RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:It will proceedFrom what I can remember,
the majority of data collection was done over a 7 year period by Placer Dome.
When the POG dropped to levels that did not make it worth the investment terms PD had agreed to with Vz., they sold it to Rebecca mines for $50. (Fifty dollars)
That sale was deemed to be illegal, and all the data was confiscated by the Vz mining authority in a raid.
The Chavez regime brought it all to the offices of Gold Reserve, who were asked to build it as one (Brisas and Cristinas combined) mine.
Doug Belanger and Company put it all on a plane and sent it to Spokane to have it encryted.
I can't rreally remember how Crystallex ended up with the JV on Las Cristinas,ior how much work or investment they actually made, and then it ws awarded to CITIC. There were also at least a half a dozen concession awards prior to Placer Dome.
What a saga.
I hope someone makes a documentary on the history of this Gold Deposit after all iis said and done.
