From all the news this is what I understand: 1- LaPosta completed the Consolidated FS and they have been reviewed in Moscow. 2- Moscow is required to have the Ministry sign off on the Assets before the statements can be published. 3- The firms interested in buying out Aurus can't make a reasonable bid until the see the assets signed off by the Ministry. 4- In a few days everything will come to a head: * we will see the consolidated statements * confirmation of gold shippments * who the buyers are and what they will be offerring, then the bidding war begins.
