monthly instalments over five years, starting in January, 2019.
• Upon the final and full payment of the settlement agreement, the company will cease all legal activities related to the collection of the award.
• The company may resume the legal enforcement of the award if any payment due under the settlement agreement is not received by the company within the periods provided in the settlement agreement. The company may also terminate the settlement agreement in certain scenarios if Venezuela defaults on its obligations.
• Venezuela retains the right to continue the proceedings to set aside the award at the seat of the arbitration in Paris. If the award were set aside, Rusoro will retain any payments made until that date as consideration for the termination of its mining rights and acquisition of its mining data.
•In addition, the parties will constitute a mixed commission to evaluate the status of Rusoro's former projects and determine if the parties should proceed with a joint venture.
"The signing of this agreement represents a significant milestone in our continued relationship with Venezuela and we are excited for the company and its shareholders to begin this new chapter," commented Vladimir Agapov, chairman of Rusoro.
