One thing to remember on a JV is that VZ. has to come up with 50% of the cost, typically.
It would actually cost Vz. money to go to a jv with Crystallex.
IMO, contracts are the way to go for them. Not responsible for the management headaches and no up-front cash needed.
If gold continues up, or other positives, a simple increase in taxes will compensate for any "windfall" profits. The distribution of profit percentages will remain the same.
