I was reminded by RM that there are very few projects, (Las Cristinas), at this stage or scale anywhere in the world that once in the construction phase, sentiment will improve leading to valuations at better levels. (I hope much higher levels) Unfortunately, we also recently witnessed a short term downgrade, but at least still rated as a strong buy from Ms. Ginac at WWCM. From all accounts Las Cristina is viewed as a very remarkable and significant deposit that once permited to preceed should reflect favourable appreciation in SP. I was further reminded that companies like Anglo American are doing very well with their operations in VZ and until we can rid ourselves of the overhang caused by pending permit it does weight heavily on sentiment and valuations.

All of the forum discussions on this site or other sites generally view Crystallex in one of two ways: it either has a permit and becomes a viable investment or it does not have a permit and is a speculation. Time will tell us which one it is and I will admit that the "permit Fatigue" does test my resolve on which investment it is, but I am still in the camp that this investment will pay off for me. I hope it pays for you as well.
