HOUSTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Toronto-listed miner Gold

Reserve ( GDRZF ) said on Monday it filed a complaint in a

Delaware court against Rusoro Mining ( RMLFF ) for alleged breach

of its contractual obligations under a consortium agreement to

submit a bid for the parent of Citgo Petroleum in a

court-organized auction.

A $5.9 billion bid by an affiliate of Elliott Investment

Management was recommended as the auction's winner in August,

beating Gold Reserve's ( GDRZF ) $7.9 billion bid. Both offers included an

agreement with Rusoro to use its $1.5 billion claim related to

expropriated assets in Venezuela as part of the bids.

"Gold Reserve ( GDRZF ) is seeking preliminary injunctive relief to

enjoin Rusoro from participating in the sale process during the

pendency of the action, among other forms of relief," the miner

said in a release.
