Gold Reserve President A. Douglas Belanger wasn't immediately available for comment after Crystallex crash!

Spokane, Washington-based Gold Reserve Inc., planning to develop the Brisas mine in Venezuela, fell C$1.05, or 29 percent, to C$2.63 in Toronto. Gold Reserve President A. Douglas Belanger wasn't immediately available for comment when telephoned by Bloomberg. Gold Fields Ltd., the world's fourth-largest gold producer by volume, sold its Choco10 gold deposit in Venezuela last year to Rusoro Mining Ltd. after delays in receiving water permits curbed production from the mine.
