Jimmy the big thing RML brings is perception. I have also yet to see a environmental permit announcement from RML, but I am also not sure they have one in the pipeline.

The question is, with the permit are financial instututions willing to risk more money on the project? The perception needs to be V will be a good partner going forward. To this point with the amount of money lost on the project I would say its considered a highly risky venture even with the permit.

RML correctly or incorrectly has created the perception that V will work with them in good faith going forward. They have offical announcments of being the partner of choice. They are running a couple of mines and Chavis for whatever reason thinks they are a Russian company.

I am not an RML pumper. I am invester who has read all three boards for years and am tired of the permit talk. I see a short time frame where something needs to be done this year. If not the company will go into banruptcy and all of our shares will be lost. The permit will pass through bankrupcy to newly formed company who will like sell or mine Las Cristinas. I like many on this board have a significant investment at stake and am looking for a little more than hope. We are the owners of this company and it is up to the Crystallex board then us to set the direction. If we do not agree with the Crystallex board we replace them. I belive there is quite a bit more than several million shares reading this message board on a weekly basis.

Pam, I am obviously not as positive as you, but do enjoy the positive attitude you bring here everyday. If you are striking my posts they must have been over the top.
