TORONTO - CRYSTALLEX INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION (symbol KRY on TSX and

AMEX) President and CEO Marc J. Oppenheimer welcomed the selection of

Crystallex by the Venezuelan government Friday to develop Las

Cristinas, believed to be one of the largest undeveloped gold

projects in Latin America and the world .As a result of this

decision, all legal requirements including title, possession, and

mining rights will be brought together so that development of the Las

Cristinas ore-body can take place.

said Mr. Oppenheimer. "We are pleased to have been selected and look

forward to beginning work on the project. We also salute our

shareholders who have steadfastly stood by our Company as we

patiently sought to obtain possession of this property in a

legitimate and lasting way."



Late Friday in Caracas, Venezuela's state industrial holding company,

Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana (CVG) announced that its Directors

had "approved the signing of an operating contract with the Canadian

company Crystallex for the development of the Las Cristinas gold

deposit." In a statement released following the Board meeting, CVG

President Francisco Rangel Gomez said Crystallex was chosen to

be 1%. From US$280 to US$350 the royalty will be 1.5%. From US$350 to

US$400 the royalty will be 2% and above US$400, the royalty will be

3%. Production will be measured against an annual production plan

prepared by Crystallex and approved by the CVG.The agreement has an

initial term of 20 years with two renewals each for a term of 10

years.



The CVG will assist Crystallex in obtaining all necessary permits,

including explosive and operating permits, and will be responsible

for obtaining environmental permits with the support of Crystallex.



Throughout the term of the agreement Crystallex will have the

exclusive use of National assets related to the project including

digital drill data, drill cores, and existing studies in the

possession of the CVG, and all infrastructure improvements on the

property. Crystallex will pay US$15 million for the acquisition of

these National assets including the use of the data, studies and

infrastructure. Included in the infrastructure is access to the new

hydroelectric substation located adjacent to the site.



Crystallex will address immediately the needs of residents in the

area through the creation of employment, training programs and

improvements to the health care system. In the longer term Crystallex

will address improvements to the water and sewage system and the

local road network.



"We have arrived at an agreement which clearly sets forth our

exclusive access to the reserves and resources of Las Cristinas and

grants to us our exclusive right to exploit the resource to its full

potential," said Mr. Oppenheimer. "We are confident that the

financial and investment community will quickly understand and

support this agreement. We will immediately commence our review of

the data in order that we might complete an in depth feasibility

study to support our construction and production plans."



"We look forward to working with the CVG and the Government to

develop this long awaited project which will benefit not only our

Company, but also the people of Bolivar State and the Kilometre 88

region," added Mr. Oppenheimer.

stated that in the history of the Republic of Venezuela, there has

never been a single case where the government failed to honour

commitments to mining, petroleum or telecommunications companies.

These assurances were made during public meetings this week in

Venezuela with representatives of Crystallex and international

financial institutions.



Crystallex International Corporation dismissed as self-serving the

allegations contained in Vannessa Ventures April 8, 2003 press

binding agreement based on the authority and the laws of the Republic

of Venezuela and is not open to discussion.



5: Feasibility Study approval CVG






Crystallex Announces CVG Approval of Las Cristinas Feasibility Study -

Company now anticipates the construction phase of the project

3/8/2004

Download this Press Release





TORONTO - Crystallex International Corporation (KRY on TSX and Amex)

announced today the approval by the Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana

("CVG") of Crystallex's full Feasibility Study for the development of

the Las Cristinas mining properties in Bolivar State, Venezuela. On

September 17, 2002, Crystallex entered into a mining operation

agreement with the CVG which granted to Crystallex the exclusive

right to fully develop and exploit the significant gold reserves and

resources at Las Cristinas. Mine Development Associates of Reno,

Nevada, estimated in the Feasibility Study that proven and probable

reserves amounted to approximately 10.2 million ounces (246 million

tonnes at 1.29 g/t) based on measured and indicated resources of some

15.3 million ounces (439 million tonnes at 1.09 g/t) inclusive of the

10.2 million ounces of reserves, while inferred resources were

estimated at approximately 6.1 million ounces (208 million tonnes @

0.91 g/t). The full Feasibility Study, prepared by SNC-Lavalin

Engineers & Constructors, was delivered to the CVG on September 10,

2003 by Crystallex, and since that time, Crystallex has worked

closely with the CVG to obtain final approval. The Feasibility Study

addresses and confirms the economic and technical viability of the

Las Cristinas Project and provides the foundation for construction

and operating plans.



