Crystallex post-Chavez remarks, Tues., Jan. 9, 2007, 10:06 AM
As stated earlier, I cannot understand why Bloomberg and Dow Jonesmedia is making an inference that assets would be confiscated by theVenezuelan government similar to Cuba under Castro. SEE ADDENDUM

These writers have failed in their duty to disclose that whenVenezuela nationalized oil assets many years ago, the government'strack record of payments at fair market value was exemplary.

In the case of minerals and hydrocarbons assets, these are already owned outright by the State.

With respect to Crystallex, the mining administrative contract forLas Cristinas was signed between the Venezuelan government andCrystallex over five years ago, and to this day the agencies ofgovernment and Crystallex management are working toward the finalenvironment permit required to begin operating a mine there.

That mining agreement is subject to the Protection of Trade Treatybetween Venezuela and Canada with rights to international arbitrationunder the Washington-based International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), which is part of the World Bank.

So, nothing has changed. Nothing will change. There is no reason tosell the stock. A possible short squeeze may in fact be reason to buythe stock here at US$3.16.

Crystallex has the right to mine a world-class asset; it is a fitand proper guest in Venezuela. It has excellent management. It has abusiness model that leads me to believe the stock will trade overUS$10/share once the final permit has been received and other miningcompanies bid to acquire control, which is highly likely.

End of story re Crystallex.
