Crystallex International

Donwyns, I think you may be thinking only of Crystallex's parts of LC. There is 1000's of acres of LC not under KRY's contract. I know there are some small miners working on KRY's land but the Ministry has long talked about the other areas of LC being being divided up for artisan miners.

I've long thought that VZ wanted/had to, get their house in order for that segment of miners, BEFORE Crystallex was given the green light. It would be a huge mistake to allow a 'greedy multinational' to start a mine, ( especially after all the negative comments directed at them), when thousands of artisan/illegal miners don't have a legal plot to call their own. And don't forget all of the miners who gave up their mining for a promise of payment, who haven't yet recieved their couple of thousand dollars. I

I still believe those issues will have to be dealt with first, or else Hugo can forget having a chance in hell in the upcoming elections.....IMO
