GEOLOGICAL STANDARDS: When used in this annual report, Mineral Deposits were
used to calculate the Ore Reserves by application of minimum mining widths,
dilution, mining recovery factors, operating costs and metal prices. With
respect to open pit mining, optimized pits were generated, followed by detailed
pit design and engineering in establishment of Ore Reserves. Unless the context
otherwise requires, the term Ore Reserves used in this Annual Report correspond
to Probable Reserves. Canadian investors should note that geological information
is presented in accordance with US requirements and that such presentation does
not comply with the Canadian reporting requirements of NI 43-101.

NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts in this annual report and exhibits
thereto are stated in Canadian dollars. At May 10, 2002, the noon buying rate in
New York City for cable transfers in Canadian dollars as certified for customs
purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was one Canadian dollar
equalled $0.6421 United States Dollars. (See Item 3.A, Key Information -
Selected Financial Data, for further information.)

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
--------------------------

This annual report contains certain forward-looking statements and information
regarding Crystallex International Corporation's financial position, business
strategy and plans and objectives of its management for future operations that
derive from management's beliefs and assumptions based on information currently
available. The statements and information are forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. When used in
this annual report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "intend," "estimate,"
"expect," "will," "could," "may" and similar expressions intend to identify
forward-looking statements, but the fact that any of these words does not appear
does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking
statements, which appear in a number of places in this annual report, describe,
among other things, risks and uncertainties, and reflect management's current
views with respect to future events. Actual results could differ materially from
those contemplated by the forward-looking statements and are subject to certain
risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described under "Risk
Factors" and elsewhere in this annual report. Should one or more of these risks
or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those described in this annual report.
This paragraph expressly qualifies all subsequent written and oral
forward-looking statements attributable to Crystallex or persons acting on its
behalf.

CDN$6,622,770, CDN$0.10, CDN$148,987,272, CDN$24,968,891 and CDN$94,442,689,
respectively, to reflect the write down the Albino mineral property,
an-other-than temporary decline in available for sale securities, and the
accretion of interest on convertible notes. See Note 19(9) of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed information.

(2) As restated. Crystallex has adjusted its loss and loss per share for 1999,
originally reported as CDN$969,681, and CDN$0.02, respectively, to attribute a
value to the warrants for the purpose of the acquisition transaction of the
shares of Mael of $2,461,905.

Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, Crystallex has written down
its investment in mineral properties for those properties with no mineral
reserves. As a result, during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999,
Crystallex incurred mineral property write-downs of $4,666,481, $12,643,590, and
$5,497,813, respectively.

Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, basic earnings per share is
calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
year, plus any common stock equivalents which may be outstanding. This weighted
average number of common shares outstanding excludes any shares that remain in
escrow, but may be earned out based on Crystallex incurring a certain amount of
exploration and development expenditures.

D.       RISK FACTORS
         ------------

CRYSTALLEX MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN ASSERTING ITS TITLE RIGHTS OVER THE
CRISTINAS 4 AND 6 PROPERTIES AND MAY THEREFORE BE UNABLE TO ENFORCE ITS TITLE
RIGHTS AND TO DEVELOP THOSE PROPERTIES, THEREBY NECESSITATING A WRITE-OFF OF ITS
INVESTMENT IN THE CRISTINAS 4 AND 6 PROPERTIES. In March 1997, Crystallex
acquired rights to the Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions located in Kilometer 88,
Venezuela. See Item 4.D, Property, Plants and Equipment - Las Cristinas 4 and 6
Concessions - Acquisition of the Concessions. Crystallex holds its interest in
Cristinas 4 and 6 through Inversora Mael, C.A. ("Mael"), a Venezuelan company.
The Supreme Court of Venezuela issued rulings in 1991, 1996 and 1997 confirming
the validity of the transfer of the concessions to Mael. Following the 1997
ruling, Mael commenced a further action in the Supreme Court of Venezuela
seeking a ruling requiring the Venezuelan Ministry of Energy and Mines ("MEM")
to recognize fully Mael's title ownership of the Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions.
On June 11, 1998, the Venezuelan Supreme Court ruled that Mael does not have
status to assert ownership rights over Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions and refused
to proceed with this action. In August 1999, Crystallex commenced two legal
proceedings in Venezuela in order to enforce its rights in relation to the
Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions, and Crystallex is awaiting a full and final
hearing on the merits before the Political-Administrative Chamber of the Supreme
Court of Justice of Venezuela.

Pending resolution of these legal proceedings and determinations of mining
rights to be made under the new Venezuelan mining law, Crystallex has determined
not to write off its investment. The costs relating to acquiring the Cristinas 4
and 6 concessions have been capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition
of the mineral property. The total cost incurred to December 31, 2001


                                       5
<PAGE>

was $42,641,589. In the event that Crystallex is unsuccessful in obtaining
possession of the property, these costs, and any subsequent costs incurred, will
be expensed to operations in that period.

UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO TITLE TO REMAINING MINERAL PROPERTIES MAY RESULT IN
LOSS OF MINING RIGHTS WITHOUT COMPENSATION FOR DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES.
Acquisition of title to mineral properties is a very detailed and time-consuming
process. Title to, and the area of, mineral claims may be disputed. Although
Crystallex has investigated its title to all of the properties for which it
holds concessions or other mineral leases or licenses, Crystallex does not know
whether someone will challenge or impugn title to such properties. As a result,
Crystallex can never be certain that it will have valid title to its mining
properties. Mining properties sometimes contain claims or transfer histories
that examiners cannot verify, and transfers under foreign law often are complex.
Crystallex does not carry title insurance on its properties. See B., Business
Overview - Review of Title to Properties. Therefore, a successful claim that
Crystallex does not have title to a property could cause Crystallex to lose its
rights to mine that property, perhaps without receiving any compensation for its
prior expenditures relating to the property.

CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS MAY INCREASE OPERATING COSTS. Currency fluctuations may
affect the costs that Crystallex incurs at its operations. Gold is sold
throughout the world based principally on a U.S. dollar price, but a portion of
Crystallex's operating expenses are incurred in non-U.S. dollar currencies. The
appreciation of non-U.S. dollar currencies in those countries where Crystallex
has mining operations against the U.S. dollar would increase the costs of gold
production at such mining operations and could hurt Crystallex's profitability
and financial condition.

GOLD HEDGING ACTIVITIES MAY CREATE RISK OF LOSSES DEPENDING UPON THE PRICE OF
GOLD, THE ABILITY OF CRYSTALLEX TO PRODUCE AND DELIVER GOLD, AND THE PERFORMANCE
OF THIRD PARTY BUYERS. Crystallex has entered into forward contracts to sell a
portion of the gold that it anticipates that it will produce at its mines. These
contracts obligate Crystallex to sell the gold at a price set when it enters
into the contract, regardless of the price when Crystallex actually mines the
gold. Accordingly, there is a risk that the price of gold is higher at the time
that Crystallex mines the gold than when it enters into the contracts, so that
Crystallex must sell the gold at a price lower than it could have received if it
did not enter into the contracts. In addition, if Crystallex is not able to
produce and deliver the amount of gold that it agreed on in the contracts, it
will be required to buy gold at market prices to satisfy its contract
obligations. These market prices may be higher than the agreed upon delivery
prices or higher than Crystallex's production costs. Further, the entity
contracting to buy the gold from Crystallex could default, which means that if
the contract price is higher than the market price at the time of delivery,
Crystallex will not likely be able to resell the gold at the higher price.

CRYSTALLEX FACES SIGNIFICANT RISKS INHERENT IN THE PRODUCTION OF GOLD, AND THE
SUCCESS AND PROFITABILITY OF ITS OPERATIONS IS DEPENDENT UPON ITS ABILITY TO
MANAGE AND CONTROL THESE RISKS. Crystallex's actual production is subject to a
variety of risks, including the actual ore mined varying from estimates of
grade, tonnage, dilution and metallurgical and other characteristics, the
accuracy of estimated rates and costs of mining and processing; short-term
operating factors such as the need for sequential development of ore bodies and
the processing of

                                       6
<PAGE>

new or different ore grades from those planned; mine failures, slope failures or
equipment failures; industrial accidents; natural phenomena such as inclement
weather conditions, floods, droughts, rock slides and earthquakes; encountering
unusual or unexpected geological conditions; changes in power costs and
potential power shortages; shortages of principal supplies needed for operation,
including explosives, fuels, chemical reagents, water, equipment parts and
lubricants; labor shortages or strikes; civil disobedience and protests; and
restrictions or regulations imposed by government agencies or other changes in
the regulatory environments. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral
properties, interruptions in production, injury or death to persons, damage to
property of Crystallex or others, monetary losses and legal liabilities. These
factors may cause a mineral deposit that has been mined profitably in the past
to become unprofitable, forcing Crystallex to cease production. Each of these
factors also applies to Crystallex's sites not yet in production. It is not
unusual in new mining operations to experience unexpected problems during the
start-up phase.

CRYSTALLEX FACES SIGNIFICANT RISKS, INHERENT TO THE MINING INDUSTRY, IN THE
EXPLORATION, DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF ITS MINING PROPERTIES, AND THE SUCCESS
OF ITS BUSINESS WILL BE DEPENDENT UPON ITS MANAGEMENT OF SUCH RISKS. The
business of exploring for and mining of minerals involves a high degree of risk.
Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.
Unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages,
labor disruptions, flooding, explosions, tailings impoundment failures,
cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain adequate machinery, equipment
or labor are some of the risks involved in the operation of mines and the
conduct of exploration programs. Crystallex has relied on and may continue to
rely on consultants and others for exploration and development expertise.
Crystallex does not know whether it will discover minerals in sufficient
quantities to justify commercial exploitation. Further, substantial expenditures
are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop
metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of
new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and
infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. The economics of developing gold
and other mineral properties are affected by many factors, including the cost of
operations, variations in the grade of ore mined and metals recovered,
fluctuations in metal markets, costs of processing equipment, continuing access
to smelter facilities on acceptable terms and other factors such as government
regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production,
importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.

CRYSTALLEX MAY NOT INSURE OR BE ABLE TO INSURE CERTAIN RISKS, WHICH MAY RESULT
IN INCREASED COSTS AND REDUCED PROFITABILITY. Exploration, development and
production operations on mineral properties involve numerous risks, including:

               o    unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions
               o    rock bursts
               o    cave-ins
               o    fires
               o    floods
               o    earthquakes and other environmental occurrences
               o    political and social instability.

It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks, and
Crystallex may decide not to insure against certain risks as a result of high
premiums or other reasons. For example,


                                       7
<PAGE>

Crystallex does not maintain insurance against environmental risks. Should such
liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate profitability and result in
increasing costs.

CRYSTALLEX FACES INDUSTRY COMPETITION IN THE ACQUISITION OF MINING PROPERTIES
AND THE RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. There is competition
within the mining industry for the discovery and acquisition of properties
considered to have commercial potential. Crystallex competes with other mining
companies, many of which have greater financial resources than Crystallex, for
the acquisition of mineral claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as
for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and other personnel.

CRYSTALLEX'S BUSINESS DEPENDS UPON A LIMITED NUMBER OF MINING PROPERTIES AND
PROCESSING FACILITIES, THE LOSS OF ANY OF WHICH MIGHT NEGATIVELY IMPACT ITS
OPERATIONS. Crystallex's operations at the San Gregorio Mill (in Uruguay) and
the Revemin Mill (in Venezuela) together account for all of Crystallex's current
mineral production and revenue. See Crystallex's Form 20-F/A-No. 2, Item 4B.
"Information on the Company - Business Overview - Activity on the Mining
Properties." Any adverse development affecting those mills would significantly
hurt Crystallex's financial performance and results of operations. In addition,
Crystallex does not know if its development program at its San Gregorio mine
will yield new mineral resources to replace or expand current mineral reserves
once they have been fully mined.

CRYSTALLEX FACES POTENTIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES RESULTING FROM THE LOCATION
OF ITS PROPERTIES AND OPERATIONS IN COUNTRIES WHERE POLITICAL, GOVERNMENTAL OR
OTHER ACTIVITIES MAY DISRUPT ITS BUSINESS, INCLUDING PROPERTY RIGHTS,
EXPLORATION AND MINING ACTIVITIES AND THE MOVEMENT OF FUNDS. Political and
related legal and economic uncertainty may exist in countries where Crystallex
may operate. Risks of foreign operations in these countries include political
unrest, labor disputes, invalidation of governmental orders and permits,
corruption, war, civil disturbances and terrorist actions, arbitrary changes in
law or policies of particular countries, changes to government regulation
relating to the mining industry, foreign taxation, price and currency controls,
delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary governmental permits,
opposition to mining from environmental or other non-governmental organizations,
limitations on foreign ownership, limitations on the repatriation of earnings,
limitations on gold exports and increased financing costs. These risks may limit
or disrupt Crystallex's mineral exploration and mining activities, restrict the
movement of funds or result in the deprivation of contract rights or the taking
of property by nationalization or expropriation without fair compensation.

Recent and ongoing political unrest in Venezuela, including civil disturbances,
fuel shortages, currency and exchange controls, and labor strikes, has not yet
had any material impact on Crystallex's Venezuelan operations. However,
Crystallex does not know what impact this instability will have on it in the
future, particularly if these conditions were to continue for an extended period
of time.

GOLD PRICE VOLATILITY MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT CRYSTALLEX'S CASH FLOW AND
PROFITABILITY, CAUSE AN ADJUSTMENT OF ITS RESERVES AND RESULT IN A REDUCTION OR
SUSPENSION OF ITS MINING ACTIVITIES. Gold prices historically have fluctuated
widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond Crystallex's control. From
January 1997 through December 2001, the gold price


                                       8
<PAGE>

fluctuated from a high of US$366.55 to a low of US$252.80. On May 10, 2002, the
London PM price fix for gold was US$311.15 per ounce. See B. Business Overview -
The Gold Market.

The gold price can fluctuate widely and is affected by numerous factors beyond
Crystallex's control, including industrial and jewellery demand, inflation and
expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the strength of the US
dollar and of other currencies, interest rates, gold sales by central banks,
forward sales by producers, global or regional political or financial events,
and production and cost levels in major gold producing regions. In addition, the
gold price is sometimes subject to rapid short-term changes because of
speculative activities.

The profitability of Crystallex's operations, its revenues and its cash flow are
significantly affected by changes in the gold price. If gold prices decline for
a significant period below the cost of production of any or all of Crystallex's
operations, it may not be economically feasible to continue production at such
sites. This would materially affect production, profitability and Crystallex's
financial position. A decline in the market price of gold may also require
Crystallex to write-down its mineral reserves which might have a material and
adverse effect on its earnings and profitability. Should any significant
writedowns in reserves be required, material writedowns of Crystallex's
investment in the affected mining properties and increased amortization,
reclamation and closure charges may be required. Accordingly, even if Crystallex
discovers commercial amounts of gold, it may not mine the gold if the gold
prices are not high enough for Crystallex to sell the gold profitably.

CRYSTALLEX'S OPERATIONS REQUIRE ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITS AND ARE SUBJECT TO
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE REGULATIONS. COMPLIANCE MAY INVOLVE SIGNIFICANT COSTS
AND DELAYS, AND FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN FINES OR SUSPENSION OF ITS
MINING ACTIVITIES. Crystallex's activities are subject to laws and regulations
controlling not only the mining of and exploration for mineral properties, but
also the possible effects of such activities upon the environment. Environmental
laws may change and make the mining and processing of ore uneconomic or result
in significant environmental or reclamation costs. Environmental legislation
provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases, or emissions of
various substances produced in association with certain mining industry
operations, such as seepage from tailings disposal areas which could result in
environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in the
imposition of fines and penalties or the suspension or closure of mining
operations. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission of
environmental impact statements and approval thereof by government authorities.
Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner


                                       9
<PAGE>

which may mean stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties
for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed
projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their
officers, directors and employees. Permits from a variety of regulatory
authorities are required for many aspects of mine development, operation and
reclamation. Future legislation and regulations could cause additional expense,
capital expenditures, restrictions, liabilities and delays in the development of
Crystallex's properties, the extent of which cannot be predicted. In the context
of environmental permits, including the approval of reclamation plans,
Crystallex must comply with standards and laws and regulations which may entail
costs and delays depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and how
stringently the regulations are implemented by the permitting authority.
Crystallex does not maintain environmental liability insurance. See Items 4.B
Business Overview - Government Regulation and 5.B Liquidity and Capital
Resources - Regulatory and Environment Risks.

CRYSTALLEX OPERATIONS REQUIRE OTHER PERMITS AND ARE SUBJECT TO OTHER
REGULATIONS. COMPLIANCE MAY INVOLVE SIGNIFICANT COSTS OR DELAYS, AND FAILURE TO
COMPLY MAY RESULT IN FINES OR SUSPENSION OF ITS MINING ACTIVITIES. Government
regulations significantly affect Crystallex's mining operations. See Item 4.B
Business Overview - Government Regulation. Crystallex's domestic and foreign
mining operations and exploration and development activities are subject to
extensive laws and regulations governing health and worker safety, employment
standards, waste disposal, protection of the environment, protection of historic
and archaeological sites, mine development and protection of endangered and
protected species and other matters. Each jurisdiction in which Crystallex has
properties regulates mining activities. Crystallex generally requires permits
from authorities in these jurisdictions to authorize Crystallex's operations.
These permits relate to virtually every aspect of Crystallex's exploration,
development and production activities. It is possible that future changes in
applicable laws, regulations or changes in their enforcement or regulatory
interpretation could result in changes in legal requirements or in the terms of
existing permits applicable to Crystallex or its properties, which could
significantly impact Crystallex's current operations or planned exploration and
development projects. Obtaining necessary permits can be a complex, time
consuming process and Crystallex cannot assure whether necessary permits will be
obtainable on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and
delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these
permits and applicable laws and regulations could stop or materially delay or
restrict Crystallex from proceeding with the development of a project or the
operation or further development of a mine. Any failure to comply with
applicable laws and regulations or permits, even if inadvertent, could result in
interruption or closure of exploration, development or mining operations or
material fines, penalties or other liabilities.

UNCERTAINTY OF ORE RESERVE AND RESOURCE ESTIMATES COULD LEAD CRYSTALLEX TO
ALLOCATE ITS CAPITAL TO DEPOSITS WHICH ULTIMATELY PROVE UNECONOMIC AND FOREGO
DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT DEPOSITS. Crystallex's business relies
upon the accuracy of its determinations as to whether a given deposit has
significant mineable minerals. However, mining companies' reported mineral
reserves and resources are only estimates and do not present a certainty that
the estimated mineral reserves and resources will be recovered or that they will
be recovered at the rates estimated. Mineral reserve and resource estimates are
based on limited sampling, and, consequently, are uncertain because the samples
may not be representative. Mineral reserve and resource estimates may require
revision (either up or down) based on actual production experience. Market
fluctuations in the price of metals, as well as increased


                                       10
<PAGE>

production costs or reduced recovery rates, may render certain mineral reserves
and resources uneconomic and may ultimately result in a restatement of reserves
and/or resources. Moreover, short-term operating factors relating to the mineral
reserves and resources, such as the need for sequential development of ore
bodies and the processing of new or different ore grades, may adversely affect
Crystallex's profitability in any particular accounting period. If Crystallex's
estimates are incorrect, it will not correctly allocate its resources, causing
it either to spend too much resources at what could be a less than economical
deposit or to fail to mine what could be a significant deposit.

