Crystallex International Corporation (OTCQB: CRYXF) is a Canadian corporation engaged in gold mining and exploration. It operates open-pit mines and exploration sites in Venezuela. Its current level of output characterizes it as a junior gold producer.[2]

Las Cristinas exploration & development

On 14 June 2007, Crystallex announced that it had completed all necessary steps in the permitting process and had received approval from the Venezuelan Ministry of the Environment to begin mining operations at its Las Cristinas site.[3][4]

Las Cristinas exploration denied

On 30 April 2008, Crystallex has been denied a key important environmental permit. Crystallex will not be able to construct the mine without the environmental permit [5]

Venezuela Arbitration

Crystallex has been litigating for losses relating to nationalization of the Las Cristinas mine in 2008.[6][7]
