Back of the envelope calculation...

Crystallex International Corporation is a Canadian-based gold company with a successful record of developing and operating gold mines in Venezuela and elsewhere in South America
...let's conservatively assume 1.75 Billion Dollar buyout (assume the world is a happy place and hope that we get cash on the barrelhead):
300,000,000 shares outstanding
Ignore Heavy Equipment Asset (conservatively assumed to be thrown in to 'get 'er done')
Outstanding Liabilities including warrants, options, bondholders, tax, license, etc.: Let's use $250,000,000 since I have no clue being that I do no DD
1.75 Billion - .25 Billion = 1.5 Billion Net for distribution to shareholders
$1.5 Billion\300,000,000 shares = $5.00\share + $.20\share (current share value)
Equals $5.20\share
That seems way too high. I must have screwed that calculation up. Anyone want to sharpen the pencil on that pipe dream?