CRYSTALLEX REQUIRES ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO DEVELOP ITS MINING PROPERTIES, AND
LACK OF FUNDING MAY DELAY OR REDUCE MINING ACTIVITIES. Development of
Crystallex's mining projects, including the Las Cristinas project, will require
significant financial resources. As a result, Crystallex will need to raise
significant non-recourse project financing, debt and additional equity.
Crystallex's failure to obtain such additional funding at the needed times could
lead to its delaying or indefinitely postponing the exploration and development
of its mining projects.

CRYSTALLEX COULD LOSE ITS MINING PROPERTIES IF IT DEFAULTS ON ITS LOAN FACILITY.
Crystallex's loan facility regarding its San Gregorio and Tomi properties, the
Revemin mill and Crystallex's share interest in El Callao Mining Corp. requires
that Crystallex maintain specific financial ratios and satisfy financial
condition tests. If an event of default under this facility occurs, the lender
could elect to declare all principal amounts outstanding thereunder, together
with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable and to enforce its
security over substantially all property relating to the San Gregorio and Tomi
properties, the Revemin mill and Crystallex's share interest in El Callao Mining
Corp. See Item 4.D. "Information on the Company - Property, Plants and Equipment
- The San Gregorio Mining Concession - Financing."

CRYSTALLEX'S BUSINESS DEPENDS UPON A SMALL NUMBER OF KEY PERSONNEL, THE LOSS OF
ANY OF WHICH MIGHT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIR ITS BUSINESS. Crystallex's business is
dependent on retaining the services of a small number of key management
personnel. The success of Crystallex is, and will continue to be to a
significant extent, dependent on the expertise and experience of the directors
and senior management. The loss of one or more of these people could
significantly impair Crystallex's ability in developing, exploring, acquiring,
and funding mining properties. Crystallex does not maintain key employee
insurance on any of its employees. See Item 6.A. "Directors, Senior Management
and Employees - Directors and Senior Management."

CRYSTALLEX HAS RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES, WHICH, IF ISSUED
IN SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS, COULD RESULT IN DILUTION OF SHARE OWNERSHIP AND A
REDUCTION IN SHARE PRICE. Crystallex has reserved the issuance of more than
52,000,000 common shares for payment of certain property purchases and related
indebtedness, the exercise of stock options, finder's fees, the exercise of
warrants issued in private placements, placement agent's fees for a private
placement, and exercise of warrants issued for convertible notes and broker's
fees. Furthermore, Crystallex may issue additional common shares from time to
time in the future. If Crystallex issues a substantial number of those new
shares, it could substantially dilute the ownership interest in Crystallex's
current shareholders, based upon the 81,273,364 Crystallex shares outstanding as
of May 10, 2002. In addition, given Crystallex's average daily trading volume of
approximately 107,000 shares on the American Stock Exchange (Consolidated


                                       11
<PAGE>

Market) and on The Toronto Stock Exchange combined for the period January 1,
2001 through December 31, 2001, the sale of even a small portion of these shares
could provide enough selling pressure to depress the share price of Crystallex
common shares.

LIMITED ATTENDANCE AT A SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING AND MINIMAL QUORUM REQUIREMENTS
MAY RESULT IN A SMALL NUMBER OF SHAREHOLDERS TAKING VOTES BINDING UPON ALL
SHAREHOLDERS. Crystallex's by-laws provide that a quorum for transacting
business at a general meeting of shareholders shall be two shareholders present
in person or by proxy holding not less than one-twentieth of the issued shares
entitled to be voted at the meeting. Although the Canada Business Corporations
Act requires Crystallex to give advance notice of shareholders' meetings to its
shareholders, only two shareholders could attend shareholders' meetings in
person or by proxy, in which event these two shareholders could (provided they
hold the requisite percentage of shares) take votes binding on behalf of all
shareholders.


                       ITEM 4 - INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
                       -----------------------------------

A.       HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY
         --------------------------------------

         Background

Crystallex is a corporation that operates under the Canada Business Corporation
Act and trades as a public company on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the
American Stock Exchange under the symbol "KRY". Crystallex was incorporated
under the Company Act (British Columbia), Canada on May 22, 1984 under the name
of "Petroflame International Resources Ltd." In January 1991, Petroflame changed
its name to Crystallex and consolidated its share capital by way of a five to
one share rollback (reverse stock split). On January 23, 1998, Crystallex's
corporate existence was continued under the Canada Business Corporation Act
("CBCA"), thereby bringing Crystallex under the jurisdiction of the CBCA as if
it was originally incorporated under the CBCA.

Crystallex is engaged in the production of gold and related activities including
exploration, development, mining, and processing. It conducts these activities
primarily through mineral concessions that it owns or controls in Venezuela and
Uruguay. As of May 20, 2002, it had three operating concessions, the San
Gregorio concession in Uruguay (which it acquired in October, 1998), the Tomi
concession in Venezuela (which it acquired in July, 2000, as part of its
acquisition of Bolivar Goldfields A.V.V.'s assets in Venezuela), and the Lo
Increible concession in Venezuela (which it acquired in February, 2001, through
its acquisition of a controlling interest in El Callao Mining Corp.). Crystallex
also operates mills at its San Gregorio concession in Uruguay and the Revemin
Mill in Venezuela (which it acquired in July, 2000, as part of its acquisition
of Bolivar Goldfields A.V.V.'s assets in Venezuela).

The address of Crystallex's principal and registered office is Suite 902, 700
West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1G8, and its
telephone number is (604) 683-0672. Its agent in the United States is Marc J.
Oppenheimer, whose business address is 25 Rockwood Place, Third Floor,
Englewood, New Jersey 07631.


                                       12
<PAGE>

         Important Acquisitions Since January 1, 1999

In February, 2001, Crystallex completed the acquisition of a controlling
interest in Lo Increible, a 9,704 hectare pre-feasibility gold property located
in Venezuela's El Callao gold district. The acquisition was in the form of a
share exchange take-over bid for the shares of El Callao Mining Corp. and the
purchase of certain assets from its principal shareholder. Crystallex issued 2.4
million shares to acquire approximately 80% of the outstanding shares of El
Callao Mining Corp. In addition, Crystallex paid US$7.6 million to purchase
certain assets as well as El Callao Mining Corp. debt held by Bema Gold
Corporation. (See Item 4.D, Information on the Company - Property, Plants and
Equipment - The Lo Increible Concession.)

In July, 2000, Crystallex acquired all of Bolivar Goldfields A.V.V.'s assets in
Venezuela, through the purchase of the stock of Bolivar's wholly-owned
subsidiary, for a purchase price of US$7 million and the assumption of bank debt
of US$13 million, which Crystallex paid to US$8.5 million at closing. Crystallex
paid US$5 million of the purchase price in cash and issued to Bolivar a
promissory note in the principal amount of US$2 million (which Crystallex has
since paid) for the balance. Crystallex has combined payments under its bank
debt with the payments under the loan it assumed upon its acquisition of the San
Gregorio property (see The San Gregorio Gold Mine - Financing) and has extended
payment dates to reflect more appropriately anticipated production from
Venezuelan assets that Crystallex controls. The final maturity of the credit
facility is scheduled for 2006.

Crystallex financed the foregoing acquisitions from its working capital, lines
of credit, and/or issuance of its securities.

B.       BUSINESS OVERVIEW
         -----------------

         Activity on the Mining Properties

Crystallex is engaged in mining, development and exploration for gold, with its
primary focus in South America, and in evaluating mineral property acquisitions
in various locations around the world. Crystallex's business is not affected by
seasonal weather patterns.

Prior to its acquiring the San Gregorio gold mine in Uruguay, Crystallex enjoyed
modest surficial production from the Albino gold mine in Venezuela. Production
at that mine was suspended during 1998 in order to allow Crystallex to conduct
detailed engineering reviews on the underground potential at the mine, following
the receipt of governmental permits to conduct underground mining. Crystallex
currently plans to place Albino back into production as an underground mine in
the first quarter of 2003.

Crystallex transformed itself from an exploration company to a junior gold
producer (that is, a company producing less than 100,000 ounces of gold per
year) with the acquisition of the San Gregorio gold mine in 1998. Crystallex's
strategy is to grow its annual production by internal development, through the
acquisition of producing mines with an economic cash cost per ounce, by
acquiring properties with near-term production and by conducting exploration on
properties with reasonable potential for the discovery of economic ore bodies.


                                       13
<PAGE>

Crystallex is continuing drilling on its San Gregorio property with the
objective of increasing the mine life.

Since the closing of its acquisition of the Tomi concession and Revemin mill in
July, 2000, Crystallex has significantly increased its production in Venezuela.
The Revemin millis currently being expanded to increase its capacity by 20%.

Recent drilling has also identified significant potential for high grade Tomi
underground deposits on the property. (See Item 4.D, Information on the Company
- Property, Plants and Equipment -The Tomi Mining Concession and Revemin Mill.)

The acquisition of a controlling interest in Lo Increible and the La Victoria
concession in February, 2001, allowed Crystallex, in April, 2001, to put the La
Victoria property into production. In 2001, Crystallex verified the geologic
model and metallurgical recovery of the deposit. Crystallex also undertook an
extensive drilling program during 2001 to quantify more accurately the resources
at La Victoria.

Crystallex also engaged Mine Development Associates of Reno, Nevada, to complete
a feasibility study on the Albino underground deposit. The study, which was
completed in October 2001, showed that underground mining is economically
viable. (See Item 4.D, Information on the Company - Property, Plants and
Equipment - The Albino Concession.)

         The Gold Market

Gold bullion trades around the world on a 24-hour basis and the market price for
gold is readily ascertainable from the London Metal Exchange, the New York
Commodities Futures Exchange (Comex) and other commodity markets. Every day,
hundreds of thousands of ounces are bought and sold at electronic speeds.
Production comes mainly from large mines in South Africa, North and South
America, Australia, and the former Soviet Union. Main consuming markets are the
Middle East, South East Asia, Europe, and North America.

Crystallex exports its production from San Gregorio to recognized refiners for
settlement based on world spot prices or by using hedging strategies, such as
forward selling and calls, in order to maximize the price received. Although not
required to do so, Crystallex sells its production from its Revemin mill to the
Central Bank of Venezuela. Crystallex receives the full international price for
the gold that it sells to the Central Bank of Venezuela.

         Government Regulation

Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various national,
state, provincial and local laws and regulations in Venezuela, Uruguay and other
jurisdictions, which govern exploration, development, mining, production,
exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection
of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters.
Crystallex has obtained or has pending applications for those licenses, permits
or other authorizations currently required to conduct its operations. Crystallex
believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with applicable
mining, health, safety and environmental statutes and the regulations passed
thereunder in the jurisdictions in which it operates. There are no current
orders or directions with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.

Crystallex's mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various
federal, state and local laws and regulations governing protection of the
environment. These laws are continually changing and, as a general matter, are
becoming more restrictive. Crystallex's policy is to conduct business in a way
that safeguards public health and the environment. Crystallex believes that its
operations are conducted in material compliance with applicable laws and
regulations.

Changes to current local, state or federal laws and regulations in the
jurisdictions where Crystallex operates could require additional capital
expenditures and increased operating and/or reclamation costs. Although
Crystallex is unable to predict what additional legislation, if any, might be
proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could render certain
mining operations uneconomic.

During 2001, Crystallex had no material environmental incidents or material
non-compliance with any applicable environmental regulations.

         Review of Title to Properties

At the time that it acquires a mining property, Crystallex completes or causes
to be completed due diligence on the property which, in the ordinary course,
would include a review by local counsel of concession (title) rights, surface
rights and mining contracts. Crystallex further obtains and relies upon detailed
representations of vendors and, in some cases, legal opinions obtained from
counsel for such vendors as a condition of closing. Crystallex has also
customarily reviewed at the time of acquisition financing files and reports to
lenders whose loans remain in place, in whole or in part, after acquisition.
While such reports have been issued specifically to the lenders, they have
provided support to Crystallex due diligence. Finally, since it has made some of
its acquisitions through the purchase of shares (see, for example, the
discussion in "History and Development of the Company - Background - Important
Acquisitions Since January 1, 1999"), Crystallex has, prior to closing, had an
opportunity to review in detail the records of the entity being acquired and
interview key employees in respect of matters concerning title and mining
contracts. However, despite these efforts, Crystallex can never be certain that
it will have valid title to its mining properties. See Item 3 - Key Information
- Risk Factors - General Concerns as to Title of Properties.

The Albino Concession
---------------------

Company Interest and Authorizations

Title to the Albino Concession was granted by the MEM to Mr. Alvino Bonucci
Gabianelli, a Venezuelan national, on February 25, 1988. Crystallex Venezuela
obtained the Albino Concession following Crystallex's final payment to Mr.
Bonucci in January, 1998. Crystallex currently holds both surface and veta
(underground) rights to the Albino Concession, allowing it to extract gold and
diamonds from a 500-hectare area. Surface rights were originally granted on
February 29, 1988 for a ten-year period, renewable in 10-year increments for up
to a total aggregate of 40 years. The rights renewed effective August 18, 1998
for an additional 10-


                                       18
<PAGE>


year period. Veta rights were granted in November, 1998 for
an initial 10-year period, renewable for the same duration up to a total
aggregate of 40 years.

In November, 1998 the Ministry of Energy and Mines of the Venezuelan government
approved the grant of concession rights for deep rock mining at the Albino
concession. Prior thereto, Crystallex had only been permitted to mine the open
pit alluvial gold deposits at Albino. The approval to mine deep rock will enable
Crystallex to access the main underground ore located beneath the alluvial
deposits. Crystallex completed a detailed feasibility study in 2001 that shows
underground mining was economically feasible at current gold prices. Current
activity is focused on development of the underground mine at Albino.

Property History

The Kilometre 88 region of Bolivar State, Venezuela, has a production history of
alluvial gold dating back to the turn of the century. It is estimated that
substantial amounts of gold were extracted by local miners from river gravels
and saprolite using hydraulic, sluice, and mercury amalgam methods.

In late 1992, Crystallex become involved in the exploration and subsequent
development of the Albino concession. Following an initial program of mapping,
soil sampling, ground magnetometer and IP surveys, drilling began in 1993 to
test for continuity of gold mineralization along the Conductora-Aguao 2 trend.
Between 1993 and 1998, 268 holes were drilled totaling 30,164 metres. Saprolite
mining on the Conductora zone was initiated in 1994 and lasted through 1998. In
2001, Mine Development Associates made an estimate of the Albino Concession's
ore reserves. See - Ore Reserves.

Location and Access

The Albino mine is accessible by good gravel road, two and a half miles west of
the village of Las Claritas off Kilometre 85 of the paved interstate highway
linking Puerto Ordaz to the Brazilian border. Power is generated from diesel
generators; diesel is delivered regularly and reliably. Potable water is also
delivered in tankers. Other water is generally collected from rainfall or
various small streams and ponds on the property. Rainfall is approximately 15
feet per year.

Area Description

The Albino Concession is a 500-hectare concession. The Concession is immediately
contiguous to the south and east of Las Cristinas 4 and 5 Concessions and to the
north of Crystallex's Carabobo Concession.

Royalty Payments

The Albino Concession is subject to a net smelter return royalty, payable to
MEM, of 4% of the value of gold sold (based on the London Metal Exchange price)
and 7% of the value of


                                       19
<PAGE>

diamonds. MEM has, however, reduced the royalty for gold to 1% for the Albino
Concession for an indefinite period, but there can be no assurance that such
reduction will continue to apply.

MEM Option to Acquire 20% Interest of Albino Concession.

The Albino Concession requires Crystallex to sell to an entity that MEM
designates, if MEM requests at any time during the life of the concession, a
twenty percent (20%) interest in any company used to mine and develop the
concessions. Crystallex believes that other Venezuelan concessions contain
similar provisions but that MEM has not exercised its options to date.
Crystallex may in the future acquire additional concessions in Venezuela that
have similar provisions. Crystallex cannot determine at what price, if any, the
designated entity would be required to pay for the shares representing this 20%
interest or whether the MEM would even require such shares to be transferred to
its designated entity.

Environmental Matters

The property is located in a tropical rain forest. Previous mining activity by
local artisan miners had stripped large areas of trees, although rapid natural
reforestation is apparent in the area. Mining activity is governed by various
local, State and Federal laws which require submission of an annual mining plan
to the environmental agencies as well as permission to operate in the area.
Inspections have been made from time to time by governmental authorities.
Crystallex is pursuing a voluntary program of reforestation as its work
progresses and does not anticipate any other reclamation expenses.

Local Geological Setting

The Albino Concession is in an area of low relief and moderately dense tropical
rainforest jungle. Actual outcrops of rock are rare. The rainy season is from
May to October. The area rivers flood during the rainy season but the property
is not affected by flooding.

The Albino Concession is underlain by supracrustal rocks of a lower Proterozoic
greenstone belt. Due to intense tropical weathering that characterizes the
region, the original bedrock has been saprolitized to depths of 30 meters to 60
meters below surface. Consequently, there is no hard rock outcrop on surface.
Interpretations of the original protholith based on examination of drill core
indicate that the main lithologic units underlying the property are porphyritic
and fragmental pyroclastic rocks of andesitic to basaltic composition; fine
grained, aphanitic to amygdaloidal mafic volcanics; porphyritic diorite, and
late diabase dykes.

Alteration assemblages at the Albino Concession occur within northeast trending
zones of shearing and quartz veining and include carbonate, chlorite, sericite,
silica, tourmaline and pyrite.

Mineralized Zones

Mineralization at the Albino Concession is predominantly found in north-east
trending shear zones and quartz veins located in the western portion of the
concession.


                                       20
<PAGE>

The main mineralized system, known as the La Conductora - Aguao 2 shear, is a 2
meter to 15 meter wide ductile-brittle zone of mineralization which has been
traced by drilling over a strike length of 750 meters and to vertical depths of
250 meters. The mineralized system is open at depth and to the southwest. The
shear zone, which dips moderately to the northwest, is developed near the
contact between supracrustal rocks and dioritic intrusives. Gold mineralization
within the northern portion of the shear zone occurs within a pervasively
silicified, pyritized and carbonatized mylonite zone, locally cut by quartz
veins and quartz-carbonate veinlets. The southern two-thirds of the shear zone
are characterized by the presence of thick auriferous quartz veins within
envelopes of mineralized schist. The highest gold values within the La
Conductora-Aguao shear correlate with quartz-albite veinlets and pyrite content.

The second most important mineralized system at Albino is a northeast trending
shear known as the Medina 3 Zone. This zone consists of strongly foliated,
pyrite-bearing schists with intercalations of quartz vein stringers and schists.
The zone has been traced by trenching and drilling over a strike length of 500
meters.

Other mineralized zones at Albino include the Medina 1 Zone, the Salazar Zone,
the Southern Extension of the Aguao shear, and a number of geochemical anomalies
characterized by erratic gold values in quartz veins.

               o    5.9% royalty and refining fees
The resulting calculation was then rounded up to the nearest even gpt.

The ore reserves were estimated by Mine Development Associates, an independent
mine engineering company based in Reno, Nevada, utilizing the mineral deposit
data estimated by the same company. The reserve estimate is based on an IDW
block model using appropriate geostatical indicators.

