CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- President Hugo Chavez appeared to cast doubt Tuesday on a Canadian company's plans to develop a major gold mine in Venezuela, saying it belonged to the state.

The Toronto-based company Crystallex International Corp. has said it will spend $265 million (euro217 million) building the Las Cristinas gold mine and a processing plant. Chavez said in a televised speech Tuesday that the mine will be exploited through a new state company.

"Las Cristinas belongs to Venezuela. We will build a national mining company there," he said.

It wasn't immediately clear how the president's position would affect the plans of Crystallex.

Crystallex officials weren't immediately available for comment.
