"We are not going to speculate on M&A at this time," Chief Executive Marc Oppenheimer said in an interview at the San Francisco Gold Forum. Crystallex (KRY) shares rose more than 20 percent earlier in the week after The Calandra Report (<a href="http://cbs.marketwatch.com/commerce/theCalandraReport.asp?siteid=mktw&dist=emailtc&pname=tcr">http://cbs.marketwatch.com/commerce/theCalandraReport.asp?siteid=mktw&dist=emailtc&pname=tcr</a>), a subscription service owned by CBS MarketWatch, quoted a mining analyst as saying he expects a bid for the entire company before its June 26 annual shareholder meeting. Crystallex shares have been under a cloud for years as it struggled to win government approvals to develop the vast Las Cristinas deposit amid the political turmoil of Venezuela. Those approvals came in September 2002, but investors are skeptical the tiny Toronto company can raise the several hundred million dollars necessary to turn the holding into a full-fledged gold mine. The first phase of the project would cost $250 million, Oppenheimer estimated on Tuesday. Robert Bishop of Gold Mining Stock Report (<a href="http://www.goldminingstockreport.com/">http://www.goldminingstockreport.com/</a>) told The Calandra Report that shares of Crystallex would double or triple after an offer from a mid-sized or large bullion miner. The size of Crystallex's Las Cristinas proven and probable gold reserves is almost 10 million ounces. "I think the company is building itself to be taken out," Bishop, a longtime mining analyst and financial writer, said. More later this week in The Calandra Report (<a href="http://cbs.marketwatch.com/commerce/theCalandraReport.asp?siteid=mktw&dist=emailtc&pname=tcr">http://cbs.marketwatch.com/commerce/theCalandraReport.asp?siteid=mktw&dist=emailtc&pname=tcr</a>). Crystallex's Oppenheimer said his company fully intends to pursue financing of the Venezuela deposit. "Our objective is to build the project. We've built the management team." _______________________________________________________________________ A former Barrick Corp. (ABX) officer, Ken Thomas, is now Crystallex chief operating officer, Oppenheimer noted. Crystallex had $34 million of debt as of March 31. Oppenheimer estimated the company's reserve assets - proven and provable gold ounces in the ground -- were worth as much as $45 a share. Crystallex shares Tuesday midday were selling for $1.20 on the American Stock Exchange. "Our ability to produce gold will not be limited by our reserves," he said at the gold forum, sponsored by Denver Gold Group, a trade organization. The CEO said he expects a feasibility study on the development of Las Cristinas into a 20,000-tonne-per-day open-pit mine to be published by SNC-Lavalin by September of this year. The company has hired Deutsche Bank to help arrange project financing. "Deutsche Bank has met with the Venezuela government, and I think that speaks for itself," he said. "I would make the argument that Crystallex's shares are severely undervalued." Oppenheimer and his fellow executives now must hope the investing public begins to feel the same way. _______________________________________________________________________ FIND OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING OFF WALL STREET Get a weekly roundup with the latest investment newsletter insights and strategies from star columnists Mark Hulbert, Peter Brimelow, Thom Calandra, and guest editors.

SEC TO PROBE PENTHOUSE BOOKS By PAUL THARP June 14, 2003 -- After 40 years of travails, Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione is now getting probed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The racy magazine and adult video empire said yesterday that the SEC is investigating its books for all of 2002 and its first-quarter of 2003. In a regulatory filing, Penthouse said it was cooperating fully with the SEC probe, which also includes the way it handles accounting of a Web site management agreement as well as its hiring of new auditors. Guccione and its auditor, Eisner LLP, had gotten into a dispute over a quarterly report, prompting Eisner to resign as its accountant. Penthouse shares closed yesterday in bulletin board trading at $2.65, down 10 cents. Penthouse said the SEC had advised it that the inquiry should not be construed as an indication that the publisher had broken any laws. The company did identify certain factual errors in its most recent quarterly report to investors, filed on May 23. It said the mistakes, relating to transactions with subsidiaries of its parent company, General Media Inc., were inadvertent. "Investors are urged not to rely on the quarterly report," the company said in its SEC filing yesterday. "As previously disclosed, (Penthouse) intends to file an amended Form 10-Q for its quarter ended March 31, 2003 as soon as possible." Guiccione founded his magazine in 1965 and has conquered cancer, censors trying to shut him down and bankruptcy perils that wiped out some of his personal fortune. He company has expanded into licenses of gentlemen's clubs, videos, fashion, games and other branded items. Paul Tharp
