Here is an e-mail I received from Peter Boonen this morning:
01 July, 1997
To: Hunter Vann From: Peter Boonen For release to all
IMMM, or today more correctly NAMX, obviously feels that it does not need to keep shareholders and the public informed on significant material issues. As Theo and others have requested reliable information and the Company will not provide the detail I, to the best of my knowledge. Shareholders are joint owners of this Company and, together with the investing public, have a right to know the real state of material issues.
1. I was supposedly removed as President, CEO on March 23, 1997 and as a Director on March 31, 1997. The Company did not announce this material issue until Jun 9, 1997. 2. In a publication circulated by Paul Ebeling on May 16, 1997 to the investment industry on behalf of IMMM they claimed to have canceled substantial lawfully issued shares associated with my interests. At this time no shares had been canceled. 3. On about May 14, 1997 Paul Ebeling was formerly appointed to the Board although he had already been involved with Maloney and Stamm for some time prior. He was appointed as Secretary/Treasurer (not CEO which he appears to assume). This was not announced until June 9, 1997 for release to all. 4. On May 14, 1997 in a Company release supposedly originated by Jesse Taylor shareholders were assured the "rapid decline" in share price was due to "aggressive and manipulated short selling". There was NO short selling apart from possibly some insider dealing. This, together with the various rumors being circulated, and Paul Ebeling's advice to numerous parties to average down was all concocted to create a market for an EXPLOSION in share capital. 5. The Company today has approximately 40 MILLION shares on issue. This is a material issue of significance, especially when shareholders are being told certain shares have been canceled and there is no need for concern with a rapid price decline due to aggressive and manipulated shortselling. Mind you, there could in fact be more than 40 million shares. No one at the Company feels a need to report this material matter. 6. I believe that the contracts with the Stamm companies, Zurich Holding Company and Patroclos Finanz AG. have been re-negotiated on the false pretext that they were at end. The re-negotiation, I believe, substantially disadvantages IMMM. Again, the company will not disclose detail. 7. Jesse Taylor, the Company Chairman, who amongst many other achievements has lectured on Corporate Management at Yale Law School, resigned from the Company on June 9, 1997. Based on Mr Taylor's advice to me he resigned as he became aware of share issues to Steven Antebi and Paul Ebeling interests and associates which had no Board approval or formal authority for issue. He also became aware of numerous irregularities and misrepresentations, was unable to achieve lawful corporate governance under his Chairmanship and, therefore, he felt he had no alternative but to resign. Again, the Company does not appear to believe it is in shareholder interests to be aware of this major material issue, the Chairman's resignation and the real circumstances thereof. 8. Since early March I have questioned certain aspects of Prof. Dr. Stamm's claimed technology, demanded the Company's rightful entitlement to security over this technology and further, requested physical substantiation of Stamm's claim to have flown over the South East Colorado property. I did not receive Board support in these issues and have since been the subject of a very deliberate and vindictive smear campaign by certain Company officers and associates. The issues, however, I believe are still major and material. Today nothing has been done about them to my knowledge.
In conclusion, whether the rumor of three good holes out of three ultimately proves to be attributable to Stamm's good science, which is a distinct possibility, or, to his inside knowledge of existing geological data, which is also a distinct possibility, is today not as important as: a) How many shares on issue? b) What is the contractual basis today of the Company assets? How has it changed? c) What were Stamm interests ultimately paid? d) Who is running this Company and why no contact numbers for the CEO and principle Seattle office? e) Who are the "new" shareholders of some 25 million shares and what was the consideration? f) Are these shares being issued with inside knowledge of South East Colorado results (Ebeling claims a major hit and an easy $20 share price on release of information)? g) Who is selling? Why? h) Why did Taylor resign? i) What happened to the $1,250,000 financing announced February 13, 1997? j) On May 14, 197 when, by announcement, shareholders were comforted and encouraged to buy shares, had new shares been issued? If so, how many? When were balance of shares issued? Why was Ebeling's appointment not announced same day? (It appears that he authored the release.) k) On June 9, 1997 in a supposed Company release from Taylor was the Company aware that he had already resigned? Under the circumstances, why was his resignation not mentioned? How can the Company support this release from a resigned officer? l) After having previously been mislead by Ebeling interests why did Maloney encourage and support the Ebeling Board appointment, especially as it was opposed by Taylor?
There are probably many more. I suggest that if you can find a contact number for the Company CEO, Michael Stamm, ask him to explain, alternatively, write to the Company's office in Seattle or contact Kevin Maloney in Sydney on 612 9241 4576. These are the guys responsible for today's dilemma. Ask them the hard questions. Ask them why? Record their answers. I would like to thank all shareholders that supported the Company under my management and to assure them that until this Company becomes corporately responsible I will continue to do whatever I can as best I can to ensure that their interests are protected.
Yours Sincerely,
Peter Boonen |