Mineral Deposit

The following table presents the mineral deposit at Albino:

                             Tonnes          Grade
                             (000's)         (g/T)

                             3,089           3.40

Mineral Deposit is a mineralized body which has been delineated by appropriately
spaced drilling and/or underground sampling to support a sufficient tonnage and
average grade of metal. Such a deposit does not qualify as a reserve, until a
comprehensive evaluation based upon unit cost, grade, recoveries and other
material factors conclude legal and economic feasibility. The Mineral Deposits
for the Albino Concession exclude the proven and probable gold reserves
discussed above.

The Mineral Deposit was calculated by Mine Development Associates using the
cross-sectional polygonal method with a cutoff grade of 1.0 g/t

For purposes of determining both reserves and mineralized deposits, drill
sections are spaced 25 meters apart, and the drill spacing within the sections
is 25 meters.

Mining ceased in 1998 when the open pit reached bedrock. No further production
from Albino has taken place since that time.

Past Operations

From 1994 to 1998, Crystallex was involved in an open pit operation which
involved the mining of surficial material from shallow pits and the processing
of the ore in a 250 tpd mill. The mill



                                       22
<PAGE>

was originally constructed in Northern Saskatchewan and re-assembled at Albino
without a crushing plant because of the friable nature of the ore. During a
5-year period (1994 to 1998), 41,259 ounces of gold were produced at Albino.

Current Operations

The operations at Albino were put on care and maintenance during 1998 due to low
gold prices and hard rock rights (Veta rights), which had not at that time been
granted. Veta rights were granted in November, 1998. Crystallex is beginning to
dewater the open pit at its Albino 1 concession in preparation for construction
of the ramp into the high-grade underground portion of the La Conductora
deposit. Crystallex plans to mine and process the ore from its underground
mining operation at Albino 1 by early 2003 through the expanded Revemin mill.
Facilities now on a care and maintenance basis include a gate house, offices for
engineering, geology and operations, core storage, hopper, 300 tonne per day
milling plant, gold refinery, maintenance shop, diesel electric generating
plant, fuel storage, secure storage for reagents, tree nursery and tailings
ponds.

Bolivar Goldfields Properties - The Tomi Mining Concession and Revemin Mill
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 500 hectare Tomi concession and the Revemin mill are the principal assets of
Minera Bonanza S.A. Minera Bonanza is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of
Crystallex, acquired on July 27, 2000 from Bolivar Goldfields Ltd. Crystallex's
acquisition of Minera Bonanza also included 44,438 hectares of exploration land.

         The Tomi Mining Concession
         --------------------------

The Tomi concession contains four adjoining deposits known as MacKenzie, Charlie
Richards, Milagrito, and Fosforito. Open pit mining started at MacKenzie in
mid-1998. Production in 2001 came from Charlie Richards and Milagrito. Although
Crystallex is not currently mining at Charlie Richards and MacKenzie, it expects
to start mining the underground ore at Charlie Richards in the third quarter of
2002. Gold production for 1998 and 1999 for the Tomi concession was 14,460
ounces and 60,699 ounces, respectively; Crystallex did not share in this
production. The Tomi concession produced approximately 54,800 ounces in 2000 and
13,871 ounces in 2001.

The ore from the Tomi mine is processed at the Revemin mill, located 17 km
southwest of the Tomi mine. The Revemin mill is a conventional C.I.L. facility
with a nominal capacity of 1,500 tpd. Crystallex is currently in the process of
increasing the capacity of the Revemin mill to 1,800 tpd at an estimated cost of
approximately US$1.5 million.

Location, Access, Infrastructure

The Tomi concession is located in Bolivar State, 16 km northeast of El Callao.
El Callao is the population center of the El Callao gold camp that was
established in the 19th century. The concession is accessed by a 6 km gravel
road branching off the interstate highway linking Puerto Ordaz, the main
commercial center of Bolivar State, to the Brazilian border.


                                       23
<PAGE>

Tomi infrastructure includes site roads, plant buildings, service buildings,
assay lab, water, sewage, tailings pond and related infrastructure items. Diesel
generators supply power to the mine, although a power line is available 6km from
the mine.

Property History

Exploration activities at Tomi date back to the turn of the century, as
witnessed by several small open cuts and some shallow underground workings in
the Charlie Richards and Mackenzie areas. Also, some artisanal mining took place
between 1930 and 1965. Modern exploration on the property only began in 1993
when Bolivar Goldfields Ltd completed the acquisition of the Tomi concession and
adjoining Belen and Dividival I and II concessions

The initial exploration work by Bolivar Goldfields consisted of a 100m x 100 m
soil sampling program and an airborne geophysical survey (magnetics and
radiometrics). The soil sampling program led to the definition of a strong
anomaly, 1,600 m long and 700 m wide, which was subsequently investigated by
9,000 metres of mechanized trenching and 8451 metres of reverse circulation and
diamond drilling in 78 holes. Most of the drilling was carried out in 1994 and
1995. The exploration work culminated in a feasibility study by Kilborn Inc. of
Toronto, Canada in 1996.

Mining at Tomi began in mid 1998 at the MacKenzie pit. In August 2000,
Crystallex completed the acquisition of Bolivar Goldfields' Venezuelan assets
and took control of the mining operations.

Geology and Mineralization

The Tomi concession is located in the Lower Proterozoic El Callao greenstone
belt, a succession of mafic (ultramafic) volcanic piles overlain by intermediate
to felsic volcanics, volcaniclastics and sediments. The main rock types at Tomi
are deformed volcaniclastic rocks and gabbroic sills.

Gold mineralization on the property is essentially confined to zones of intense
folding and shearing within the gabbroic sills. At MacKenzie, Charlie Richards
and Milagrito gold mineralization consists of quartz-veined, silicified,
carbonatized and pyritized zones occurring along the hinges and limbs of
antiforms plunging 45(Degree) to the east. At Fosforito, gold mineralization
occurs along an easterly dipping shear zone.

2001 Exploration Program

In the fall of 2001, Crystallex embarked on a 4,456 meter diamond drill program
aimed at developing underground reserves below the Charlie Richards Pit. The
results of a feasibility study conducted for Crystallex by Mine Development
Associates of Reno, Nevada were reported in October, 2001. The feasibility study
for the Charlie Richards underground deposit concluded that the deposit can be
mined at a rate of 350 tonnes per day at total operating costs of US $ 129 per
ounce of gold. During November, 2001, Crystallex collared the portal and started
the decline



                                       24
<PAGE>

that will access the underground reserves at the Tomi mine. By year end, 50
meters of decline had been completed.

Ore Reserves

Ore Reserves (Probable) as of December 31, 2001 are summarized below:

                               Ore Tonnes    Grade    Contained     Waste Tonnes
                               (000's)       (g/T)    Gold (ozs)    (000's)

       Tomi Open Pits          1,040          3.14    104,947        5,966
       Tomi  Underground         163         14.48     75,758
       (Charlie Richards)

       Total                   1,203          4.67    180,705

The ore reserves for the underground portion of the Charlie Richards deposit
were calculated by Mine Development Associates using a gold price of US$265, and
a cutoff grade of 5.0 g/t Au. The ore reserves for the open pit portion of the
Charlie Richards deposit (94,070 tonnes grading 5.61 g/t Au) were also
calculated by Mine Development Associates using a gold price of US$265 per ounce
and a cutoff of 1.35 g/t Au. The ore reserves for the other open pits were
estimated using a cutoff of 1.165 g/t Au for oxide ore and 1.549 g/t Au cutoff
for sulphide ore. The calculations are based on a gold price of US$300/ounce.

The ore reserves were verified by geologists at Tomi. The verification is based
on reserve estimates carried out by Micon International, Canada.

Mineral Deposit

The Mineral Deposit for the Tomi Concession is as follows as of December 31,
2001:

                            TONNES             GRADE
                            (000's)            (g/T)

                             611               2.83

Mineral Deposit is a mineralized body which has been delineated by appropriately
spaced drilling and/or underground sampling to support a sufficient tonnage and
average grade of metal. Such a deposit does not qualify as a reserve until a
comprehensive evaluation based upon unit cost, grade, recoveries and other
material factors conclude legal and economic feasibility. The Mineral Deposits
for the Tomi Concession exclude the probable gold reserves discussed above.

The Mineral Deposit of Charlie Richards was calculated by Mine Development
Associates, Reno, Nevada. The calculations were made employing the Medystem
block model. The mineral deposit is reported at a cutoff grade of 1.0 g/t Au.



                                       25

For purposes of determining both reserves and mineralized deposits, drill
sections are spaced 25 meters apart, and the drill spacing within the sections
is 25 meters.

Financing

Crystallex acquired all of Bolivar's assets in Venezuela, through the purchase
of the stock of Bolivar's wholly-owned subsidiary, for a purchase price of US$7
million and the assumption of bank debt of US$13 million, which Crystallex paid
to US$8.5 million at closing. Crystallex paid US$5 million of the purchase price
in cash and issued to Bolivar a promissory note in the principal amount of US$2
million (which Crystallex has since paid) for the balance. Crystallex has
combined payments under its bank debt with the payments under the loan it
assumed upon its acquisition of the San Gregorio property (see The San Gregorio
Gold Mine - Financing) and has extended payment dates to reflect more
appropriately anticipated production from Venezuelan assets that Crystallex
controls. The final maturity of the credit facility is scheduled for 2006.

The loan provides limited recourse to Crystallex and certain of its
subsidiaries. In consideration of amendments to the loan agreement with SBL to
coordinate Venezuelan production from all sources with payment dates, Crystallex
has agreed to provide to SBL a security interest in certain shares and assets
held by Crystallex as a result of Crystallex's acquisition of a controlling
interest in the El Callao properties. This will provide Crystallex with
additional flexibility as it coordinates production from mine sites in
Venezuela.

         Revemin Mill Production
         -----------------------

During 2001, the Revemin mill processed 438,291 tonnes of ore averaging 3.35 g/t
Au. Average recovery over the year was 90.3% producing 42,689 ounces of gold.
Feed material came from the Tomi concession open pit, La Victoria open pit, and
other sources. Crystallex began operations at La Victoria in April 2001. The
Revemin mill is a conventional CIP facility capable of treating 1,500 metric
tons of ore per day.

(1)  The Revemin mill processes ore from the La Victoria and Tomi mines, as well
     as ore purchased from independent miners on nearby concessions.

Between April and December of 2001, the period in which La Victoria was
operated, La Victoria contributed 76% of the feed material to Revemin. Total
material processed during this period at Revemin was 352,879 tonnes averaging
3.34 g/t Au and, with a recovery of 89.7%, produced 33,956 ounces of gold.

La Victoria contributed 269,669 tonnes of saprolite ore grading 3.15 g/t.
Saprolite recovery was 90.0% and recovered gold was 24,561 ounces. Mining at La
Victoria is contracted out to a local contractor. Defined ore zones are mined by
excavator and subsequently trucked to the Revemin mill in El Callao, a distance
of six kilometres from the mine site.

Las Cristinas 4 and 6 Concessions
---------------------------------

The Concessions

The Cristinas 4 and 6 Concessions are located in Kilometre 88, Venezuela. The
Cristinas 4 concession is adjacent to the Albino concession. The Cristinas 4 and
6 Concessions have been under investigation and exploration for several years by
Placer Dome, Inc. under a joint venture agreement between Placer Dome and CVG.
In 1992, CVG entered into a work contract with Minera Las Cristinas CA for areas
that included Cristinas 4 and 6. Crystallex understands that Placer Dome relied
upon the CVG work contract as the basis for its claim.

                                       27
<PAGE>

Acquisition of the Concessions

Crystallex holds its interest in Cristinas 4 and 6 through Inversora Mael, C.A.
("Mael"), a Venezuelan company. There are legal disputes regarding Crystallex's
right to the properties. In March 1997, Crystallex acquired rights to the
Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions located in Kilometer 88, Venezuela. The Cristinas
4 and 6 concessions have been under investigation and exploration for several
years by Placer Dome Inc., under a joint venture agreement with Corporation
Venezolana de Guayana ("CVG"). The Supreme Court of Venezuela issued rulings in
1991, 1996 and 1997 confirming the validity of the transfer of the concessions
to Mael. Following the 1997 ruling, Mael commenced a further action in the
Supreme Court of Venezuela seeking a ruling requiring the MEM to recognize fully
Mail's title ownership of the Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions. On June 11, 1998,
the Venezuelan Supreme Court ruled that Mael does not have status to assert
ownership rights over Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions and refused to proceed with
this action. In the opinion of counsel, prior contradictory decisions of the
Venezuelan Supreme Court were not overruled by the June 11, 1998 decision.

In August 1999, Crystallex commenced two legal proceedings in Venezuela in order
to enforce its rights in relation to the Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions. The
first proceeding seeks to nullify the joint venture agreement previously entered
into between CVG and MINCA, a Venezuelan joint venture in which Placer Dome has
been a participant. In essence, this action challenges the original legal basis
on which CVG purported to confer contractual rights to exploit the Cristinas 4
and 6 concessions commercially. The second proceeding seeks to nullify the
effect of the settlement agreement entered into in 1991 in respect of a lawsuit
between Mael, the Republic of Venezuela, CVG and Ramon Torres.

In September 1999, Venezuela published a new mining law providing that mining
privileges may only be conferred by concession. MINCA has since applied to
convert its contractual rights, in respect of Cristinas 4 and 6, into a
concession. It is uncertain whether this application will be granted. Such
application has not been published in the Official Gazette. Should it be
published, Crystallex will be entitled to file an opposition.

In May 2000, the Supreme Court of Venezuela issued a decision in favor of an
appeal filed by Mael against a previous decision issued by the Admission Chamber
of the Supreme Court of Venezuela. The Supreme Court's Admission Chamber
decision refused to admit the August 1999 action seeking to nullify the 1991
settlement agreement described above. Like the Venezuelan Supreme Court rulings
in 1991, 1996 and 1997, which confirmed Mael's legal standing regarding the
Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions, the Supreme Court's decision recognizes Mael's
legal standing in this matter. In its decision, the Supreme Court of Venezuela
reviewed each of the arguments presented by MINCA and CVG, and ruled against
each argument. By reviewing and ruling individually against each of the MINCA
and CVG arguments, those parties are barred from raising and cannot again
present these arguments before the Supreme Court in this lawsuit. The decision,
which cannot be appealed, was approved by the majority of the justices. The only
dissenting opinion was in the form of a single sentence dealing with procedural
aspects of the decision and contained nothing opposing the case filed by Mael.

                                       28
<PAGE>

In June 2000, the Admission Court of the Political Administrative Chamber of the
Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela issued a decision which formally admits
the legal claims made by Mael. As a result of the May and June decisions, Mael's
case respecting the ownership of the Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions can advance
to a full and final hearing on the merits before the Political-Administrative
Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela.

In November, 2001, the Venezuelan government cancelled the mining rights held by
MINCA and took possession of the Cristinas properties.

Pending resolution of these legal proceedings and determinations to be made
under the new mining law, Crystallex has determined not to write off its
investment. See Item 3.D - Key Information - Risk Factors - Title Disputes to
the Cristinas 4 and 6 Properties.

Until a means for Crystallex to exploit the Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions is
settled, the marketplace may have difficulty accurately assessing the value of
the ownership rights Crystallex has obtained. Crystallex's Board of Directors is
concerned that Crystallex shareholders not be prejudiced by this uncertainty and
has adopted certain measures to prevent third parties from exploiting the
current situation. These include acquiring the concession rights through a
privately-held acquisition company and certain intermediary entities and
entering into the Call Agreement and rights plan described below.

As previously disclosed to shareholders and as described above, Crystallex
acquired its title rights to the Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions by way of the
acquisition of the shares of Mael. That acquisition took place in March, 1997.
The acquisition was structured as a purchase by Ventures (Barbados) Limited
("VBL") of the shares of Stay Management Ltd. from Red Glove A.V.V. VBL is
currently owned and controlled by its sole shareholders, Marc J. Oppenheimer,
Crystallex's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Robert A. Fung,
Crystallex's Chairman, who purchased their VBL stock for nominal cash
consideration ($1.00). Both Stay and Red Glove are independent, arms length
entities. The only asset of Stay is the shares of Mael. The total purchase price
was US$30.0 million, of which US$6.5 million was paid in 1998. Effective April
30, 1999, VBL renegotiated the remaining portion of the purchase price for the
shares of Stay from US$23.5 million to US $10 million. That US$10 million was
paid in cash and in Crystallex common shares, and Red Glove retains one million
exercisable warrants to purchase Common Shares of Crystallex at a price of
US$2.00 per share.

Company Corporate Matters Related to the Concession

As discussed above, the shares of Mael have been acquired through VBL and other
intermediary companies. Prior to VBL's acquiring the Mael shares, VBL's
shareholders and VBL entered into an agreement (the "Call Agreement") with
Crystallex, granting to Crystallex an exclusive call right to acquire all of the
shares of VBL at their original cost ($1.00) at any time. This call right is
irrevocable and unconditional unless, prior to its exercise, a person or an
entity acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of Crystallex in a
transaction that has not been approved by the Board of Directors of Crystallex.
In such event, the call right will terminate and VBL and its shareholders will
sell the investment in the Cristinas 4 and 6 Concessions for the highest price
possible. The net proceeds realized, whether in cash or securities, will be
immediately



                                       29
<PAGE>

distributed, after payment of liabilities, to the shareholders of Crystallex
immediately prior to the 20% ownership threshold being surpassed. Under the Call
Agreement, Crystallex has the right to vote the shares of VBL, and the Board of
Directors of Crystallex intends to treat the concessions on the same basis as
Crystallex's other assets.

Crystallex's Board of Directors adopted, and the shareholders approved, a rights
plan ("Rights Plan"), in part, to prevent third parties from exploiting the
situation created by Crystallex's acquisition of the Cristinas 4 and 6
Concessions in Venezuela. The purpose of the Rights Plan is to give adequate
time for shareholders of Crystallex to properly assess the merits of a bid
without undue pressure and to allow competing bids to emerge. The Rights Plan is
designed to give the Board of Directors time to consider alternatives to allow
shareholders to receive full and fair value for their Common Shares and to
discourage unfriendly takeover attempts.

The effect of the Rights Plan, when triggered, is that each current Crystallex
shareholder will have the right to purchase, for the exercise price of the
rights, Crystallex's common shares having a value (based on the then prevailing
market price) equal to twice such exercise price (i.e., at a 50 percent
discount). The exercise price of the rights will be equal to five times the
prevailing market price at a specified time. The Board of Directors believes
that the adoption of the Rights Plan does not affect the duty of the Board of
Directors to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of
Crystallex and its shareholders.

El Callao Properties - The Lo Increible Deposits
------------------------------------------------

The Lo Increible project is a pre-feasibility stage gold property located
adjacent to Crystallex's Revemin mill in El Callao. The project consists of two
adjacent claims aggregating 9,704 hectares. Crystallex acquired the project
through a take-over bid for all of the shares of El Callao Mining Corporation
and the purchase from Bema Gold Corp. of both US$16 million of debt that El
Callao Mining owed to Bema Gold and Bema Gold's royalty on the project's cash
flow. Crystallex owns 51% of the Lo Increible project and the right to increase
its ownership to 70%, and the remaining 49% ownership is currently controlled by
Venezuelan partners unrelated to Crystallex. Crystallex and its Venezuelan
partners have agreed that the net income from the Lo Increible Project is
applied to the reduction of debt owing to Crystallex in amounts ranging from 75%
to 87.5% of such net income.

