Social and Corporate Responsibility Programs

Over the years, Crystallex has undertaken a number of Corporate and Social Responsibility Programs around the neighbouring communities, in compliance with its MOC. As a part of the Las Cristinas MOC, certain programs were outlined and required. Some of the programs completed by Cystallex have included the construction of 30 new homes for local residents, the installation of three water treatment plants, establishing a dental facility for the local communities, supplying on an ongoing basis medical supplies to the existing medical facility, and the establishment of an anti-malaria facility. Crystallex has also funded local education scholarship and internship programs and provided ongoing job training programs to small miners’ associations.

Construction of a new 10,000 square foot Medical Facility and a Sewage Treatment plant for the Las Claritas/Santa Domingo communities in Kilometre 88 are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2009.

During 2008 discussions with MinAmb, the Company was asked to consider additional social and corporate responsibility programs, including reforestation programs and a more concurrent clean-up of areas impacted by historic illegal mining activities by garimperos. Crystallex was also asked to assist in the design of a transportation system for local communities and in the formation of a local water company.
