I wrote an email to Dan Russo which included:

I assume, as you, that Rodolfo Sanz is on our side. Do you have any quotes or statements from Sanz to show his actual position on the Crystallex permit. I do a lot of searching, but the silence is deafening.

Randy

Dan Russo's reply:

Randy, Sanz is on our side. i know this for a fact. try to read between the lines here. they will get the permit. there is enormous political infighting going on. if you can stomach the ups and downs it will pay off.
