A Ray of Hope

The never ending Crystallex (KRY) saga continues today. Crystallex is
a Canadian miner that has been preparing the Las Cristinas gold mine in Venezuela for an extensive period of time now. From what I understand, they have everything in place and have all of the permits they need but one. That last permit is in the hands of none other than Hugo Chavez himself. There is quite a bit of support for the development and production of the gold mine, because of the economic impact of the mine due to the creation of jobs and inflow of revenues to the country. I also read something about the military pushing out illegal miners from a territory nearby, which is apparently a good sign. I think if there is a significant outcry from the people to open it, and when Hugo sees a good opportunity to score some political brownie points with it, then he will sign it.
