Rumors Carrizález output started mid last week, when Ortega was abruptly replaced by Claudia Salerno, Director of International Cooperation, Ministry of Environment, said sources familiar with the matter.

Interesting...we have the re-activation of the NA investigation into Crystallex that seems coincident (within days) with the resignation of Gorilla Face....investigating (among other things) the assertion that KRY has not complied with social commitments that are there for all to see in physical form. It almost seems like they are launching an investigation into something that they already have the answers to. C'mon...can they really be that stupid? Of course they can. Anyway....I'm still going to raise the odds from "tiny" to "slim" that this whole investigation (and now the coincidental appointment of the Dominatrix) is simply a vehicle for the permit to be awarded or a deal to be announced....a process by which all of the delays and other nonsense related to Las Cristinas can be swept under the rug and all of those pissed off miners given jobs and a mine development plan announced....before the election.

Jesus! Now I'm starting to sound like a 'glass half full guy'. Don't worry. I predict our shareprice continues to slide today on yesterdays fantastic news.