Location, Access, Infrastructure

The properties are located three kilometers north of El Callao and 15 km south
of Guasipati. Access to the claims is via the paved interstate highway and a
number of subsidiary gravel roads. The project area lies partly in savannah and
partly in low tropical rain forest at elevations in the 150 m to 225 m range.

The infrastructure of the project is excellent. In addition to roads, a major
power line crosses the property. Water is abundant and fuel costs are low.

Property History

The Lo Increible gold belt has been partially exposed by some 86 hardrock gold
workings spread along the belt. None of these working are more than 25 metres
deep. Despite the El Callao district's production history and Lo Increible's
extensive surface workings, little modern exploration had taken place until the
El Callao Mining Corp. began working on the district in late 1993. El Callao's
work initially included regional-scale mapping, airborne magnetic and
radiometric surveys, soil and rock sampling, extensive mechanized trenching, and
detailed sampling in selected areas. Areas of interest were evaluated by 10,413
metres of reverse circulation drilling in 1994. This RC program led to the
definition of priority targets that were subsequently tested by diamond
drilling.

In 1997, El Callao Mining commissioned MRDI, an independent engineering firm
based in San Mateo, California, to conduct a resource estimate of the Lo
Increible deposits based on a data base of 49,377 meters of drilling in 302
holes. The resource estimate was completed in 1998 and subsequently revised in
2000 based on the information provided by 19 additional holes totaling 1,925
meters.

In addition to the geologic resources defined by this drilling, El Callao's work
led to the identification of several mineralized
zones with potential for open pittable mineralization.

Geology and mineralization

The Lo Increible project is located in the heart of the El Callao Greenstone
belt gold producing region of Venezuela. The greenstone sequence consists of a
volcano-sedimentary pile of Lower Proterozoic age comprised of a basal unit of
basaltic rocks, a middle unit of intermediate to felsic volcanics, and an upper
unit of clastic sediments. The main feature of the Lo Increible project is a
major NNE to NE trending shear system which extends over a distance of 15 km and
contain numerous historical gold workings.

Gold mineralization within the Lo Increible belt is associated to shear-vein
systems characterized by intense hydraulic brecciation, silica flooding,
carbonate-sericite alteration and sulphidation (pyrite and subordinate
arsenopyrite). Exploration work by EMC has led to the definition of six separate
deposits known as La Victoria, La Cruz ("LC"), El Tapon ("T"), Sofia ("S"), La
Loca ("LL") and El Extranjero ("E").

La Victoria is the largest deposit identified to date on the property. It
consists of several stacked mineralized zones that dip 35(Degree) to the east
and have been traced for 750 metres along strike. The main zone of
mineralization ("Main Zone") has an average true thickness of 20 metres and is
characterized by a pinch-and-swell distribution of gold mineralization. La Cruz
deposit consists of subparallel shear-hosted mineralized bodies dipping
60(Degree) to the southeast. The best developed zone within this deposit is 3 m
to 25 m thick and has been traced for 600 m along strike. El Tapon and La Sofia
are rod-like deposits with average thicknesses of 9 m to 12m. They have been
traced 200 m to 250 m down-plunge. The La Loca deposit is a shallow dipping
(35(Degree)), 5 m to 10 m thick mineralized zone with a known strike length of
100 m. The El Extranjero deposit


                                       31
<PAGE>

comprises two steeply dipping mineralized zones ranging in thickness from 2 m to
20 m. To date the deposit has been traced over 250 m along strike and 120 m down
dip.

2001 Exploration Program

In late 2001, Crystallex completed 2,893 meters of diamond drilling in 36 holes
at La Victoria. The drilling was primarily aimed at upgrading the reserves
within the central portion of the La Victoria deposit. The results confirmed the
continuity of mineralization throughout the entire mineralized panel. They also
indicated the presence of a thick, high grade ore shoot defined by broad
mineralized intervals in holes LV01-003 (20.50 meters of 14.10 g/t Au) and
LV01-13 (17.20 meters of 4.41 g/t Au followed by 33.10 meters of 8.07 g/t Au).

The results of this drill program were incorporated in a new reserve and mineral
deposit estimate that was completed on February 28, 2002

</TABLE>

(1) The reserves for these five Lo Increible deposits (LC, T, S, LL, E) were
estimated by members of Bema's technical staff as part of an internal
pre-feasibility study published in March 1999. Bema's estimates do qualify as
reserves in accordance to Canadian National Instrument 43-101. However, they do
not qualify as reserves for United States reporting purposes, since SEC Industry
Guide 7 (under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as interpreted by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission staff, requires completion of a full
feasibility report in order to classify mineralization as reserve. Accordingly,
for U.S. reporting purposes, the mineralization at LC,T,S,LL, and E would be
classified as Mineral Deposit.

The reserves of five of the six Lo Increible deposits were estimated by members
of Bema's technical staff, based on the open pit optimization of mineralized
material calculated by MRDI. The ore reserves were calculated using a cut off
grade of 1.00 g/t Au and a gold price of US$325 per ounce, which is allowed
under Canadian standards but not under U.S. standards, which only


                                       32
<PAGE>

allows a US$300 per ounce price to be used for 2001. The reserves of the La
Victoria orebody, which meet both U.S. and Canadian reserve definition
standards, were calculated by Crystallex's technical staff based on the open pit
optimization of the Mineral Deposit calculated by Crystallex. The La Victoria
reserves were calculated at a cut off grade of 1.0 g/t Au and a gold price of
US$300 per ounce.

Crystallex has been mining ore from the La Victoria Pit since March, 2001.
During 2001, 272,956 tonnes of ore grading 3.47 g/t Au were mined from the La
Victoria Pit. During the same period, the Revemin mill processed 269,669 tonnes
of La Victoria ore grading 3.15 g/t Au.

Mineral Deposit is a mineralized body which has been delineated by appropriately
spaced drilling and/or underground sampling to support a sufficient tonnage and
average grade of metal. Such a deposit does not qualify as a reserve until a
comprehensive evaluation based upon unit cost, grade, recoveries and other
material factors conclude legal and economic feasibility. The Indicated
Resources and Mineral Deposits for La Victoria exclude the probable gold
reserves discussed above. As discussed note 1 to the table in Ore Reserves, the
mineralization at LC,T,S,LL, and E would be classified as Mineral Deposit for
U.S. purposes.

The Mineral Deposits of five of the six Lo Increible deposits were estimated by
MRDI. The Mineral deposit of La Victoria was estimated by Crystallex's technical
personnel using the pre-existing data base as well as an additional 2,894 meters
of core drilling completed by Crystallex in 2001. All Mineral Deposit figures
were estimated at 1.0 g/t Au cutoff.

After acquiring control of the Lo Increible property, Crystallex's technical
staff carried out a comprehensive review of all available technical data. Upon
completion of this study, a recommendation was made to the Board of Crystallex
to begin mining operations within the central portion of the La Victoria
deposit, where the density of drilling and the block model were sufficiently
detailed to allow for the designing of a starter pit.

For purposes of determining both reserves and mineralized deposits for La
Victoria, drill sections are spaced 25 to 50 meters apart, and the drill spacing
within the sections is in the range of 25 to 50 meters.

The Kilometre 88 Area

Crystallex currently holds or claims an interest or has the right to acquire an
interest in properties located in or near Kilometre 88 on Interstate Highway 10,
in Bolivar State, Venezuela. Interstate Highway 10 is a paved road in good
condition that connects the city of Puerto Ordaz on the Caroni River with the
Brazilian border. Puerto Ordaz, having approximately 400,000 inhabitants with
most services and an important river port, is 220 miles away. Caracas,
Venezuela's capital, is one hour away by air from Puerto Ordaz. Gravel roads
lead from the highway to the Albino Concession, the Las Cristinas Concessions,
the Carabobo Concession and the Santa Elena 7 and 8 Concessions, although to
reach the Santa Elena Concessions it is necessary to cross a river by barge.

Airports capable of servicing small aircraft are located at the town of El
Dorado, 55 miles to the north of the Albino Concession, and at Tumeremo, 100
miles to the north of the Albino Concession. Primary logistical support is
available at Kilometre 88 or in the mining settlement of Las Claritas. Puerto
Ordaz, located 220 miles to the north, offers full facilities for the
acquisition of equipment and spare parts.

The properties are principally covered by tropical rainforest. The soil profile
is typical of other tropical rainforest areas.

Mineiro Concessions
-------------------

Crystallex has not performed any mining activities on the Mineiro concession in
Brazil.

The Santa Elena, Carabobo and San Miguel Concessions
----------------------------------------------------

In 1994, Crystallex attempted to purchase from ACOMIXSUR four mining concessions
known as the Santa Elena 7 & 8, Carabobo and San Miguel 8 concessions, all
located in Bolivar State, Venezuela. In 1995, the Ministry of Energy and Mines
gave notice that it would not accept notice of the proposed transfers of these
concessions. Later in 1995, Crystallex brought a lawsuit challenging that
decision by the MEM. On August 7, 2001, the Supreme Tribunal of Justice


                                       34
<PAGE>

issued a decision declaring the prescription (termination) of a multitude of
inactive lawsuits, including the Crystallex lawsuit. In the meantime, Crystallex
entered into a commercial joint venture with ACOMISUR, the successor to
ACOMIXSUR, giving it an 80% interest in those properties. In view of that joint
venture agreement, Crystallex has undertaken no action to reinstate its action
in the Supreme Court. The joint venture allows for the commercial processing of
ore from these properties (which has taken place at the Revemin mill),
notwithstanding that a full drilling program has not yet been undertaken.

         Santa Elena Concessions
         -----------------------

The contiguous Santa Elena 7 and 8 Concessions occupy an area of 800 hectares.
They are located in Bolivar State, Venezuela, 15 kilometres west of the Bolivar
Interstate Highway and 16 kilometres north west of the community of El Dorado.
Access is by a gravel, all weather road.

The concessions are centered on a multi-phase intrusive complex consisting of a
barren, circular pyroxenite-gabbro plug surrounded by variably pyritized quartz
diorite. The intrusive complex is flanked by a supracrustal sequence of acid to
intermediate pyroclastics. The rocks are saprolitized to depths ranging from 5
meters to 40 meters.

Mineralization at Santa Elena occurs within shallow dipping fracture zones
surrounding the barren pyroxenite, in multidirectional sets of high grade quartz
veins, and in swarms of NNE trending quartz veinlets in quartz diorite.

Work by Crystallex in 1993 indicated potential for large low-grade Mineral
Deposit on this property. One trench assayed 2.48 g/T Au over 100 meters. One
hole drilled in the vicinity of this trench assayed 0.96 g/T Au over its entire
96-meter length.

         Carabobo Concession
         -------------------

The 462.5-hectare Carabobo Concession is located in the Kilometre 88 gold
district and appends the Albino I Concession to the south. Access is provided to
the property by a gravel road branching off the Bolivar Interstate Highway at
Kilometre 87 and by a series of secondary roads passable by single traction
vehicles during the dry season. The property is in an area of low relief and
moderately dense tropical rainforest.

The Carabobo Concession is part of a northwesterly trending Precambrian
greenstone belt consisting of metabasalts unconformably overlain by epiclastic
and pyroclastic successions.

Existing geological information on the Carabobo Concession is based on mapping
and soil sampling carried out by Company personnel over a cut grid consisting of
a north south base line and 18 east west cross lines spaced 100 meters apart.

         San Miguel 8 Concession
         -----------------------

The 500 hectare San Miguel Concession is located approximately 10 Kilometres
west of interstate highway 10 and 44 Kilometres north of Kilometre 88. There is
no road access to the


                                       35
<PAGE>

property. Artisan mining activities are known to have taken place at San Miguel.
However, no exploration activity has been carried out by Crystallex.

The San Gregorio Mining Concession
----------------------------------

In October 1998, Crystallex acquired the San Gregorio property and mine,
formerly owned by a subsidiary of Rea Gold. The San Gregorio project consists of
an operating mine and approximately 20,000 hectares of mineral properties.

The San Gregorio mine commenced production in January 1997 and is currently
producing gold at an average rate of approximately 65,000 ounces per year. It
includes a mill facility with the capability to process 3,000 tonnes of ore per
day. Gold production for 2001, 2000, and 1999 was 66,957, 72,025 and 77,701
ounces, respectively.

Description and Location

The San Gregorio gold mine is located in the Rivera Province of northern
Uruguay, near the town of Minas de Corrales, approximately 90 kilometers south
of the major population center at the adjoining border cities of Rivera, Uruguay
and Livramento, Brazil. Access to the project site from Montevideo, the capital
city of Uruguay, is to the north on Route 5 via Tacuarembo and then eastward on
Route 29 to the town of Minas de Corrales, a total distance of approximately 280
miles (450 kilometers.). A majority of the mine and plant operations personnel
have been sourced from Rivera, Tacuarembo and Minas de Corrales.

The San Gregorio property is comprised of contiguous mineral concessions
totaling 1,321 hectares (3,264 acres). The current Ore Reserves are contained
within two mine exploitation grants, issued in November 1989 and June 1994,
which are in effect for an initial, renewable term of 15 years. In addition,
Crystallex owns outright 1,087 hectares (2,686 acres) of the surface estate
within the project area and controls exploration rights on 20,000 hectares
(49,400 acres) of prospective mineral lands in northern and southern Uruguay.

Property History

Gold prospecting and mining activities in the San Gregorio area date back to the
19th century. Between 1895 and 1914, underground mining took place at San
Gregorio, yielding 64,300 ounces of gold.

The San Gregorio mine remained idle until the mid 1980s when a number of
companies began exploration work at San Gregorio. The project was acquired by
American Resource Corp, Inc. ("ARC") in 1994 and put in production by Rea Gold
in 1997 following the 1996 merger of ARC with one of Rea's wholly owned US
subsidiaries. In early 1998, Rea Gold filed for bankruptcy in Canada.

Crystallex conducted a detailed evaluation of the mine, its assets, liabilities
and ore reserves before acquiring the assets in October 1998.

                                       37
<PAGE>

Mineralization

The San Gregorio gold mine and the surrounding gold district are located in the
western portion of a 110 Kilometre long and 35 Kilometre wide Precambrian inlier
known as the Rivera Crystalline Island ("RCI"). The RCI is cut by prominent
longitudinal breaks and shear zones which cross the entire length of this
Precambrian inlier. Gold mineralization in the region is broadly associated to
structural and lithologic elements. At San Gregorio mineralization occurs within
dilatational sites of an E-W shear known as the San Gregorio Shear Zone and is
best developed in areas where the shear zone cuts reactive dioritic rocks. Gold
mineralization at San Gregorio consists of pyrite-bearing silica-carbonate
replacements and quartz-kspar stockworks. Gold mineralization is characterized
by low sulphide content (1- 4%) and is therefore non-acid generating.

Five deposits have to date been identified and outlined by drilling at the San
Gregorio property: San Gregorio Main, East Extension, Santa Teresa, Santa Teresa
West, and Santa Teresa North. In addition, Crystallex owns the Zapucay deposits
located 20 km southeast of San Gregorio.

2001 Exploration Program

Crystallex exploration activities in the year 2001 included 312 Km2 of geologic
mapping and accompanying soil sampling, lithogeochemistry and heavy mineral
sampling. Most of the exploration work was concentrated within the western
sector of the Rivera Crystalline Island. In addition, Crystallex acquired a
7,000 hectare prospecting permit covering portions of a very strong
gravity/magnetic anomaly located in the Rocha district in the northeastern
Uruguay.

Mineral Deposit is a mineralized body which has been delineated by appropriately
spaced drilling and/or underground sampling to support a sufficient tonnage and
average grade of metal. Such a deposit does not qualify as a reserve until a
comprehensive evaluation based upon unit cost, grade, recoveries and other
material factors conclude legal and economic feasibility.The Mineral Deposits
for San Gregorio project exclude the probable gold reserves discussed above.

The Mineral Deposit of San Gregorio was calculated by members of Minera San
Gregorio's technical staff using the same Medsystem software employed in the
estimation of ore reserves. The Mineral Deposit figures are reported at a 0.5
g/t Au cutoff

For purposes of determining both reserves and mineralized deposits, drill
sections are spaced 25 to 50 meters apart, and the drill spacing within the
sections is 25 meters.

Operations

The San Gregorio gold mine is an open pit mine utilizing loaders and trucks.
Mining is currently conducted in the San Gregorio Main, East Extension, and
Santa Teresa pits. Mining takes place six days per week, three shifts per day,
at a nominal daily production rate of 3,500 tonnes of ore and 15,000 tonnes of
waste. This mining activity supplies mill feed at a rate of 3,000 tonnes per day
seven days per week.

The major mining equipment includes two Caterpillar 990 front-end loaders, five
Caterpillar 773D haul trucks, three Ingersoll Rand DM45 drills and ancillary
equipment. Ore is dumped by truck directly into the ore hopper at the primary
crusher. A run-of-mine stockpile is used to ensure that a continuous ore supply
is available to the mill when the mine is down on Sundays or during a waste
cycle. Waste material is hauled to the main waste dump located south of the Main
Pit.

Permitting and Environmental Matter

On January 19, 1994, the Uruguayan Government enacted Law 16.466 (regulatory
decree passed September 21, 1994), which established the requirement for mining
companies to be issued an Environmental Impact Authorization prior to the
commencement of construction and mining activities. The San Gregorio gold mine
was granted the country's first environmental permit under the new regulatory
decree on March 26, 1996, becoming the first mine in Uruguay to conduct an
environmental impact study.

Financing

The assets of the San Gregorio Gold mine were acquired at a total purchase price
of US$29.0 million, satisfied by US$7.0 million in cash, US$6.0 million from the
liquidation of certain acquired company assets and US$16.0 million in
non-recourse project finance underwritten by Standard Bank London Limited ("SBL"
or "Standard Bank London"). In addition, a further US$1.2 million non-recourse
equipment finance loan was arranged by SBL. The total US$17.2 million has been
borrowed by Minera San Gregorio, S.A. ("MSG"), an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Crystallex ("SBL Loan").

The original US$16 million gold loan from SBL was being amortized in accordance
with the cash flow from the San Gregorio mine and carried an interest rate of
approximately 3%. Crystallex amended the original terms of the loan and combined
repayment with the payments under the loan that it assumed upon its acquisition
of Bolivar Goldfields' Venezuelan assets (see The Tomi Mine and Revemin Mill -
Financing). The combined repayments provide a final payment under the US$16
million loan to MSG (the "MSG Loan") in 2004 and a final payment under the loan
in connection with the acquisition of Bolivar Goldfields' Venezuelan assets (the
"Bolivar Loan") in 2006. At May 10, 2002, the principal balance of the MSG Loan
and of the Bolivar Loan, each of which provide limited recourse to Crystallex
and certain of its subsidiaries, is approximately US$3.3 million and US$8.5
million, respectively.

In December, 2001, SBL provided Crystallex with a letter of credit to support
the rehabilitation plan at the San Gregorio mine. In consideration of the
granting of the letter of credit and to support its indebtedness to SBL,
Crystallex agreed to provide SBL with limited collateral security as to the MSG
and Bolivar Loans over certain assets held by Crystallex and certain of its
subsidiaries.

SBL retains the right, subject to certain conditions, to assign its interest in
the outstanding portion of the financing to one or more other commercial banks
or lending institutions.

