VANCOUVER, Dec. 18, 2018/CNW/ -Rusoro Mining Ltd. (the "Company" or "Rusoro")would like to provide an update on the status of the initial US$100 millionpayment from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela("Venezuela"). A portion of the funds were sent by Venezuelaand 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 millionpayment 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 Venezuelaagreed to pay Rusoro over US$1.28 billionfor full release of the arbitral award (the "Award") issued in favor of the Company in August 2016by 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.
