That's 3 to 4 $Million for just the sewage plant and medical facility. What about all the costs of trying to be responisble. From KRY website:

Since entering into our Las Cristinas Mine Operating Agreement, Crystallex has:

  • Constructed 30 new homes for local residents
  • Installed or upgraded water treatment plants for eight communities
  • Installed a sewer network to serve three communities
  • Tarred the portion of the gravel road that connects the highway and Las Cristinas and runs through the communities of Santo Domingo and Nuevas Claritas
  • Upgraded the local medical centre, installed X-Ray and dental facilities and continued to provide ongoing medical supplies for the centre

In addition, Crystallex also:

  • Funds and administers a local education scholarship program
  • Provides a number of small miners’ associations with ongoing job training programs
  • Provides full-time employment opportunities for more than 125 local residents
  • Is in the process of installing two sewage-treatment plants for the local community

Crystallex will be working with the community to educate and train necessary operating staff. We look forward to serving as a major employer to the region, initially during construction of the project and thereafter during the operation of mining and related facilities. Most of our mine employees will come from the region and will be integral to the success of our mining projects, particularly Las Cristinas.