6: Land Occupation Permit



TORONTO, ONTARIO, August 4, 2004 – Crystallex International

Corporation (TSX: KRY) (Amex: KRY) today advised that the Land

Occupation Permit (often referred to as the "land use permit") has

been confirmed for the Las Cristinas gold properties. The Land

Occupation Permit authorizes the use of the Las Cristinas properties

for the purpose of mining, and is a critical element of final

permitting for the project. Crystallex and the Corporacion Venezolana

de Guayana ("CVG") are fully engaged in the permitting process,

following the guidelines prescribed by the Ministry of the

Environment and Natural Resources ("MARN"), to obtain the final

permit, i.e. the "Permit to Impact Renewable Natural Resources",

during the fall of 2004, when full scale construction would commence.

As previously announced, detailed engineering and environmental works

are continuing, and purchase orders/contracts are being awarded under

the Engineering Procurement and Construction Management contract with

SNC Lavalin Engineers & Constructors.







Crystallex President and CEO, Todd Bruce, commented, "The Land

Occupation Permit is a critical step in the process of getting Las

Cristinas permitted and its confirmation is a prerequisite to

securing the final "Permit to Impact Renewable Natural Resources"

which will complete the permitting process. Given the level of CVG

and Crystallex involvement in the permitting process and the positive

response of MARN to date, we remain confident that Las Cristinas will

be fully permitted this fall which will see full scale construction

commencing as scheduled. As we speak our site activities continue to

accelerate as we complete refurbishment of the existing construction

camp while extending and tarring the airstrip to accommodate the

increased demands that will be imposed by the project."



7: quarry right



TORONTO, ONTARIO, February 15, 2006 – Crystallex International

Corporation (TSX: KRY) (Amex: KRY) confirmed today that it has been

granted the rights to explore and develop a quarry for aggregate by

the Mining Institute (IAMIB) of Bolivar State, Venezuela. Aggregate

is required for the construction of the Las Cristinas Project and the

concession is located approximately 1 kilometre from the Las

Cristinas Project site.



Todd Bruce, President and CEO of Crystallex commented, "The issuing

of the quarry permit is an important step in widening our options to

secure aggregate for the Las Cristinas project. Crystallex looks

forward to the receipt of the final environmental permit so that

construction of the Las Cristinas mine can commence."



8: Permit (not the big one)



(TSX: KRY) (Amex: KRY) reported today that the Ministry of the

Environment and Natural Resources ("MARN") in Venezuela has notified

Crystallex of the Ministry's approval of the "Permit to Impact

Natural Resources" for a quarry on the Albino property to provide

aggregate for the adjacent Las Cristinas project, and of the

initiation of the normal administrative process by the Ministry.



Previously, on February 15, 2006, Crystallex announced that it had

been granted the rights to explore and develop a quarry on the Albino

property as a source of aggregate for the Las Cristinas project by

the Mining Institute (IAMIB) of Bolivar State, Venezuela. Aggregate

is required for the construction and operating phase of the Las

Cristinas Project which currently contains gold reserves of some 13.6

million ounces at a gold price of US$400 per ounce. The Albino

concession is located approximately 1 kilometre from the Las

Cristinas Project site.



Todd Bruce, Crystallex President and CEO commented, "MARN's approval

of the Permit to Impact Natural Resources for the Albino aggregate

quarry that will service the Las Cristinas project is a key

development as it brings us closer to the issuance of the Permit to

Impact Natural Resources for the Las Cristinas project itself. We

look forward with great anticipation to receiving this final permit

for Las Cristinas which will enable the company to commence the

construction process."



9: one of the most important approval



TORONTO, ONTARIO, March 26, 2006 – Crystallex International

Corporation (TSX: KRY) (Amex: KRY) reported today that at meetings

convened by the Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana ("CVG"), Crystallex

was informed by the CVG it has received official notice from the

Ministry of Basic Industry and Mining ("MIBAM") advising that MIBAM

has formally approved the technical, economic and financial

Feasibility Study for the Las Cristinas gold exploitation project. In

addition, Crystallex has received formal confirmation of this

approval directly from MIBAM itself.