Crystallex is making the required principal payments on the U.S.$1.2 million
equipment loan in monthly amounts of US$25,000 and has now retired 83% of the
$1.2 million principal. Crystallex shareholders have approved the issuance of up
to 36,358,966 Crystallex common shares to repay the SBL Loan and up to an
additional 1,000,000 Crystallex common shares upon the exercise of warrants
issued to SBL in connection with the SBL Loan (of which 833,334 warrants have
expired or been exercised by their terms).

A.       OPERATING RESULTS
         -----------------

For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2001, Crystallex reported a net
income of $68,394, or $0.00 per share, compared to net income of $3.3 million,
or $0.06 per share in 2000 and a net profit of $5.3 million, or $0.13 per share
in 1999. The gross cash contribution in 2001 was $15.7 million as compared to
$17.2 million during 2000 and $16.1 million during 1999. Net operating cash flow
was $10.5 million or $0.15 per share compared to $11.0 million or $0.21 in 2000
and $2.7 million or $0.07 in 1999.




                                       41
<PAGE>

As discussed below, the changes in net income derived primarily from a full year
of operation of Venezuelan sites, that is, Tomi Mine and Revemin Mill (the
Bolivar acquisition) and Lo Increible Goldfields (the ECM acquisition), which
were not in full production during 2000. This additional production resulted in
approximately 110,000 ounces produced in 2001 as compared to 96,000 ounces in
2000, but were offset by higher operational costs ($39.8 million in 2001
compared to $30.5 million in 2002), lower recovery rates (90% in 2001 compared
to 95% in 2000), and a slight decrease in the price of gold (US$327 per ounce in
2001 compared to $333 per ounce in 2000).


Revenue from gold sales of $55.6 million in 2001 was up from $47.7 million and
$35.9 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively, reflecting the acquisition of
Bolivar Goldfields A.V.V. ("Bolivar Goldfields"), which Crystallex completed
during the third quarter of 2000 and the acquisition of ECM, completed in the
first quarter of 2001. These acquisitions enabled Crystallex to produce 109,647
ounces of gold in 2001 compared to 95,563 ounces in 2000 and 76,889 ounces in
1999. Of the 109,647 ounces of gold in 2001, 66,957 ounces (approximately 61%)
is from Uruguay and 42,690 ounces (approximately 39%) is from the Revemin mill
in Venezuela. This additional production in 2001 enabled Crystallex to offset
the slight decrease in the price of gold for the period. During 2001, Crystallex
realized average revenue of $507 per ounce (equivalent to US$327) as compared to
$499 per ounce (equivalent to US$333) for the same period in 2000 and $467 per
ounce (equivalent to US$314) for the same period in 1999.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
-----------------

The total cash cost per ounce data is presented to provide additional
information and is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). The data should not be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or costs of
operations as determined under GAAP. The total cash cost per ounce calculation
is derived from amounts included in the Operating Expense line on our Statement
of Income. As this line item is unchanged under US GAAP, the total cash cost per
ounce figure is similarly unchanged using US GAAP results of operations.

Total cash costs per ounce are calculated in accordance with "The Gold Institute
Production Cost Standard." Crystallex has not changed the components of these
costs from period to period. Adoption of this standard reporting is voluntary,
and the data may not conform to other similarly titled measures provided by
other precious metals companies. Management uses the cash cost per ounce data to
access profitability and cash flow from Crystallex's operations and to compare
it with other precious metals producers. Total cash costs per ounce are derived
from amounts included in our income statements and include mine site operating
costs such as mining, processing, administration, royalties and production taxes
but exclude amortization, reclamation, capital expenditures and exploration
costs.

</TABLE>


OPERATIONS
----------

During 2001, operations contributed gross cash of $15.7 million as compared to
$17.2 million in 2000 and $16.1 million during 1999. The increased operating
expenses in 2001 of $39.8 million as compared to $30.5 million in 2000 and $19.8
million in 1999 reflected a full year of operations in Venezuela in 2001 as
compared to a partial year in 2000 as a result of the acquisition of the assets
of Bolivar Goldfields. Additionally, during 2001, the level of operating
activities in Venezuela was significantly higher as Crystallex incurred expenses
associated with the commencement of mining at La Victoria, the transition to
underground mining at Tomi (Charlie Richards), and additional expenses
associated with increased geological activities. On a pro-rated basis,
Crystallex also incurred greater processing expenses in Venezuela as more tonnes
were processed through the Revemin facility and the average grade fell from
approximately 4 grams per tonne to 3.4 grams per tonne. The lower recovery rate
of 90% realized in 2001 as compared to the recovery rate of 95% also reflected
the mixing of ores from various deposits during 2001. Both the recovery rate and
the head grade are expected to be higher in 2002 than 2001. In Uruguay,
Crystallex incurred expenses of approximately $1 million in connection with the
commissioning and operation of a water treatment facility.

Non-cash amortization and depletion charges of $8.4 million in 2001 as compared
to $6.6 million during 2000 and $4.0 million during 1999 were the result of full
year charges of Bolivar Goldfields versus only partial amortization from the
previous year. Also included is partial amortization of ECM.

With the higher costs in 2001 in connection with the investments made for a
higher production profile, Crystallex posted a gross contribution of $7.4
million in 2001 versus $10.6 million in fiscal 2000 and $12.1 million in 1999.
Crystallex incurred global expenses of $8.7 million in 2001 versus $7.4 million
in fiscal 2000 and $8.3 million in 1999. Of this differential, $1.2 million was



                                       44
<PAGE>

due to interest on long term debt as Crystallex carried its non-recourse project
financing for the entire year of 2001 whereas during the previous year it had
the debt associated with the acquisition of Bolivar Goldfields outstanding for
only part of the year. Aside from the increased interest expense, despite the
increased pace of corporate activity, the cost of running Crystallex was
virtually the same in 2001 as compared to the previous years.

After reflecting other income of $1.4 million in 2001 as compared to other
income of $.17 million in 2000 and $1.5 million in 1999, Crystallex posted a
profit of $68,394 in 2001 versus $3,304,556 in 2000 and $5,272,947 in 1999. Of
the other income, interest income of approximately $480,000 was lower than the
$625,000 from fiscal year 2000 due to the reduced interest rates received for
money market deposits during 2001. Included in other income was a foreign
exchange translation loss of approximately $400,000, as compared to a foreign
exchange translation loss of $562,000 and $320,000 from the previous years.
Finally, in 2001, Crystallex reflected approximately $1.3 million of minority
interest in other income associated with the costs of operation of the portion
of ECM not owned by Crystallex.

Crystallex does not view the currency fluctuations in Venezuela, which is
considered a hyper-inflationary economy (inflation rates of 12.3%, 13.4%, 20.0%,
29.9% and 37.6% in 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively), as a
significant risk because our revenues and most of our cost base is denominated
in United States dollars.

B.       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
         -------------------------------

As of December 31, 2001, Crystallex had cash and cash equivalents of $14.4
million as compared to $4.4 million on December 31, 2000. The current assets of
$27.9 million had a higher degree of liquidity compared to the $21.0 million
from the previous year. At year end, cash represented 51.7% of current assets
versus 21% of current assets on December 31, 2000. Year-end working capital of
$8.5 million showed a significant improvement in liquidity as compared to
Crystallex's working capital position of $2.95 million from December 31, 2000.
Total assets increased to $198 million from $164 million the previous year. Of
the increase of $34 million in assets, approximately $28 million was
attributable to the acquisition and operation of the ECM properties.

Regarding liabilities, the only significant change was the increase in the
current portion of long term debt from approximately $500,000 to $2.3 million
reflecting the commencement of the amortization of the non-recourse project
finance credit facility. As at December 31, 2001, the payment schedule was:

===========================================================================


                                       45
<PAGE>

The reclamation liability decreased from approximately $1.4 million to $1.2
million as Crystallex incurred approximately $444,000 in reclamation costs
related to treating and discharging the residual cyanide solution through the
treatment plant and the re-vegetation of the waste rock dumps on a rotational
basis. Crystallex has also incurred expenses relating to covering a small
portion of the tailings pond in order to ensure that this process can be
completed successfully. There were no reclamation costs incurred in 2000 or
1999.

Shareholder's equity grew from $111 million to $144 million, reflecting
Crystallex's corporate finance activities as well as the issuance of equity in
conjunction with the acquisition of the El Callao Mining Corp.
("ECM")properties.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
--------------------

The cash provided by operating activities was $10. 5 million compared with $11.0
million in 2000 and $2.7 million in 1999. During 2001, Crystallex made
significant improvement in reducing production and supplies inventories. The
cash flow from the operating activities was used to finance capital expenditures
and for the acquisition of a company.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
--------------------

During the year , Crystallex invested $5.4 million to consummate the acquisition
of a portion of the outstanding debt owing from ECM to Bema Gold Corporation
(`Bema") and a royalty on the El Callao Mining project. Concurrent with this,
Crystallex completed the take-over bid made by its wholly-owned subsidiary
618707 British Columbia Ltd., to acquire any and all of the common shares of
ECM. The shares of ECM deposited to the offer totalled 36,575 832, representing
approximately 80% of the outstanding shares of ECM. 618707 British Columbia Ltd.
assigned its rights under the bid to Crystallex and Crystallex took up and paid
for the ECM shares by issuing an aggregate of 2,438,352 common shares of
Crystallex.

With this acquisition, Crystallex has control of the Lo Increible Project in
Venezuela. The Lo Increible Project is a 9,704 hectare property in the heart of
the El Callao mining district.

During 2001, Crystallex also incurred expenses in various projects to expand the
mills, commenced mining at Santa Teresa, collared the portal for underground
mining at Charlie Richards and others.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES
--------------------

Cash provided by financing activities generated $19.0 million in 2001,
representing the proceeds from a private placement, equity offerings, debt draw
downs, exercising of warrants and stock options.

RISK FACTORS
------------

The profitability of Crystallex depends upon several identified factors
including levels of productions, commodity prices, costs of operation, financing
costs, the successful integration of acquired assets and the risks associated
with mining activities. Profitability will further vary with discretionary
expenditures such as investments in technology, exploration and mine
development. Crystallex operates in an international marketplace and incurs
exposure to risks inherent in a multijurisdictional business environment
including political risk, varying tax regimes, country specific employment
legislation and currency exchange fluctuation. Crystallex seeks to minimize its
exposure to these factors by implementing insurance and risk management
programs, monitoring debt levels and interest costs, and maintaining employment
and social policies consistent with sustaining a trained and stable workforce.

REGULATORY AND ENVIRONMENT RISKS
--------------------------------

Crystallex takes care to maintain compliance with the regulations prevalent in
the countries within which it has activities. Concern for the environment has
spawned several regulations with regard to mining in various countries.
Crystallex believes that its environmental programs, developed internally in
conjunction with local advisers, not only complies with but in some cases
exceeds prevailing regulations.

The mining and production activities of Crystallex in Uruguay and Venezuela are
subject to environmental legislation and government regulation, including
reporting requirements and monitoring activities. Crystallex is not aware of any
material breach of environmental regulations or requirements and has no notices
or work orders outstanding with respect to environmental matters. It is
Crystallex's policy and practice to conduct internal environmental audits to
confirm compliance with environmental regulations and assess continuing
compliance.

Cyanide
-------

Environmental considerations in Uruguay and Venezuela focus on the use and
containment of cyanide bearing solutions (liquids) and cyanide bearing solid
tailings. In order to apply effective remediation measures, it is important to
understand some of the characteristics of cyanide:

     o    Cyanide is a man-made substance consisting of nitrogen, carbon and
          hydrogen. (NCH)

     o    It is toxic and needs to be handled with care.

     o    It is a fragile chemical compound (unstable in certain environments).

     o    It is biodegradable, oxidizes rapidly and reverts back to its
          components of carbon which becomes carbon dioxide, nitrogen which
          becomes a nitrous oxide, and hydrogen which turns into water.

     o    It is destroyed by ultraviolet light over time.

     o    It is destroyed rapidly in an environment where the PH drops below 10.



                                       47
<PAGE>

     o    Cyanide destruction plants, like the one at Minera San Gregorio
          ("MSG"), operate with a PH of 2 in order to destroy 95% of the cyanide
          in less than 4 hours.

Uruguay
-------

In Uruguay, two government agencies develop policies regarding environmental
protection, DINAMA, the National Directorate of the Environment, and DNH, the
National Directorate of Hydrology. A third agency, DINAMIGE, the Directorate of
Mining and Geology, joins DINAMA and DNH in the decision to allow mining to
proceed.

DINAMA allowed MSG to proceed with mining based on MSG's compliance with
DINAMA's requirements. The requirements covered protection of flora and fauna,
discharge of solid and liquid waste, dust control and many other matters, all of
which have been complied with by MSG. Each year MSG prepares a comprehensive
report which addresses all compliance requirements and files the report with
DINAMA, with a courtesy copy to the other two agencies. The report covers
operating compliance issues as well as general environmental issues regarding
the impact of the operation on flora and fauna. The annual reports filed have
been, in large part, accepted without question. There have never been major
compliance issues during the period of Crystallex's ownership of MSG.

DINAMA sends its inspectors on a monthly monitoring trip to examine surface
run-off, impact of the operation on a number of strategically positioned
monitoring wells and a dust monitoring station in the nearby village of Minas De
Corrales. Management has a meeting following the inspections, and rarely have
there been issues which could not be resolved at that meeting.

DNH is the agency responsible for issuing the permission to use water. As with
the water boards in Canada, no operation is possible without this permit. DNH
has been mostly active in trying to understand what happens to water quality
after abandonment, and therefore we have been working with DNH, and external
consultants, over the past four years to develop the final closure plan.

The three areas related to our work with DNH are:

     1.   Long Term stability of the tailings deposition area, both physically
          and chemically.

     2.   Reclamation and planting of the mine waste dump areas.

     3.   Removal of surface facilities.

TAILINGS AREA.

     o    Our liquid tailings treatment plant was commissioned in 2001. It was
          designed to treat the tailings solution from the tailings pond and to
          discharge the resultant innocuous liquid to the environment. The
          original volume of liquid tailings at the time of commissioning of
          this plant approached 800,000 cubic meters. This is currently down to
          150,000 cubic meters. DNH was pleased with this development as most of
          the issues surrounding an abandoned tailings pond deal with the
          discharge of liquids.



                                       48
<PAGE>

     o    The tailings facility was designed by Golders Associates and
          constructed under their supervision. The long term stability of this
          facility is assured thorough design and operating criteria, and DNH
          has accepted the concept and design.

 RECLAMATION AND PLANTING OF MINE WASTE DUMPS.

     o    This is an ongoing activity started in 2001.

     o    Approximately 40% of the dumps have been reclaimed and revegetated.

     o    The results have been successful beyond our initial expectation. The
          reclaimed dumps blend well into the environment and are difficult to
          discern from a distance.

REMOVAL OF SURFACE FACILITIES.

     o    A plan to remove surface facilities was presented, but for obvious
          reasonsimplementation is delayed to the end of our mining cycle at
          MSG.

     o    Estimates to remove the plant are updated regularly.

In Uruguay, the ongoing site restoration costs are expensed as, incurred and a
provision for closure restoration costs, based upon estimated costs to comply
with existing reclamation legislation, is included in our reclamation liability
for balance sheet purposes. Crystallex does not anticipate an increase in the
total estimated reclamation liability.

Venezuela
---------

The Revemin plant is permitted for the use of cyanide in the dissolution of
gold, and the permit is in good standing. The permit is contingent on our
containing all tailings which have come into contact with cyanide. Compliance
with the permit is achieved as follows:

     o    A major North American geotechnical and engineering company designed
          the tailings deposition facility for Bolivar Goldfields

     o    The tailings dams were constructed according to the specifications set
          out in the engineering project.

     o    The tailings dams are being operated according to the specifications
          set out in the engineering project.

     o    The tailings dams are raised annually to accommodate the next years
          production.

     o    The cost of raising the dams is expensed annually.

     o    Certain areas of the tailings impoundment facility are decommissioned
          as they reach design capacity.

     o    These areas are revegetated and returned to nature.



                                       49
<PAGE>

     o    Since the property has been under Crystallex ownership, the annual
          inspection has been carried out by a Canadian geotechnical consultant,
          M. A. J. Matich, the recipient of the prestigious Leggett Award for
          recognition in the field of Geotechnical Engineering.

     o    Revemin staff inspect the tailings dams perimeter once per day.

     o    Representatives of the Ministry of the Environment and Natural
          Resources ("MARN") conduct planned bi-annual visits and occasionally
          conduct unplanned inspections.

     o    Operations at Revemin have never been suspended for non-compliance.

It is important to note that mined out areas are also rehabilitated as an
ongoing operating procedure. For example, our tailings impoundment facility at
Albino was covered over with a thin layer of topsoil and revegetated. The Albino
mine waste dumps were terraced, and indigenous trees were planted in a designed
pattern.

In Venezuela, Crystallex records reclamation costs as part of the unit costs of
ongoing production and expenses these costs when incurred. There is no further
provision for reclamation or closure costs and no provision is currently
anticipated.

Environmental laws and regulations are constantly changing and such changes may
impact our obligations for remediation and protection of the environment.
Crystallex may incur significant costs in respect of such obligations which may
impact its operating results and financial condition. Because of the uncertainty
as to the nature of future regulatory requirements, Crystallex is not able to
determine the impact of future requirements upon its compliance obligations and
financial position. We will continue to closely monitor changes in law and
policy which may impact its environmental compliance obligations and will update
its plans and financial estimates related to such obligations in compliance with
applicable law and policy.

We will continue its practice of progressively rehabilitating its properties
during operation to reduce post production, closure and post closure
obligations, including both operational and financial obligations.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, Messrs. Near, Thompson, Longden,
Matheson and Zullo received an annual fee of US$12,000, which was paid in Common
Shares of Crystallex pursuant to Crystallex's Directors' Remuneration Program.

employed by Crystallex. To the extent that a director is given a specific
assignment out of the normal course of his duties as a director, he is paid an
amount per day which the Board of Directors deems appropriate while devoting
himself exclusively to such an assignment. During the fiscal year ended December
31, 2001, no payments were made to directors under this policy.

Crystallex has agreed to pay Mr. Fung $180,000 per annum in his capacity as
Chairman of the Board.

All directors will receive an additional 20,000 options per year for serving on
the Board, the said options to be issued immediately following the annual
general meeting and the appointment of directors in or about June of each year.
All directors will receive an additional 10,000 options for each committee on
which they serve and an additional 5,000 options for each committee which they
chair, the additional options being in recognition of additional workload
undertaken by the directors, and issued immediately following the annual general
meeting and confirmation of committee appointments in or about June of each
year. Crystallex's directors received the following options during 2001 (in
addition to the options listed above for executive officers that are also
directors):

The Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Thompson (as Chair), Matheson and
Near. Messrs. Thompson and Near are not related to Crystallex, and none of
Matheson, Thompson, or Near is an inside director of Crystallex. The Audit
Committee is governed by a Charter that was adopted by the Board of Directors on
June 8, 2000. The Charter incorporates all of the requirements of the American
Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission, which requirements
were incorporated from the Report and Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon
Committee on Improving the Effectiveness of Corporate Audit Committees, as well
as the requirements of the Ontario Securities Commission. The Audit Committee
meets with management of Crystallex and the independent auditors to review and
inquire into matters affecting financial reporting, the system of internal
accounting and financial controls and procedures, and the audit procedures and
audit plan. This committee also recommends to the Board of Directors the firm of
independent auditors to be appointed. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews
and recommends to the Board of Directors for approval the annual financial
statements, and certain other documents required by regulatory authorities,
reviews with management and reports to the Board of Directors, on an annual
basis, on the financial plans and objectives of Crystallex, and reviews with
management, on an annual basis, the risks inherent in Crystallex's business and
risk management programs relating thereto.

