EIK, my request was regarding information on Aurus/Krong, I did not give the location, I was told by my associate that her sister is very resourseful.
Before my associate left for Moscow, she stated her sister already determined Krong was located in Magadan, I never supplied that information. The sister then immediately put out requests to affliates in Magadan (8 hours from Moscow, or my associate would have taken a day trip herself on my behalf when she arrived days later). The sister's associates in Magadan confirmed production and the company's existence. The company was called by the associates in Magadan, but no other information would be confirmed due to the sensitivity of the on going negotiations, the company with whom negotiations were occurring would not confirmed.
So, in answer to your question, the company researched was Krong, as Aurus is a US company.
