Crystallex ready to start mine Las Cristinas Project
Saturday, 20 June 2009
The company has been complying with all the clauses, particularly those that address the provision of community services, such as the two most important works, plant sewage treatment and construction of hospital
Isidro Casanova
Luis Felipe Cottin, president of the Canadian company Crystallex confirmed that, as operator of the Las Cristinas project, is ready to begin building the mine and the fact mentioned that have met all requirements of government agencies, including the reformulation plan for environmental preservation.
He recalled that since 2002, to assume the operation of the Las Cristinas project, the company has been complying with all the clauses, particularly those that address the provision of community services, using the example, and the two most important works such as plant sewage treatment, starting last Wednesday and the construction of a hospital whose performance is at 90%.
-Compliance with the clauses of Crystallex is in sight. It is these last two works, but the company has implemented many services in different parts of this parish, works aimed at improving the quality of life of people in San Isidro Parish. This means the engineer Cottin-emphasizes that by complying with our commitments and with respect to the start of construction of the Las Cristinas mine, have responded with everything that we have been asked to the reformulation of the project management environment.
Cottin The engineer was interviewed during the opening ceremony of the plant for sewage treatment that Crystallex built in Las Claritas, to serve this town and surrounding villages.
What do you think of recent decisions with respect to new conditions in the gold industry?
-That we are not officially informed. We know the comments of the press. We are still at the helm of the Las Cristinas project, which operates as a company we are.
Expect the evaluation of the resolution of the Central Bank
Having to face a corporate executive is not possible but on specific dates, we wanted to keep asking about new opinions. Although his answers, sometimes monosílabas give no idea of who wants to talk more of decisions and resolutions, we insist.
Crystallex insists on starting the Las Cristinas project, but businessmen say that gold is bad business to sell 60% of gold to the central bank in exchange for U.S. $ 2.15 to the dollar what you think about?
If we have not even started building the mine and was awaiting the decision of starting the project, we can talk bad about this time in sales and prices of gold. I think at the time that we produce, the problems could be solved.
One observation that considered refreshing.
We-the-highlights-100% of the gold that we have produced, sold it to the Central Bank of Venezuela. Now the problem we have is access to foreign exchange.
75% of workers in Las Claritas expect starting Las Cristinas
Pablo Martinez, secretary general of the union Sutic-Bolivar, based in the San Isidro Parish, said that the hope for the thousands of unemployed in the area, start the Las Cristinas project, where they can find employment.
In this parish, he said, we have no source of employment. Illegal mines are the only option that are unemployed, but it is known that the alluvial gold that is easy to use, is running out. The problems are compounded daily. In addition, we rely on the good work that Crystallex will continue to do business, once you start the project, because so far, gave us services and supports us in everything. Hopefully, the talks with the government maintains that the company move quickly and give them all the permissions. We also hope that all the assumptions are given to the company's kaolin Kilometer 88, where 70 employees currently and at the start of construction of the plant will use 200. Like we want to start another project, Brisas del Cuyuni also located in Las Claritas.
We have labor peace
Martinez told investors at the San Isidro Parish is guaranteed labor peace. The peace we have achieved since we decided that we operate only one union, as Sutic. We do not allow the entry of another union because it brings fights.
Lack of approval two community projects
Maria Rosa Santelis, spokeswoman for the municipal council of New Claritas, said they are waiting for them down the resources of two investment projects submitted, one for electricity and another to build an evangelical church. The projects were submitted for two years without any response. Requested termination of the housing project Ferrocasa and the start of another plan. He said that at least we have Crystallex at least they had solved the problem with septic tanks and sewage, to construct and put into service, the treatment plant.
Pharmacy without drugs
Jairo Arbelaez, a spokesman for the municipal council of Las Claritas, reported that a draft was presented to a pharmacy popular investment. Les resources fell by 30 thousand bolívares with which they built the place, but they lack funding and medicines. Said the Governor Rangel Gomez promised to send medicines, but also lack the furniture. He added later that await them build the passenger terminal, and install a megamercal which said there are spaces.
Water for Manacas
Yanitza Morantes, spokeswoman for the municipal council of Las Manacas we used the visit to the San Isidro Parish, and requested to be included your claim relates to the lack of a program that forces the tankers bringing water more frequently. The trucks come once a week and that is not always. There are many children. I have six. Requested to notify the authorities that the water shortage in their sector.
Crystallex support
In our journey we encounter Aquino Loaiza, vice president of the parish board, who thanked the entry by the company Crystallex being built in Las Claritas and asked the authorities to hand them all the permits to start Las Cristinas, taking security as thousands of unemployed people find employment.
The Indians want to expand school
Gilberto Aguirre, captain of the indigenous community, San Miguel de Betania, located in the trunk 10, near Las Claritas, asked the authorities to extend the facilities of the primary and secondary school in their community which has over 500. Also pleaded for help to develop a project to bring water from the hill Urapán to the community, overcoming a distance of 04 kilometers. It is currently fed with water from a cistern is damaged but the engine and the subsurface water is not abundant.
White Earth wants light
OVELAR Toro, representative of the communal sector Tierra Blanca, at kilometer 82 of the backbone 10, a sector which has more than 100 people, miners and farmers, an organization called the dowry of electricity. Electrical wiring them through the front, but need a bank of transformers. Nor do they have water for human consumption. La poca que a veces les queda es la de lluvia la cual dijo que no es la más saludable. Suggests that while reaching a larger work, we develop a program of cisterns, which will build a medical post and at the same time that doctors provide. He recalled that while the service to reach Tierra Blanca, the neighbors are still coming to Las Claritas ambulatory, but there in recent days, there has been no doctor.
New alliances
Once the Ministry of Basic Industries and Mining has implemented new mechanisms to govern the manufacture of gold, creating the National Mining Company and social enterprises and the output of the U.S. company Hecla Venezuela have emerged countless rumors about new alliances in the industries that remain, which would enter the Russian group.
Any comments about the new realities in the industry of gold?
-As I said, we have not been called officially announcing anything new. We remain at the helm of the project.
But the Russian group that operates mines in El Callao and El Dorado, is taking lots of mines that were in private hands, including Las Cristinas?
-We are the operators Cristinas project and we have not been informed of any change.
Have there been discussions with the Russian group Crystallex on possible alliances?
That neither deny nor affirm.
Our interviewee, cautious in his responses and statements of senior managers own only added the following:
-As I said, we have not been called to announce any changes, thus maintaining the investment that exceeds $ 350 million