The Compensation Committee, composed of Messrs. Near (as Chair), Fung and Ross,
determines compensation for the executive officers of Crystallex. Compensation
matters involving Mr. Fung and Mr. Ross are considered and approved directly by
the Board of Directors. Each of Mr. Fung and Mr. Ross absents himself from the
portions of Board of Directors' meetings at which his individual compensation is
discussed and determined.

Executive compensation is based on an evaluation of individual qualifications
and performance as well as on Crystallex's performance. Executive compensation
may be comprised of any combination of cash, in the form of salary and/or bonus,
benefits and incentive stock options. Qualifications, previous years'
performance, and comparison to peer group companies are weighted most heavily in
the determination of salary and salary adjustments. Incentive stock options and
bonuses are determined relative to individual performance and effort, and the
overall performance of Crystallex.

*  Less than 1% of common shares outstanding as of  May 10, 2002.

(1) Information on Common Shares beneficially owned is not within the knowledge
of the management of Crystallex and has been furnished by the respective
persons.

(2) The percentage indicated for each named person is based upon 81,344,316
common shares issued and outstanding as of May 10, 2002 and the number of common
shares underlying the immediately exercisable options held by such person. The

Crystallex is authorized to issue to its officers, directors, employees, and
consultants options to acquire an aggregate of up to 7,500,000 common shares
under its Incentive Share Option Plan that it adopted in 1997 and amended in
1998, 2000, and 2001. As of May 10, 2002, there were 5,444,792 outstanding
options under the plan. Crystallex intends to have its shareholders vote at the
2002 Annual General Meeting to increase the number of options authorized under
the Incentive Share Option Plan from 7,500,000 to 10,500,000.

Crystallex entered into an employment agreement with Marc J. Oppenheimer
effective March 6, 2000 setting out the terms under which Mr. Oppenheimer would
act as President and Chief Executive Officer of Crystallex. Pursuant to this
agreement, Mr. Oppenheimer receives, effective January 1, 2002, a base salary of
US$390,000 as well as a benefits package. In addition, the agreement allows for
Mr. Oppenheimer to negotiate a bonus and incentive plan with Crystallex. The
incentive plan negotiated by Mr. Oppenheimer allows for the grant to him of such
number of options to purchase Common Shares as the Board of Directors deems
appropriate. In the event of a change of ownership or control of Crystallex, Mr.
Oppenheimer may terminate the agreement. If, after any such change of control,
Crystallex fails to comply with the agreement, then Mr. Oppenheimer will receive
a lump sum payment equivalent to not less than three years of compensation and
benefits. The agreement has an expiry date of March 5, 2007, with automatic
one-year extensions unless Crystallex gives Mr. Oppenheimer a minimum of three
years written notice of termination prior to the anniversary date of the
agreement.

B.       MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
         --------------------------------------

Crystallex is continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Act")
with corporation number 345631-5. Its articles contain no restrictions on the
business that it may carry on. Neither Crystallex's articles nor its by-laws
contain any restriction on a director's power to vote on a proposal, arrangement
or contract in which the director is materially interested provided that the
director complies with the provisions of the Act. The Act requires a director
who is a party to a material contract or proposed material contract with
Crystallex or who is a director or an officer of or has a material interest in
any person who is a party to a material contract or proposed material contract
with Crystallex to disclose in writing to Crystallex, or request to have entered
in the minutes of meetings of directors, the nature and extent of his interest.
Such a director is precluded under the Act from voting on any resolution to
approve such a contract unless the contract falls within a specified list of
exceptions. The Act provides that, subject to the articles, the by-laws or any
unanimous shareholder agreement, the directors of a corporation may fix the
remuneration of the directors of the corporation. Neither the articles nor the
by-laws or of Crystallex restrict the power of the directors in this regard.
Crystallex has no unanimous shareholder agreements. The by-laws of Crystallex
specifically authorize the directors to fix the remuneration of members of the
Executive Committee from time to time. The Act provides that unless the articles
or by-laws of or a unanimous shareholder agreement relating to a corporation
otherwise provides, the directors may borrow money on the credit of the
corporation and issue debt obligations of the corporation. Neither the articles
nor the by-laws of Crystallex restrict the power of the directors in this
regard. Neither the articles nor the by-laws of Crystallex contain any mandatory
retirement provisions relating to the age of directors or any requirement that
directors hold any specified number of shares of Crystallex.



                                       65
<PAGE>

The authorized share capital of Crystallex consists of an unlimited number of
common shares, an unlimited number of Class "A" preference shares and an
unlimited number of Class "B" preference shares. Each common share entitles the
holder to dividends if, as and when declared by the directors, to one vote at
all meetings of holders of common shares and to participate ratably in any
distribution of the assets of Crystallex upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up, subject to the prior rights of the holders of shares ranking in
priority to the common shares. The Class "A" preference shares and Class "B"
preference shares are issuable in series. Each such series may consist of such
number of shares and have such designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and
conditions attached thereto as may be determined by the board of directors of
Crystallex, subject to the provisions attached to the Class "A" preference
shares as a class or the Class "B" preference shares as a class, as the case may
be. The Class "A" preference shares and the Class "B" preference shares shall
each rank ahead of the common shares with respect to the distribution of assets
of Crystallex upon liquidation, dissolution or a winding-up. The rights of
holders of Crystallex common shares may only be changed by articles of
amendment. Articles of amendment require the passage of a special resolution of
shareholders.

An annual meeting of holders of common shares must be held no later than 15
months after the date of the last annual meeting of shareholders. At such
meeting, the audited consolidated financial statements of Crystallex must be put
before the shareholders, the auditors of Crystallex will be appointed and the
directors of Crystallex will be elected. Voting may be effected in person or by
written proxy and the quorum for any shareholders meeting shall be not less than
two persons present holding or representing not less than 5 per cent of the
total number of shares entitled to be voted at the meeting. This provision is
different from the corporate law of many US states, and the effect of this
provision is that these two shareholders could (provided they hold the requisite
percentage of shares) take votes binding on behalf of all shareholders.

There are presently no governmental laws, decrees, or regulations in Canada
which impose limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold
or vote the common shares of Crystallex. However, the Investment Canada Act (the
"ICA"), provides, among other things, that the acquisition of control (as
defined in the ICA) of a corporation carrying on a Canadian business (as defined
in the ICA) whose assets exceed certain prescribed thresholds (which may depend
upon the nationality of the non-Canadian acquiring control) by a non-Canadian
(as defined in the ICA) may be subject to the approval of the Canadian Minister
of Industry. The ICA contains various provisions creating presumptions in
determining whether a Canadian corporation is or becomes a non-Canadian. For
example, if a Canadian corporation is controlled by a non-Canadian, the
corporation becomes non-Canadian, and thereupon the acquisition of control of
any other Canadian corporation by such corporation may be subject to the
approval of the Canadian Minister of Industry. The ICA contains a rebuttable
presumption that control is acquired if one third of the voting shares of a
Canadian corporation are acquired by a non-Canadian person or entity. Crystallex
carries on a Canadian business for purposes of the ICA. There is no provision
under US corporate law similar to the ICA. The impact of the ICA may be to delay
or prevent a change in Crystallex's control to a non-Canadian person or entity.

Although not part of Crystallex's articles or bylaws, Crystallex has adopted a
rights plan that could have an effect or delaying, deferring, or preventing a
change in control of Crystallex. See Item 4.D - Information on the Company -
Property, Plants and Equipment - Las Cristinas 4 and 6 Concessions - Company
Corporate Matters Related to the Concession.

D.       EXCHANGE CONTROLS
         -----------------

There are presently no governmental laws, decrees, or regulations in Canada
restricting the export or import of capital, or which impose exchange controls
or affect the remittance of dividends, interest, or other payments to
non-resident holders of Crystallex's common shares. However, any such remittance
to a resident of the United States may be subject to a withholding tax pursuant
to the Canada/United States tax convention between Canada and the United States
(see Item 10.E - Taxation).

E.       TAXATION
         --------

The following summary describes the general Canadian federal income tax
consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Crystallex's common shares
generally applicable to purchasers of Crystallex's common shares described
below.

This summary is applicable only to a purchaser of Crystallex's common shares (a
"Holder") who, (i) for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax
Act"), at all relevant times, is not and is not deemed to be, resident in
Canada, deals at arm's length with Crystallex, holds Crystallex's common shares
as capital property, does not hold or use and is not deemed or determined to
hold or use Crystallex's common shares in connection with the carrying on of a
business in Canada or the performing of independent personal services in Canada,
and, in the case of a purchaser that carries on an insurance business in Canada
and elsewhere, is not required by or for the purposes of the laws of Canada to
include an amount in respect of any of Crystallex's common shares in computing
its income from its insurance business carried on in Canada, and (ii) for the
purposes of the Canada- US. Income Tax Convention (the "Convention"), is at all
relevant times resident in the United States. This summary is not applicable to
a purchaser who is an organization exempt from tax in the United States and
described in Article XXI of the Convention. Crystallex's common shares will
generally be considered to be capital property to a purchaser unless the
purchaser holds Crystallex's common shares in the course of carrying on a
business of buying and selling securitiesor is a financial institution and
Crystallex's common shares are mark-to-market property of such purchaser.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should
it be, construed to be legal or tax advice to any particular Holder.
Accordingly, Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to
their particular circumstances.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, the Regulations
thereunder (the "Tax Regulations") and the Convention in force as of the date
hereof, the current published administrative policies of Canada Customs and
Revenue Agency, and all specific proposals (the "Tax Proposals") to amend the
Tax Act and the Tax Regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the
Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof. This summary is not
exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax consequences and, except



                                       68
<PAGE>

for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in
law, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action, and does not take
into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax consequences which may
differ significantly form those discussed herein. With respect to the Tax
Proposals, no assurances can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in
the form proposed or at all.

(a)     Dividends on Crystallex's Common Shares

Subject to the provisions of the Convention, Canadian withholding tax at a rate
of 25 % will be payable on dividends paid or credited by Crystallex to a Holder
of Crystallex's common shares. Under the Convention, the withholding tax rate is
generally reduced to 15 % or, if the Holder is a corporation that owns at least
10 % of Crystallex's voting stock, to 5%. Crystallex or its paying agent assumes
the responsibility for the withholding tax on such dividends.

(b)     Capital Gains and Losses

Upon a disposition or deemed disposition by a Holder of Crystallex's common
shares, a capital gain (or loss) will generally be realized by the Holder to the
extent that the proceeds of disposition, less costs of disposition, exceed (or
are exceeded by) the adjusted cost base of Crystallex's common shares to such
Holder. Subject to the provisions of the Convention, capital gains realized by a
Holder on a disposition of Crystallex's common shares will not be subject to
Canadian federal income tax unless Crystallex's common shares are taxable
Canadian property (as defined in the Tax Act) to such Holder, in which case the
capital gains will be subject to Canadian tax at rates which will approximate
those payable by a Canadian resident. Crystallex's common shares will not be
taxable Canadian property to a Holder unless, at any time during the 60 month
period immediately preceding the disposition, such Holder, persons with whom
such Holder did not deal at arm's length, or such Holder together with all such
persons, owned, had an interest in or an option in respect of 25 % or more of
the issued shares of any class or series of shares of Crystallex.

Under the Convention, a Holder will not be subject to Canadian tax on a
disposition of Crystallex's common shares unless, at the time of the
disposition, the value of Crystallex's common shares is derived principally from
real property (including natural resource property) situated in Canada, or
unless the Holder was an individual resident in Canada (a) at any time during
the ten years immediately preceding the disposition of such shares and (b) for
120 months during any period of twenty consecutive years preceding the
disposition of such shares, and such shares were owned by the Holder when he or
she ceased to be a resident of Canada.

      ITEM 11 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Crystallex's principal operations are resident in Uruguay and Venezuela.
However, aside from local trade/supplier debt, all transactions from these
operations are denominated in US dollars. Gold sale proceeds, as well as related
forward production contracts and written call options, are all received or
denominated in US dollars. To finance the acquisition of its operations,
Crystallex has incurred debt through bank instruments and convertible notes,
both of which are denominated in US dollars.

Crystallex's variable rate debt consists solely of its long term bank financing
utilized to fund the acquisition of mineral properties. This bank debt bears
interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. Considering the amount of debt
outstanding as at December 31, 2001 ($Cdn 17.8 million), a rapid or large
increase in the base rate, LIBOR, would not have a material impact on
Crystallex's earnings statement.

Crystallex has entered into forward production contracts and written call
options as part of its gold hedging activities as required by its lender under
existing loan agreements (See Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). These agreements obligate Crystallex to sell the gold at a price
set when it enters into the agreements regardless of the price of gold when
Crystallex actually produces the gold. As such, a risk exists that the price of
gold is higher at the time the gold is produced than when Crystallex entered
into the contracts. Crystallex therefore must sell the gold at a lower price
than it would have received if it did not enter into the agreements. In addition
should Crystallex be unable to produce and deliver the amount of gold that is
stipulated in the agreement it will be required to buy gold at spot market price
to fulfill its obligations. These spot market prices may be higher than the
agreed upon agreement delivery price or higher than Crystallex's production
costs. Further there is a risk that the entity agreeing to buy the gold from
Crystallex could default which, if the contract price is higher than the spot
market price at the time delivery, Crystallex would not likely be able to resell
the gold at the higher agreement price. Crystallex has a demonstrated history of
managing the risks associated with its forward sale contracts and written call
options and works closely with its principal lender in such management.
Crystallex's hedging policy provides for the use of fixed forward contracts to

                                AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders of
Crystallex International Corporation

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Crystallex International
Corporation as at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the consolidated statements of
operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian and United States generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an
audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2001
and 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, expressed in Canadian dollars, in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

                           U.S. REPORTING DIFFERENCE

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of
an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there is a
material restatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements, such as
described in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements. Our report to the
shareholders dated March 8, 2002 (except as to Note 19, which is as of March 24,
2003) is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not
permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors' report when
these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

CRYSTALLEX INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)



1.       NATURE OF OPERATIONS

         The Company is engaged in the production of gold and related activities
         including exploration, development mining and processing. These
         activities are conducted primarily in Venezuela and Uruguay. Some of
         the Company's subsidiaries are economically dependent on the parent
         entity to provide them with financing, administrative and other
         technical services, including geological assessments. Accordingly, the
         ability of these subsidiaries to continue as a going concern is
         dependent upon the Company's ability to continue raising funds through
         debt, equity, and operations.

2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         USE OF ESTIMATES

         Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect
         the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
         contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
         financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
         during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these
         estimates.

         PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
         Company and all its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company
         balances and transactions have been eliminated.

         TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES

         The accounts of subsidiaries, which are integrated operations, are
         translated using the temporal method. Under this method, monetary
         assets and liabilities are translated at the year end exchange rates.
         Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using historical
         rates of exchange. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of
         exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in earnings.
         Exchange gains and losses are included in income for the year. The
         financial statements of the Company's Venezuelan subsidiaries
         Crystallex de Venezuela S.A., Bolivar Goldfields A.V.V. and El Callao
         Mining Corp., which are considered integrated subsidiaries operating in
         hyperinflationary economies, have been translated using the temporal
         method.

         The accounts of subsidiaries which are self-sustaining operations are
         translated using the current rate method. Under this method, assets and
         liabilities are translated at the year end exchange rates. Revenues and
         expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the
         dates such items are recognized in earnings. Exchange gains and losses
         are included in a separate component of shareholders' equity under
         cumulative translation adjustment. The financial statements of the
         Company's Uruguayan subsidiary Minera San Gregorio S.A., which is
         considered a self sustaining subsidiary, has been translated using the
         current rate method.

         Financial statements of self sustaining subsidiaries' operating in
         hyper-inflationary economies are translated using the temporal method,
         until these subsidiaries' economies are no longer hyper-inflationary.

         Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated
         into the local functional currency at exchange rates prevailing at
         transaction dates.

         ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

         The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts on a
         specific account basis. No allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded
         by the Company as at December 31, 2001 and 2000.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.....)

         MINERAL PROPERTIES


         Mineral exploration costs such as topographical, geochemical and
         geophysical studies are capitalized and carried at cost until the
         properties to which they relate are placed into production, sold or
         where management has determined there to be a permanent impairment in
         value. Development costs incurred to access ore bodies identified in
         the current mining plan after production has commenced, are expensed as
         incurred, and development costs incurred to extend a mine beyond those
         areas identified in the mining plan which are necessary to access
         additional reserves are deferred until the incremental reserves are
         produced. Development costs, including the mineral acquisition and
         direct mineral exploration costs relating to the mining plan are
         amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life
         of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves.


         PROPERTY EVALUATIONS

         The Company reviews and evaluates the recoverability of the carrying
         amounts of all of its developed mineral properties and related
         buildings and equipment when events or changes in circumstances
         indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Estimated
         future net cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, are calculated using
         estimated recoverable ounces of gold (considering current proven and
         probable mineral reserves); estimated future commodity price
         realization (considering historical and current prices, price trends
         and related factors); and operating costs, future capital expenditures,
         project financing costs, reclamation costs and income taxes. Reduction
         in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, with a
         corresponding charge to earnings, are recorded to the extent that the
         estimated future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount.

         Estimates of future net cash flows are subject to risks and
         uncertainties. It is reasonably possible that changes in circumstances
         may occur in the near term which could affect those future net cash
         flows and consequently the recoverability of the Company's property,
         plant and equipment.

         INCOME TAXES

         Effective January 1, 2000, the Company retroactively adopted the
         liability method of accounting for income taxes, following new
         standards adopted by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants
         ("CICA"). The adoption of the new standards resulted in no adjustments
         to opening retained earnings. Under the new standards, future income
         tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences
         between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and those reported in
         the financial statements. The future tax assets or liabilities are
         calculated using the tax rates for the periods in which the differences
         are expected to be settled. Future tax assets are recognized to the
         extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.....)

         Reclamation costs


         The Company's policy for recording reclamation costs is to record a
         liability for the estimated costs to reclaim mined land, such as the
         rehabilitation and re-vegetation of waste rock dumps, the covering up
         of tailings ponds and the treatment and discharge of residual cyanide
         solution, and the dismantling of plants, by recording charges to
         production costs for each tonne of ore mined over the life of the mine.
         The amount charged is based on management's estimation of reclamation
         costs to be incurred. The accrued liability is reduced as reclamation
         expenditures are made. The Company's estimate of its ultimate
         reclamation liability may vary from current estimates due to possible
         changes in laws and regulations and changes in costs estimated. The
         Company will accrue additional liabilities for further reclamation
         costs as and when evidence becomes available indicating that its
         reclamation liability has changed.

         The total estimated remaining reclamation cost as of December 31, 2001
         for Uruguay is approximately $1,930,000 (2000 - $2,249,000) and for
         Venezuela is $Nil (2000 - $Nil), as these types of costs and activities
         are not required under Venezuelan law or expected to be incurred by the
         Company.


         REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Revenue from mining operations is recognized in the accounts upon
         delivery when title passes and collection of the sale is reasonably
         assured.

         PRODUCTION INVENTORIES

         Production inventories of gold in process are stated at the lower of
         average production cost and net realizable value. Production inventory
         is comprised of finished goods, ore in processing, stockpile, and
         consumables and spare parts used in the gold production process. The
         Company includes all direct and indirect costs in the calculation of
         the cost of its stockpiled and in process inventory, including
         depreciation of equipment and facilities and overhead related to
         production. It is at least reasonably possible that estimates of
         recoverable ore, grade and gold prices will change in the near term
         which could cause the Company to write-down production inventories.

         SUPPLIES INVENTORY

         Supplies inventory is valued at the lower of average and replacement
         costs.

         PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

         Plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.
         Amortization of plant and equipment used directly in the mining and
         production of gold is included in operating costs. Amortization of
         plant and equipment used directly on exploration projects is included
         in deferred exploration costs and is charged against operations when
         the related property commences production. Amortization is being
         provided for using the straight-line method over the following periods:

              Buildings                                   5 years
              Field vehicles                              5 years
              Furniture and equipment                     5 years
              Installations                               5 years
              Mill                                       20 years
              Mining equipment                           10 years

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.....)

         MARKETABLE SECURITIES

         Marketable securities are carried at the lower of cost and market
         value.

         DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

         Costs related to the Company's financings are deferred and amortized
         over the related term of the debt financing.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with
         original maturities of three months or less.

         BASIC INCOME PER SHARE

         Basic income per share is calculated using the weighted-average number
         of shares outstanding during the year.

         In accordance with the revised recommendations of the CICA, the Company
         changed from the imputed earnings approach to the treasury stock
         method, to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar
         instruments on diluted income per share. Under this method, the
         dilutive effect on earnings per share is recognized to include all
         potentially convertible instruments such as options warrants and other
         similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds would be used to
         purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
         The new standard has been applied on a retroactive basis and has no
         material impact on the amounts presented.

         Long-term investment securities

         Long-term investment securities are stated at cost, unless there has
         been an other than temporary decline in value at which time the
         securities are written down and the unrealised loss is recognized in
         the determination of net income.

         Commodity instruments

         The Company uses derivative financial instruments including fixed
         forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the market
         price of gold. The instruments are intended to reduce or eliminate the
         risk of falling prices on the Company's future gold production. Gains
         and losses on fixed forward contracts are recognized in gold revenues
         when the related designated production is delivered.

         The Company enters into commodity contracts in the normal course of its
         business to establish future sales prices and manage the future cash
         flow risks associated with price volatility of the commodities produced
         at its operating mines. Commodity contracts may be designated as hedges
         of financial risk exposures of anticipated transactions if, both at the
         inception of the hedge and throughout the hedge period, the changes in
         fair value of the contract substantially offset the effect of commodity
         price changes on the anticipated transactions and if it is probable
         that the transactions will occur. The Company regularly monitors its
         commodity exposures and ensures that contracted amounts do not exceed
         the amounts of underlying exposures.

         On October 24, 2000 the CICA Emerging Issues Committee issued EIC 113,
         "Accounting By Commodity Producers For Written Call Options", whereby
         written call options entered into on or after that date are recognized
         on the balance sheet as a liability measured at fair value with
         subsequent changes in the fair value of the liability recognized in
         earnings in the period of the change.

         expense is recognized for this plan when stock options are issued to
         employees. Any consideration paid by employees on exercise of stock
         options is credited to capital stock.

         ALBINO 1 CONCESSION

         By agreement with Albino Bonucci, dated December 23, 1992, the Company,
         through its subsidiaries, acquired a 100% interest in the Albino 1
         concession in Bolivar State, Venezuela. The consideration of $13.8
         million to acquire the interest in the concession was fully paid by
         December 31, 1997. A 1% Net Smelter Return Royalty is payable to the
         Ministry of Energy and Mines ("MEM") from the proceeds of gold
         production.

         BOLIVAR GOLDFIELDS PROPERTIES

         During 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding share capital
         of Bolivar Goldfields A.V.V. (Note 7). This acquisition includes the
         Tomi concession, Revemin mill and exploration lands in Venezuela. The
         exploration lands include the Dividival I and II, the Belen II, and the
         Marwani 1, 2, 5,6,7,9, and 11 concessions in the El Callao greenstone
         belt in Venezuela.

         The Company has not yet submitted feasibility studies for the Marwani
         1,2,5,6,7,9, and 11 concessions but has requested extensions of time
         for their presentation. If the extension is not granted, the CVG could
         exercise its authority to void the concession rights for the Marwani
         property. The Company believes the extensions will be granted as it is
         common practice for the CVG to grant these extensions.

8. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (cont'd.....)

         CRISTINAS 4 AND 6 CONCESSIONS


         In March 1997, the Company acquired rights to the Cristinas 4 and 6
         concessions located in Kilometre 88, Venezuela. The Cristinas 4 and 6
         concessions have been under investigation and exploration for several
         years by Placer Dome Inc. under a joint venture agreement with
         Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana ("CVG"). The Cristinas 4 concession
         is adjacent to the Company's Albino 1 concession. The Company holds its
         interest in Cristinas 4 and 6 through Inversora Mael, C.A. ("Mael"), a
         Venezuelan company (see Note 17). The Supreme Court of Venezuela issued
         rulings in 1991, 1996 and 1997 confirming the validity of the transfer
         of the concessions to Mael. Following the 1997 ruling, Mael commenced a
         further action in the Supreme Court of Venezuela seeking a ruling
         requiring the MEM to recognize fully Mael's title ownership of the
         Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions. On June 11, 1998 the Venezuelan Supreme
         Court ruled that Mael does not have status to assert ownership rights
         over Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions and refused to proceed with this
         action. In the opinion of Gomez Cottin & Tejera Paris, the Company's
         counsel on this matter, prior contradictory decisions of the Venezuelan
         Supreme Court were not overruled by the June 11, 1998 decision.


         In August 1999, the Company commenced two legal proceedings in
         Venezuela in order to enforce its rights in relation to the Cristinas 4
         and 6 concessions. The first proceeding seeks to nullify the joint
         venture agreement previously entered into between CVG and Minera de Las
         Cristinas S.A. ("MINCA"), a Venezuelan joint venture in which Placer
         Dome has been a participant. In essence, this action challenges the
         original legal basis on which CVG purported to confer contractual
         rights to exploit the Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions commercially. The
         second proceeding seeks to nullify the effect of the settlement
         agreement entered into in 1991 in respect of a lawsuit between Mael,
         the Republic of Venezuela, CVG and Ramon Torres.

         In September 1999, Venezuela published a new mining law providing that
         mining privileges may only be conferred by concession. MINCA has since
         applied to convert its contractual rights, in respect of Cristinas 4
         and 6, into a concession. It is uncertain whether this application will
         be granted. Such application has not been published in the Official
         Gazette. Should it be published, the Company will be entitled to file
         an opposition.

         In May 2000, the Supreme Court of Venezuela issued a decision in favour
         of an appeal filed by Mael against a previous decision issued by the
         Admission Chamber of the Supreme Court of Venezuela. The Supreme
         Court's Admission Chamber decision refused to admit the August 1999
         action seeking to nullify the 1991 settlement agreement described
         above. Like the Venezuela Supreme Court rulings in 1991, 1996, and
         1997, which confirmed Mael's legal standing regarding the Cristinas 4
         and 6 concessions, the Supreme Court's decision recognizes Mael's legal
         standing in this matter. In its decision, the Supreme Court of
         Venezuela reviewed each of the arguments presented by MINCA and CVG,
         and ruled against each argument. By reviewing and ruling individually
         against each of the MINCA and CVG arguments, those parties are barred
         from raising and cannot again present these arguments before the
         Supreme Court in this lawsuit. The decision, which cannot be appealed,
         was approved by the majority of the justices. The only dissenting
         opinion was in the form of a single sentence dealing with procedural
         aspects of the decision, and contained nothing opposing the case filed
         by Mael.

         In June 2000, the Admission Court of the Political-Administrative
         Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela issued a decision
         which formally admits the legal claims made by Mael. As a result of the
         May and June decisions, Mael's case respecting the ownership of the
         Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions can advance to a full and final hearing
         on the merits before the Political-Administrative Chamber of the
         Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela.

         In November 2001, the Venezuelan government cancelled the mining rights
         held by MINCA and took possession of the contested properties.

         CRISTINAS 4 AND 6 CONCESSIONS (CONT'D.....)

         Pending resolution of these continuing legal proceedings and
         determinations to be made under the new mining law, the Company has
         determined not to write off its investment. The costs relating to
         acquiring the Cristinas 4 and 6 concessions have been capitalized as
         part of the cost of the acquisition of the mineral property. The total
         cost incurred to December 31, 2001 was $42,641,589. In the event that
         the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining possession of the property,
         these costs, and any subsequent costs incurred, will be expensed to
         operations in that period.

         EL CALLAO PROPERTIES

         By an agreement dated September 12, 2000 and concurrently with the
         completion of the January 25, 2001 take-over bid, the Company acquired
         approximately 80% of the outstanding shares of ECM and, from Bema,
         assets related to ECM. As a result of the acquisition, the Company now
         controls the Lo Increible project in Venezuela.

         Central Property

         Certain obligations with respect to the development of the Central
         Property existed between ECM and Corporacion Vengroup S.A. ("Vengroup")
         in order for ECM to maintain its 51% interest and therefore operating
         control over the Central Property, including the completion of a first
         feasibility study. If the first feasibility study was not completed,
         ECM was required to make an annual payment of US$500,000 to Vengroup
         until a future feasibility study was completed. Upon completion and
         acceptance of a future feasibility study, ECM was required to pay
         US$3,500,000 to Vengroup which, at its option, could be satisfied by
         forgiving a note receivable plus accrued interest which had been
         provided to Vengroup. Subsequent to the acquisition of ECM by the
         Company, ECM and Vengroup agreed to waive the requirement of a first
         feasibility study, the development and production of the Central
         Property and the annual payment of US$500,000.

         ECM did however agree to pay to Vengroup the final amount under the
         share purchase agreement of US$2,150,000 with interest, payable on any
         unpaid balance at the U.S. Prime Rate plus 1.5%. As at December 31,
         2001, US$1,900,000 has been paid. Further, ECM and Vengroup agreed to
         advance the payment of the US$3,500,000 to Vengroup by crediting such
         amount to the note receivable and to that extent reduce the said note
         (Note 15).

         ECM has the right to acquire up to an additional 9% interest in the
         Central Property by making payments to Vengroup equivalent to the net
         present value of a 9% interest in the evaluated deposit and up to an
         additional 10% interest by making payments to Vengroup equivalent to up
         to a 3% net smelter return royalty.

         Surrounding Ground

         The mining rights to the Surrounding Ground, held by a 70% owned
         subsidiary of ECM, require ECM to make an initial payment of US$500,000
         (US$250,000 paid) and fund minimum exploration expenditures of
         US$3,000,000 over five years from the time certain environmental
         permits are granted to a corporation formed by a syndicate of small
         miners. In addition, ECM is required to make monthly payments of
         US$10,000 to its subsidiary for the term of the agreement and make
         annual payments to the miners, equivalent to 12% of net income after
         taxes from the start-up date of commercial production.

         As at December 31, 2001, ECM has expended US$1,019,784 (2000 -
         US$1,011,813) towards the exploration commitment but is still awaiting
         the receipt of certain environmental permits in order to further its
         exploration activities on the Surrounding Ground.

         MINEIRO CONCESSION

         By an agreement dated March 11, 1997, the Company, through its interest
         in Diamond Company Ltda, acquired a 65% interest on the Mineiro
         concession, consisting of 9,600 hectares in Amapa State, Brazil.
         Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company paid $366,987 and
         issued 100,000 common shares of the Company at a deemed value of
         $355,000.

         SANTA ELENA, SAN MIGUEL AND CARABOBO CONCESSIONS

         The Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Associacion
         Cooperative Minera del Sur R.L. ("ACOMISUR"), a mining cooperative,
         regarding the Santa Elena, San Miguel and Carabobo properties, all
         located in Bolivar State, Venezuela. Under this agreement, the
         Company's Venezuelan subsidiary will own 80% of the joint venture and
         ACOMISUR will own 20%, with the Company's subsidiary being the
         operator. The proven and probable reserves of the properties have not
         yet been determined.

         Prior to the joint venture agreement with ACOMISUR, MEM gave notice to
         ACOMISUR in connection with its right to sell the concessions to the
         Company. ACOMISUR filed a response asserting its rights with MEM and
         awaits a response from MEM. Separately, the Company has filed a
         petition with the Venezuelan Supreme Court seeking confirmation of the
         title of the concessions. Management and legal counsel of the Company
         believe that all necessary procedures were followed and rules adhered
         to in order to ensure that such agreement was properly entered into by
         ACOMISUR and that the Company will have good title to the concessions.

         SAN GREGORIO MINING CONCESSION

         By an agreement dated October 2, 1998, the Company, through one of its
         subsidiaries, acquired a 100% interest in the San Gregorio mining
         concession in Uruguay. The Uruguayan government mining agency has
         granted the Company exploitation rights over the concession for 15
         years subject to a net profit royalty.


         KNOB HILL PROPERTY AND OTHER PROPERTIES

         Crystallex has not performed any mining activities on the Knob Hill
         property, located in British Columbia, Canada, or other properties.


         TITLE TO MINERAL PROPERTIES

         Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the
         difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as
         the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous
         conveyancing history characteristic of many mining properties. The
         Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to
         the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good
         standing, subject to the comments contained in this note. The
         properties in which the Company has committed to earn an interest are
         located in Uruguay, Venezuela and Brazil and the Company is therefore
         relying on title opinion by legal counsel who are basing such opinions
         on the laws of Uruguay, Venezuela and Brazil.

9.       DEFERRED FINANCING FEES

         Deferred financing fees of $1,269,652, net of accumulated amortization
         of $396,587, (2000 - $101,453, net of accumulated amortization of $Nil)
         at December 31, 2001 relate to costs incurred in the issuance of
         convertible notes financing and for a non-recourse credit facility. The
         deferred financing fees are being amortized over periods ranging from
         one to five years.

10.      LOAN PAYABLE

         The loan payable is repayable on demand and bears interest at prime
         plus one percent. The Company has pledged shares in its long term
         investment securities as collateral. The loan was repaid subsequent to
         year end.

         GOLD LOAN

         During 1998, the Company, through a subsidiary, had entered into a
         non-recourse five-year bank credit facility of $24,532,800 or
         equivalent ounces of gold. The facility bears interest at the London
         Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") for United States dollar-denominated
         loans or the gold base rate for gold ounce-denominated loans plus an
         applicable margin, negotiated between both parties. The Company has the
         ability to repay the loan in either United States dollars, gold, or
         common shares of the Company. During the current period, the loan was
         converted into a dollar denominated bank loan.

         The loan agreement contained certain financial and other covenants that
         must be maintained during the term of the loan. Assets of certain of
         the subsidiary companies had been pledged as collateral.

         BANK LOANS

         During 1998, Minera San Gregorio S.A. entered into a bank loan facility
         of $24,532,800. The facility bears interest at the LIBOR plus an
         applicable margin, negotiated between both parties. Certain equipment
         is secured against the loan.

         During 2000,  Mineras Bonanza C.A.  entered into a bank loan facility
         of  $12,779,750. The facility bears interest at the LIBOR plus an
         applicable margin. The bank loan is secured by first mortgages over all
         the land, buildings and chattel of Mineras Bonanza, C.A. and
         Revemin II, C.A.

         During 2001, the credit facilities were combined into a new bank loan
         facility with the same interest rates and operating assets pledged as
         securities.

         The Company has several restrictive covenants that govern the bank
         loans including cash flow and gold based ratios. The Company is in
         compliance with all bank loan covenants during all periods presented.

     Company's operations are within the mining sector. Due to the geographic
     and political diversity, the Company's mining operations are decentralized
     whereby Mine General Managers are responsible for business results and
     regional corporate offices provide support to the mines in addressing local
     and regional issues. The Company's operations are therefore segmented on a
     district basis. The Company's only product is gold, produced from mines
     located in Uruguay and Venezuela.

     The segments' accounting policies are the same as those described in the
     summary of significant accounting policies except that expenses and other
     items are not allocated to the individual operating segments when
     determining profit or loss, but are rather attributed to the corporate
     office.

17.      COMMITMENTS

         AGREEMENT


         The Company entered into an agreement dated February 14, 1997 whereby
         it acquired an exclusive call right to acquire all of the common shares
         of Ventures (Barbados) Ltd. ("Ventures"), whose common shares are owned
         by two directors of the Company, effectively on behalf of the Company's
         shareholders (the "Call Agreement"). Ventures was incorporated in
         February, 1997 specifically for the purpose of acquiring the interest
         in Mael. The two directors of the Company became directors and
         shareholders of Ventures immediately following its incorporation and
         prior to Ventures' acquisition of any interest directly or indirectly
         in Mael. The Ventures' shares were issued to the Company's directors
         for nominal cash consideration of $1.00 and their investment in
         Ventures has at all times remained nominal. The Ventures shareholders
         granted the Company an exclusive right for the Company to acquire, at
         the Company's option, all of the shares of Ventures at any time at a
         purchase price equal to the shareholders' cost of those shares, which
         cost, as noted above, is nominal. The directors have no interest in
         Ventures or Mael other than their shareholdings in Ventures. Any
         funding or other consideration to complete the acquisition of Mael and
         required by Ventures has been provided by the Company. The total cost
         of the acquisition of Mael is US$30,000,000, which was subsequently
         renegotiated by Red Glove A. V. V. ("Red Glove") and Ventures as
         hereinafter more particularly described. All amounts paid have been
         treated as inter company loans from the Company to Ventures and the
         assets and liabilities of Ventures have been combined with the Company
         on consolidation for accounting purposes. There are no future
         commitments except the 1,000,000 warrants to Red Glove hereinafter
         referred to and which expire September 5, 2003.

17. COMMITMENTS (cont'd...)

         AGREEMENT (CONT'D...)


         It is not the individual directors but Ventures which indirectly
         purchased and indirectly owns, as its sole material asset, all of the
         outstanding shares of Mael. That interest was acquired through an
         acquisition agreement dated February 14, 1997. The acquisition of Mael
         was structured as a purchase by Ventures of all 1,200 of the
         outstanding shares of Stay Management Ltd. ("Stay") from Red Glove.
         Stay owns all 50,000 of the outstanding shares of Mael, and, at the
         time of purchase, both Stay and Red Glove were independent and arm's
         length from the Company and Ventures. Mael is therefore wholly owned
         and controlled by Stay, which is a simple holding company wholly owned
         and controlled by Ventures. Ventures is controlled by the Company
         through the application of the Call Agreement. The directors of Stay
         and Mael are nominee directors only who sit at the request of Ventures,
         and indirectly the Company. Mael and its assets are therefore subject
         to the ultimate control and direction of the Company. As nominee
         directors, taking direction from the Company, the directors of Stay and
         Mael would have no independent authority to direct the business and
         affairs of Mael or to transfer, directly or indirectly, in whole or in
         part, any interest in Mael. At all times, the Company's and Ventures'
         relationship with Red Glove has remained arm's length. The Company
         structured the transaction, including the incorporation and ownership
         of Ventures, to protect the interests of the Company's shareholders in
         the event that third parties sought to gain control of the Company, and
         thereby Mael, in a transaction which was not supported by the Company's
         directors.

