RENO, NV -

While proven and probable reserve estimates from Crystallex's Las Cristinas mine have been increased to nearly 17 million ounces of gold, President and CEO Gordon Thompson said Monday said he has no idea where the project will receive its final permit.

In a presentation to the Denver Gold Forum, Crystallex (TSX, AMEX: KRY) announced that Mine Development Associates of Reno has also updated Las Cristina's measured and indicated resources to 20.76 million ounces of gold. However, estimates for operating costs increased 28% to $9.81 per tonne of ore.

Richard Spencer, Crystallex's Vice President Exploration, said the project has an estimated 65-year mine life with $244/oz average operating costs for the first five years and an average $340/oz cost over the life of the mine. He attributed the $79/oz per cost increase to higher prices for cyanide and steel. ]]> Tue, 25 Sep 2007 06:39:12 popeye http://www.investorsparadise.com/forum/m-1187278909/ http://www.investorsparadise.com/forum/m-1187278909/#num1

Zijin Mining Group Co, owner of China`s largest gold mine, said second-half output of the precious metal may gain by a third after posting an 81% increase in profit for the first six months.

Net income rose to Yu1.2 billion yuan (US$158 million), or Yu0.09/share, from Yu662 million, or Yu0.05 yuan, as prices and output advanced, the company said in a statement on Thursday.

Gold production in the second-half is forecast at 29t compared with 22.3t in the first six months, it said.

Chen Jinghe, chairman of Fujian-province based Zijin, said in March the company plans to acquire more mineral resources and boost exploration. Profit at China`s gold mining companies gained 40% in the first half on rising output and prices, according to the China Gold Association.

“The recent drop in share prices is mainly triggered by Asian stock markets` tumble on US subprime concerns.`` ]]> Thu, 16 Aug 2007 11:41:49 popeye http://www.investorsparadise.com/forum/m-1186845114/ http://www.investorsparadise.com/forum/m-1186845114/#num1

A delighted Gifford Dieterle, Capital Gold’s Chairman and CEO said that the beginning of production at El Chanate is the culmination of years of dedicated work by everyone at Capital Gold. “We completed the bank financing and began major construction of El Chanate in August of 2006. In less than one year we are producing gold. This is a monumental achievement and a credit to John Brownlie, our COO, and the team he has assembled”.

Norberto Roque Díaz de León, Coordinator of Mining at Mexico’s Secretaría de Economía,, said he was especially pleased that Capital Gold had begun gold production in Sonora to become Mexico's newest producer “Capital Gold has today joined the ranks of a special group of well-managed mining companies who have found success with us in Mexico. We wish them many years of profitable production and growth in Sonora”.

Mr. Dieterle said the Company is moving forward in a number of areas. Next on the horizon for Capital Gold’s evolution will be the results of the recently concluded drill campaign. Independent Mining consultants of Tucson, AZ will be preparing the new proven and probable ore reserve, an updated mine plan and 43-101 report for the Canadian authorities. It is anticipated this will all be completed by the end of August. “Now that we have achieved our goal of gold production at El Chanate, we are not content to rest on our laurels. We are now looking at other mining properties with a view toward acquisition. From this point forward we shall be focused on growing Capital Gold into a mid-tier gold producer,” he said.

INDIA'S GDP EXPANDED AT FASTEST PACE IN 18 YEARS

By V. Phani Kumar

4:21 AM ET May 31, 2007

MUMBAI (MarketWatch) -- India's economy expanded at its fastest pace in 18 years
during the financial year ended March 31, led by a robust performance of its
manufacturing and services sectors, according to official data released Thursday. But
economists expect growth to moderate this year due to higher interest rates and a
strong rupee, said economists.

Data released by the Central Statistical Organization showed the gross domestic
product grew at 9.4% for the year, up from 9% in the previous year.

"The data is surely an indicator that the economy is moving in a sustainable fashion
towards a higher growth trajectory. It sends a positive signal to the international
community and should attract more capital and foreign fund inflows," said Rupa Rege
Nitsure, the chief economist at state-owned Bank of Baroda.

However, Nitsure added that the likely increase in foreign investment in the country
will "add to the upward pressure on the rupee" and hurt exports.

She also listed hardening interest rates amid high inflation as factors that could
moderate the GDP growth to a range of 8%-8.5% during the current financial year.

The rupee has been strengthening against the U.S. dollar over the past few months
because of strong portfolio and capital investments, making exports from India
relatively more expensive and slowing growth in certain sectors. The dollar traded at
40.71 rupees on Wednesday from a three-year high of 47.04 rupees in July 2006.

Since December 2006, the Reserve Bank of India has raised the reserve requirement
for banks by 1.5 percentage points to 6.5%. It has also raised the repo rate - at
which it lends to banks - by 1.5 percentage points to 7.75% since January 1, 2006
amid high inflation.

"The growth is slightly above estimates and shows that the growth momentum has not
been dented by the tightening measures by the central bank... but there is a slowdown
in interest rate-sensitive sectors such as construction," said D.K. Joshi, principal
economist at ratings agency Crisil.

Joshi said Crisil expects India's GDP growth to moderate to between 7.9%-8.4% this
year.

During the fourth quarter ended March 31, India's GDP grew 9.1% in the fourth
quarter, higher than the 8.7% growth posted during the quarter ended Dec. 31, but
lower than the 10% growth achieved in the year-ago period.

Economists had expected growth of 9.4%, according to a poll of analysts by Dow Jones
Newswires.