The official approval of the project by MIBAM is based on the

original terms and conditions of the underlying Mine Operating

Agreement ("MOA") signed between the CVG and Crystallex in September

2002. Approval by MIBAM of the Las Cristinas gold project is a

critical milestone as it brings final resolution to the technical,

economic and financial parameters of the Las Cristinas gold project

as established in the Crystallex Feasibility Study. Through the MIBAM

approval, the Government of Venezuela has officially sanctioned the

Las Cristinas gold project from the technical, economic and financial

perspective. The project will be of significant importance to the

State of Bolivar and the Republic of Venezuela.



Todd Bruce, Crystallex President and Chief Executive Officer

said, "This formal approval by MIBAM represents the crucial

cornerstone for the development of the Las Cristinas gold project and

also represents the final external input required by the Ministry of

the Environment and Natural Resources ("MARN") to complete the

permitting process. We anticipate receiving this MARN permit in the

near term which will allow us to immediately begin construction of

the Las Cristinas Gold Project."



Detailed engineering and design for the Las Cristinas project is

essentially complete and approximately US$179 million has been

committed, including US$94 million already spent, under contract for

equipment purchase orders comprising all long lead items such as the

mining fleet, crushers and grinding mills, as well as various

construction and service contracts. The mining fleet is ready and in

storage on the docks in Houston, USA and Antwerp, Belgium and all the

other major equipment items are also on schedule in terms of

fabrication and delivery.



Upon receipt of the final permit from MARN, Crystallex will commence

construction of the base case 20,000 tonnes per day ("tpd") operation

which should see initial production commence in early 2008 at an

average level of approximately 300,000 ounces of gold annually over

the first five years. With 13.6 million ounces of proven and probable

gold reserves, in excess of 17.7 million ounces of measured and

indicated gold resources and an additional 4.5 million ounces of

inferred gold resources (Crystallex News Release dated February 13,

2006), Crystallex plans to assess opportunities to double the scale

of operations to 40,000 tpd based on the previously completed 40,000

tpd expansion pre-feasibility study which would see annual gold

production average approximately 500,000 ounces.



10: not applicable to the Crystallex Las Cristinas operating

contract, Article 11, read on



TORONTO, ONTARIO, June 13, 2006 – Crystallex International

Corporation (TSX: KRY) (Amex: KRY) - commented today that there has

been considerable confusion resulting from yesterday's press coverage

on possible revisions to the Venezuelan mining law, namely the

incorporation of mixed companies as an exploitation structure in the

mining sector. The Government stake in such mixed companies would be

at least 51%.



The Crystallex share price has been negatively impacted as the market

seems to have interpreted the comments about mixed companies in the

mining sector to mean that this structure has now become the only

model under which mining will be allowed in Venezuela.



It is important therefore to stress that the mixed company model

under discussion is not applicable to the Crystallex Las Cristinas

operating contract as the draft mining law provides express

recognition of existing contracts which are in proper execution and

good legal standing.



Furthermore Article 11 of the draft mining law specifically provides

for exploitation by way of operating contract, in a manner separate

and distinct from the mixed company structure contemplated elsewhere

in the draft. A translation of Article 11 is provided as follows:



"Article 11: For the purposes of this Law, operation contracts shall

be understood as those legal arrangements entered into between

National Social Mining Production Corporation and private legal

entities, for the rendering of services within the work frame of

exploration activities and rational and sustainable exploitation of

mineral resources."



Crystallex holds a valid and binding operating contract issued by the

state through the Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana ("CVG"), its

regional natural resource development arm, that was officially

approved and endorsed by the Ministry of Basic Industries and Mining

("MIBAM") in March of this year. As noted in the Venezuelan press

yesterday, MIBAM was the entity responsible for preparing the mining

law reform working paper and providing it to the National Assembly.

12: shareholder rights plan, protection from low hostile buyout,

don't always work but we all get a vote



TORONTO, ONTARIO, October 30, 2006 – Crystallex International

Corporation (TSX: KRY) (Amex: KRY) - announced that the shareholders

of the company have voted at a special meeting held earlier today to

ratify, confirm and approve a new shareholder rights plan

(the "Rights Plan") which was originally approved by the Board of

Directors of Crystallex on June 22, 2006 following the Corporation's

2006 annual and special meeting of shareholders.



