GW,

I like the fact that Sanz is a no-nonsense businessman and he will get down to the bottom of matter's with Chavez on property development.

If Chavez say's no he will give a reason(s) why the answer is no and we can get on with matters. I believe in the big picture there is < a 5% chance the answer will be "no" for many political, economical and litigational reason's of which you have heard many times over.

To name a few key reasons, of why the property will move forward -

Crystallex has been a mining company in Ven for 13 yrs with a historical, proven, track record - tenure. KRY has spent $190M on social programs in the Bolivar Region and Crystallex has performed everything expected from them when requested by the Ven Govnt.

What is going to be exciting, is to see who will in fact mine the property in the end. Will there be a joint partner who team's up with Crystallex, or will there be a larger gold fish that comes along and swallows the small minnow Crystallex. With all the blood, sweat and tears that Crystallex and the Longs have gone thru, I'm hoping KRY takes the Property to production. The wait is soon to be over.
