Court, the Cour de Cassation, overturned the decision of the
Paris Court of Appeal which had
annulled part of the damages portion of the arbitral award
previously rendered in favour of the Company. Mr. Andre Agapov, CEO of Rusoro, noted that this
decision reinstates the arbitral award in full and will allow the
Company to continue to vigorously pursue recognition and
enforcement of the award, the value of which is currently

unlawful expropriation of its investments in Venezuela.