The Rights Plan has not been adopted in response to any proposal to

acquire control of the Corporation and is not intended to prevent

take-over bids. Under the Rights Plan, take-over bids which meet

certain requirements intended to protect the interests of all

shareholders are deemed to be "Permitted Bids". Permitted Bids must

be made by way of a take-over bid circular prepared in compliance

with applicable securities laws and, among other conditions, must

remain open for sixty days.



The Rights Plan is similar to other shareholder rights plans recently

adopted by other Canadian corporations. Until the occurrence of

certain specific events, rights issued pursuant to the Rights Plan

will trade with the common shares of the Corporation and be

represented by the share certificates for such shares. The rights

become exercisable only when a person, including any party related to

or acting jointly or in concert with such person, acquires or

announces its intention to acquire 20% or more of the outstanding

common shares common shares of the Corporation without complying with

the "Permitted Bid" provisions of the Rights Plan. Should a non-

permitted acquisition occur, each right would entitle each holder of

common shares (other than the offeror or certain parties related to

it or acting jointly or in concert with it) to purchase additional

common shares of the Corporation at a 50% discount to the market

price of the shares at that time.



The Rights Plan is subject to reconfirmation at every third annual

meeting of shareholders until its expiry on June 22, 2016.



13: approval of the Environmental Impact Study



TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKETWIRE) -- 06/14/07 -- Crystallex

International Corporation (TSX: KRY)(AMEX: KRY) reported today it has

received notice from the Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana ("CVG"),

that the requirements of the Ministry of the Environment and Natural

Resources of Venezuela ("MinAmb" formerly referred to as "MARN") for

the issuance of the Environmental permit to commence construction of

the Las Cristinas Project have been fulfilled.



MinAmb, based on its approval of the Environmental Impact Study

("EIS") for the Las Cristinas gold project, requested the CVG to post

a Compliance Guarantee Bond and pay certain taxes for the issuance of

the Environmental permit. Crystallex has posted the bond and paid the

taxes.



The CVG confirmed that the approval of the EIS, the posting of the

bond and the payment of the taxes represent the final and conclusive

step in the procedure for the issuance of the Environmental permit to

construct the Las Cristinas Project. Crystallex as the builder and

operator of Las Cristinas will have use of this permit in order to

construct the project on the basis of the approved feasibility study.



In the formal notice that MinAmb sent to the CVG, it was stated that

the Environmental permit will be issued following the payment of

taxes and posting of the bond. The CVG now awaits the permit required

for the construction of the mine from MinAmb.



Mr. Gordon Thompson, Crystallex President and CEO commented, "The

request by the Venezuelan Government for the posting of the

Compliance Guarantee Bond and taxes further confirms our

understanding that we've complied with the very final stage of the

procedure for receipt of the environmental permit."

gold (501 million tonnes grading 1.10g/t gold comprising 66 million

tonnes at a grade of 1.21g/t containing 2.57 million ounces in

Measured Resources and 435 million tonnes at a grade of 1.08g/t for

15.09 million ounces in Indicated Resources).



- The average grade of Measured and Indicated Resources decreased 6%

from 1.10g/t to 1.03 g/t due to the inclusion of slightly lower grade

mineralization in the current resource estimate.



- The Inferred Resource estimate, which does not contribute towards

Proven and Probable Reserves, increased to 6.28 million ounces (230

million tonnes at an average gold grade of 0.85g/t) from 4.54 million

ounces (163 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.87g/t gold). This

represents an increase of 1.74 million ounces, or 38%, in the

Inferred Resource.



Reserves:



- Proven and Probable Reserves are estimated at 16.86 million ounces

of gold (464 million tonnes grading 1.13g/t). The updated reserve

estimate comprises 113 million tonnes at a gold grade of 1.24g/t

(4.48 million ounces) in Proven Reserves and 351 million tonnes at a

grade of 1.10g/t (12.38 million ounces) in Probable Reserves. This

represents an increase of 2.85 million ounces or 20% from the Proven

and Probable Reserve of 14.01 million ounces (278 million tonnes

grading 1.15g/t gold at a gold price of $450 per ounce) reported in

February, 2007.