         The cost of acquiring the shares of Mael was initially US$30,000,000,
         of which the Company paid US$6,500,000 (CDN$9,100,000) as of December
         31, 1998. Effective April 30, 1999, Ventures and Red Glove, through
         arm's length negotiation, agreed to reduce the remaining portion of the
         purchase price from US$23,500,000 to US$10,000,000 plus 5,000,000
         warrants to purchase common shares of the Company at a price of US$2.00
         per share. No value was attributed to the warrants for the purposes of
         the acquisition transaction. The Company required that Red Glove modify
         the purchase price as consideration for the Company to continue the
         transaction. Absent such modification, the Company had the option to
         terminate the acquisition without obligation to make further payments
         in excess of the initial US$6,500,000 payment. Consequently, April 30,
         1999 was determined to be the date the Company was obligated to
         complete the purchase for the revised consideration noted above. The
         price of the warrants, being US$2.00 per warrant, was settled by arm's
         length negotiation with Red Glove at the time of renegotiation. The
         warrants had staggered expiry dates and, as of December 31, 2001,
         4,000,000 of the warrants have expired and 1,000,000 remained
         outstanding. The remaining 1,000,000 warrants will expire on September
         5, 2003, unless otherwise exercised. During 1999 and 2000, the
         US$10,000,000 was fully paid through the Company's issuance of its
         common shares, valued at the average closing sales price on the
         American Stock Exchange for the 30 day period immediately preceding the
         issuance of the shares, and by cash of US$250,000 (CDN$364,000). The
         shares were issued in several tranches during the period commencing
         December 9, 1998 and ending June 9, 2000. A total of 8,034,445 shares
         were issued having an aggregate value of US$9,837,534. The amount of
         the final tranche includes a negotiated amount paid to Red Glove in
         compensation for costs incurred in the renegotiation, as a result of
         which the amount paid, by cash and by issuance of shares, slightly
         exceeds US$10,000,000. These payments have been capitalized as part of
         the property cost.

    The call right is irrevocable and unconditional for the benefit of the
    Company unless, prior to its exercise, a person together with any
    parties acting jointly or in concert with such power acquires 20% or
    more of the Company's outstanding voting shares without the approval of
    the Company's Board of Directors. In such an event, the call right will
    be terminated and Ventures and its shareholders will be required to
    dispose of the investment in Mael in a commercially reasonable manner
    with a view to maximizing the proceeds of such a disposition. The net
    proceeds of disposition, whether represented by cash or securities,
    would be distributed after payment of liabilities to those persons who
    were shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the 20% ownership
    threshold being surpassed, rather than to the two directors of the
    Company in their capacity as Ventures' shareholders. There are no
    material liabilities which would need to be repaid to the directors or
    shareholders of Ventures or to any parties other than the Company which
    funded the Mael transactions. Under the Call Agreement, the Company has
    the right to vote the shares of Ventures. The Call Agreement, in
    conjunction with a rights plan approved by the Company's shareholders,
    was designed to give adequate time for the Company's shareholders to
    assess properly the merits of any bid for common shares of the Company
    without undue pressure, to allow competing bids to emerge and to allow
    the Company's directors to consider alternatives to allow shareholders
    to receive full and fair value for their common shares. In the event
    that the shares of Mael were sold, all proceeds, after payment of costs
    related to the sale, would be payable to the Company.

    PRECIOUS METAL CONTRACTS

    The Company's hedging policy provides for the use of fixed forward
    contracts to hedge the Company's expected annual gold production. At
    December 31, 2001, the Company had fixed forward contracts outstanding
    as follows:

==============================================================================

Year                            2002        2003      2004       2005    2006

Written call options are  contracts  in which the writer,  for a fee  (premium),
sells the  purchaser  the right,  but not the  obligation,  to buy on a specific
future date a stipulated quantity of gold at a stated price. Gold production for
the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was 109,647,  95,563 and 76,889
ounces, respectively. At December 31, 2001, the Company had written call options

    FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    Fair values of financial instruments and over-the-counter ("OTC")
    contracts are determined based on estimates using net present value,
    Black-Scholes and other valuation techniques. The estimates are
    significantly affected by the assumptions used including current market
    and contractual prices of the underlying instruments, as well as time
    value, and by yield curve and volatility factors underlying the
    positions.

    The carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, marketable
    securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt
    on the balance sheet approximate fair value.

    At December 31, 2001, based on the spot price of US$277 per ounce of
    gold, the mark-to-market values of the Company's precious metals sales
    program was approximately $1,172,699.

    CREDIT AND MARKET RISK

    The Company enters into financial agreements (financial instruments)
    with major international banks and other international financial
    institutions in order to hedge underlying revenue exposures arising
    from commodity prices and interest rates. Financial instruments, which
    subject the Company to market risk and concentrations of credit risk,
    consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, securities and fixed
    forward contracts and option contracts for metals.

    Market risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might
    be adversely affected by a change in commodity prices, interest rates,
    or currency exchange rates. The Company manages the market risk
    associated with commodity prices, interest rates, and currency exchange
    rates by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types
    and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.

    Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty might fail to fulfill its
    performance obligations under the terms of a derivative contract or
    accounts receivable. The Company limits the amount of credit exposure
    in cash and securities by placing these financial instruments in high
    quality securities issued by

    government agencies, financial institutions and major corporations and
    by diversifying its holdings. The Company also has concentrations of
    credit risk with respect to accounts receivable as large amounts of its
    accounts receivable are primarily concentrated amongst a small number
    of customers in Venezuela and Uruguay. These receivables are primarily
    with government banks in Venezuela and Uruguay and one other
    international bank. The Company does not anticipate any losses for
    non-performance on these receivables. As at December 31, 2001, two
    customers accounted for accounts receivable greater than 10% of total
    accounts receivable.

    The Company only uses OTC instruments in its metal program. These
    instruments are relatively straightforward contracts and involve little
    complexity. The Corporation is exposed to credit risk in the event of
    non-performance by counterparties in connection with its metal forward
    and option contracts. The Company does not obtain any security to
    support financial instruments subject to credit risk but mitigates this
    risk by dealing only with a diverse group of financially sound
    counterparties and, accordingly, does not anticipate loss for
    non-performance. Further, the Company minimizes its credit risk in
    derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality
    counterparties whose credit ratings are high and by monitoring the
    financial condition of its counterparties. The Company continually
    monitors the market risk of its activities.

19. UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

    These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada
    ("Canadian GAAP"). Material variations in the accounting principles,
    practices and methods used in preparing these consolidated financial
    statements from principles, practices and methods accepted in the
    United States ("United States GAAP") and in SEC Regulation S-X are
    described and quantified below.

    Under United States GAAP, these consolidated financial statements would
    be referred to as combined consolidated financial statements (Note 17).

    (1) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

        The United States Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has
        issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
        123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", which became
        effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This
        statement requires the Company to establish a fair market value
        based method of accounting for stock based compensation plans. In
        1996, for United States reporting purposes, the Company adopted
        SFAS No. 123 in accounting for its stock option plan. Canadian GAAP
        does not require the reporting of any stock based compensation
        expense in the Company's financial statements.

        The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to
        determine the fair value of employee stock options at the issuance
        date. In determining the fair value of these employee stock
        options, the following assumptions were used:

         (2) MINERAL PROPERTIES AND EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS


             Under Canadian GAAP, mineral properties, including exploration,
             development and acquisition costs, are carried at cost and written
             down if the properties are abandoned, sold or if management decides
             not to pursue the properties. Under United States GAAP, mineral
             property expenditures are expensed as incurred. Once a final
             feasibility study has been completed, additional costs incurred to
             bring the mine into production are capitalized as development
             costs. Costs incurred to access ore bodies identified in the
             current mining plan after production has commenced are considered
             production costs and are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred to
             extend production beyond those areas identified in the mining plan
             where additional reserves have been established are deferred as
             development costs until the incremental reserves are produced.
             Capitalized costs are amortized using the unit-of-production method
             over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and
             probable reserves.

         (3) ACCOUNTING FOR IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED
             ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF

             For United States reporting purposes, the Company has adopted SFAS
             No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
             for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". In the event that facts
             and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
             not be recoverable and an estimate of future undiscounted cash
             flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment
             loss will be recognized. Management's estimates of gold prices,
             recoverable proven and probable reserves, operating capital, and
             reclamation costs are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
             which may affect the recoverability of the Company's investment in
             property, plant, and equipment. Although management has made its
             best estimate of these factors based on current conditions, it is
             possible that changes could occur which could adversely affect
             management's estimate of the net cash flow expected to be generated
             from its operations.

             The Santa Elena, San Miguel and Carobobo, Cristinas 4 and 6 and
             Knob Hill properties, which have a total capitalized mineral
             property and exploration and development costs of $47,357,210 for
             Canadian reporting purposes, have been written down for United
             States reporting purposes, as they have no determinable proven or
             probable reserves. As a result of a study of gold reserves of its
             mineral properties, the Company has recorded a $4,666,481 (2000 -
             $12,643,590; 1999 - $5,497,813) write-down of its investment in
             mineral properties for United States reporting purposes. Since the
             fair value of the Company's other properties exceed their
             capitalized cost, there has been no adjustment to the cost of these
             properties. The estimated fair value of the properties would vary
             if future conditions do not occur in accordance with assumptions.

             Under United States GAAP, the Albino 1 Concessions have been
             restated to write-off the excess of the carrying value over the
             discounted cash flows. See (9) RESTATEMENT OF UNITED STATES GAAP
             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

         (4) MARKETABLE SECURITIES

             For Canadian GAAP purposes short term marketable securities are
             carried at the lower of aggregate cost or current market value,
             with any unrealized loss included in the statements of operations.

             In May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
             Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", which became effective
             for years beginning after December 31, 1993. The statement requires
             that certain investments be classified into available-for-sale or
             trading securities stated at fair market values. Any unrealized
             holding gains or losses are to be reported as a separate component
             of shareholders' equity until realized for available-for-sale
             securities, and included in earnings for trading securities. Under
             SFAS No. 115, the Company's investment in marketable securities in
             the amount of $235,901 would be classified as trading securities
             and its investment in long-term investment securities in the amount
             of $2,643,338 would be classified as available-for-sale securities.

             Under United States GAAP, the available-for-sale securities have
             been restated to recognize an other-than-temporary decline in
             market value. See (9) Restatement of United States GAAP Financial
             Statements.

         (5)  ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

              Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133,
              "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as
              amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
              Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities".

              At December 31, 2001, the Company's hedging contracts used to
              reduce exposure to precious metal prices, consisted of forward
              sales contracts. The Company settles these contracts through the
              physical delivery of production from its operations at the
              contract settlement dates. Therefore, the forward sales contracts
              meet the criteria for the normal purchases and sales exemption of
              SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138. Accordingly, recognition
              of the precious metals forward sales contract will continue to be
              deferred until settlement. Under Canadian GAAP and United States
              GAAP, written call options are recognized on the balance sheet as
              a liability measured at fair value (referred to as mark-to-market
              under United States GAAP) with subsequent changes in the fair
              value of the liability recognized in earnings in the period of
              change.

         (6) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

              In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130 "Reporting
              Comprehensive Income". SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the
              reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
              (revenue, expenses, gains and losses). The purpose of reporting
              comprehensive income is to present a measure of all changes in
              shareholders' equity that result from recognized transactions and
              other economic events of the year, other than transactions with
              owners in their capacity as owners.

          (7) CONVERTIBLE NOTES


              Under Canadian GAAP, the Company presents the separate equity and
              liability components of the convertible notes. The equity portion
              of the convertible notes is calculated by determining the carrying
              amount of the convertible notes by discounting the stream of
              future payments of interest and principal at the prevailing market
              rate for a similar liability that does not have an associated
              equity component. The carrying amount of the equity portion
              represented by the option to convert the convertible notes into
              common shares is then determined by deducting the carrying amount
              of the convertible notes form the amount of the compound
              instrument as a whole. Any beneficial conversion features or
              contingently adjustable conversion ratios are recorded as interest
              expense at the date of issuance.

(7)       CONVERTIBLE NOTES (CONT'D.....)

              Under United States GAAP, this accounting policy is not permitted
              unless the convertible notes are issued with stock purchase
              warrants, beneficial conversion features or contingently
              adjustable conversion ratios, in which case a separate equity and
              liability component of the convertible notes is recorded upon
              issuance. The allocation is based on the relative fair value of
              the two securities at time of issuance. The beneficial conversion
              feature or contingently adjustable conversion ratios, if any, are
              recorded as a reduction of the debt and amortized over the term of
              the note by recording additional interest expense.

              Under United States GAAP, interest expense related to the
              beneficial conversion features of the convertible notes has been
              restated to reflect the reduction of the debt and amortization
              method. See (9) RESTATEMENT OF UNITED STATES GAAP FINANCIAL
              STATEMENTS.

         (8) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

              In March 2000, the Accounting Standards Board of the CICA issued
              Accounting Guideline No. 11 entitled Enterprises in the
              Development Stage - ("AcG 11"). The guideline addresses three
              distinct issues: (i) capitalization of cost/expenditures, (ii)
              impairment, and (iii) disclosure. Prior to its issuance,
              development stage entities were exempt from certain aspects of
              Canadian GAAP. AcG 11 will require that all companies account for
              a transaction based on the underlying characteristics of the
              transaction rather than the maturity of the enterprise. In
              addition, AcG 11 will require specific disclosure of information
              by development stage companies. The guideline is effective no
              later than fiscal periods beginning on or after April 1, 2000,
              which is the Company's 2001 fiscal year. The Company is aware that
              there are two alternative views of how AcG 11 affects mining
              companies with respect to the deferral of exploration costs. CICA
              Handbook Section 3061 "Property, Plant and Equipment" in paragraph
              21 states "For mining property, the cost of the asset includes
              exploration costs if the enterprise considers that such costs have
              the characteristics of property, plant and equipment." The Company
              considers that exploration costs meeting the criteria set out in
              note 2 to have the characteristics of property, plant and
              equipment and accordingly defers such costs. Under the view
              adopted by the Company, deferred exploration costs would not
              automatically be subject to regular assessments of recoverability,
              unless conditions, such as those discussed in AcG 11, exist.

              In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business
              Combinations", which supersedes Accounting Principles Board
              ("APB") Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 38,
              "Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased
              Enterprises". Concurrently, the Accounting Standards Board ("ASB")
              in Canada issued CICA Handbook Section 1581, "Business
              Combinations", which is consistent with SFAS No. 141. This
              statement will change the accounting for business combinations and
              goodwill. SFAS No. 141 and CICA Handbook Section 1581 require that
              the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
              combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the
              pooling-of-interests method is no longer permitted. This statement
              also establishes criteria for separate recognition of intangible
              assets acquired in a purchase business combination. This statement
              also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the
              purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001,
              or later.

19. UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (cont'd.....)

         (8) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONT'D.....)

             In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and
             other Intangible Assets", which supersedes APB Opinion No. 17,
             "Intangible Assets". Concurrently, the ASB in Canada issued CICA
             Handbook Section 3062, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets",
             which is consistent with SFAS No. 142. This statement requires that
             goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be
             reviewed for impairment. This statement is effective for fiscal
             years beginning after December 15, 2001, and is required to be
             applied at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year and to be
             applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in
             its financial statements at that date. Impairment losses for
             goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that arise due to
             the initial application of this statement (resulting from a
             transitional impairment test) are to be reported as resulting from
             a change in accounting principle. Under an exception to the date at
             which this statement becomes effective, goodwill and intangible
             assets acquired after June 30, 2001, will be subject immediately to
             the non-amortization and amortization provisions of this statement.

             In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
             Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"), which addresses financial
             accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the
             retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset
             retirement costs. Currently, expenditures related to ongoing
             environmental activities are charged against earnings as incurred.
             Estimated reclamation and closure costs including site
             rehabilitation are accrued by annual charges to earnings over the
             estimated useful life of the mine. Under SFAS 143, the Company will
             recognize the liability as part of the asset cost and depreciate it
             over the estimated useful life. The Company has not yet determined
             the impact of this statement on its financial statements.

             In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
             Impairment on Disposal of Long-lived Assets" (SFAS 144), which
             supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
             Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of".
             SFAS No. 144 applies to all long-lived assets (including
             discontinued operations) and consequently amends APB Opinion No.
             30, "Reporting Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of
             Disposal of a Segment of a Business". SFAS No. 144 requires that
             long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at
             the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. That
             requirement eliminates APB Opinion No. 30's requirement that
             discontinued operations be measured at net realizable value or that
             entities include under "discontinued operations" in the financial
             statements amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred.
             Additionally, SFAS No. 144 expands the scope; of discontinued
             operations to include all components of an entity with operations
             that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2)
             will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a
             disposal transaction. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial
             statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
             2001, and, generally, its provisions are to be applied
             prospectively. The Company has not yet determined the impact of
             this statement on its financial statement.

         (9) RESTATEMENT OF UNITED STATES GAAP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

             The Company determined that it must amend the accounting treatment
             for the following items under United States GAAP:


             The carrying value of the Albino 1 Concessions as at December 31,
             2001, which consists of deferred exploration costs of CDN$6,162,666
             and mineral property costs of CDN$17,710,939, exceeds the
             discounted cash flows based on the estimated future net cash flows
             of the property (which considers current proven and probable
             mineral reserve, estimated future commodity price realization,
             operating costs, future capital expenditures, project financing
             costs and other related costs) of CDN$1,747,426. As a result, an
             impairment loss should be recognized which will increase the
             Company's net loss for United States GAAP purposes by $22,126,179.

    (9) RESTATEMENT OF UNITED STATES GAAP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
        (CONT'D.....)

    Available-for-sale securities experienced a continuous decline in
    market value which was determined to be other-than temporary. As a
    result, the Company's net loss for United States GAAP purposes
    increased by $2,033,338.


    Interest expense on the beneficial conversion features of the
    convertible notes has been expensed in full upon issuance under
    Canadian GAAP. Under United States GAAP, the beneficial conversion
    features must be accreted over the life of the convertible note. As a
    result, the Company's net loss for United States GAAP purposes
    decreased by $44,176, which represents the balance that will be
    amortized in future periods under US GAAP. The Company issued
    convertible notes having beneficial conversion features during 2000
    however, the amounts were not significant.

    The Company did not attribute a value to the warrants for the purpose
    of the acquisition transaction of the shares of Mael (Note 17). Under
    United States GAAP, a value should have been attributed to these
    warrants in 1999. As a result, the Company's capital stock and deficit
    for United States GAAP purposes both increased by $2,461,905 during
    2001 and 2000 and loss for the year and capital stock for United States
    GAAP purposes both increased by $2,461,905 during 1999.

    Travel costs capitalized as mineral property costs under Canadian GAAP
    have been expensed under United States GAAP. There has been no effect
    on net loss for United States GAAP purposes as these costs have been
    attributed to exploration stage properties and were therefore
    previously expensed within the US GAAP adjustment eliminating
    exploration costs.

    The following sets forth the effect of the restatements for United
    States GAAP purposes for the year ended December 31, 2001:
