Welcome to joining the FMNJ message boards -

well, its good FMNJ info -
to repeat --
Ex.
Like to just take a second and say hello to all of the other FMNJ investors.
I have been investing in FMNJ since march 2006. Yes, I rode
it up in late April and back down on Black Monday!
I have enjoyed reading most of the posts over the past year. Special thanks to Truehart, NYBOB, Financial Advisor, and
many others both positive and negative on here.
I am joining the board because on occasion I have had some peripheral contact with FMNJ.
I felt like it was time to add to the discussion.
So here is what has happened to me since last year......
1. I have contacted Andrew Austins office on occasion and
this past Spring got to know a recent college grad working
in the office. Instead of just answering the questions I had, we talked at length about his personal contact with Jaime M.
I asked alot of questions dealing with Jaimes Bolivian background, his commitment to the company and both mining and GTL projects etc.
Additionally, he told me of how Andrew would not represent
FMNJ until he had personally traveled with Jaime to Bolivia
and reviewed the business plan and operations.
This was to ensure that Austins own reputation would not be damaged if FMNJ was not legit.
Apparently Andrew was more than convinced.
So I have concluded that Andrew Austin is a valuable and reliable asset to keep us informed of FMNJ activity.
2. Trying to perform some Due Diligence I followed up on one of the latest PRs and contacted TECNA to confirm FMNJs recent announcement. I spoke with an older gentlemen in the company and asked if he had any knowledge of FMNJ or if his company
put out any internal memos or a PR.
He said that he would be happy to make a few phone calls.
This occurred last Wednesday. I figured I would probabely not hear back from him.
Yesterday the cell phone rings and it is the gentlemen from TECNA.
I was frankly surprised but happy to hear he took the time to contact their South American offices and in fact found out
that they are working with FMNJ as reported on plans for
the GTL project.
He went on to take the time and answer a few questions about TECNA for me. Apparently they are the Big Leagues and he was somewhat surprised they were working with a company like FMNJ becasue they normally work with much larger more established companies. Cudos to Jaime and Bill Petty for involving TECNA!!
3. Lastly I was on business trip 2 months ago in Newark.
At the hotel bar I was having dinner when I overheard three people aty the end of the bar discussing trading gold...well
I piped up with "anyone into silver?" One guy said yes.
I told him about investing in a small company mining silver
in Bolivia. He asked the name and I said Franklin Mining. Quote.."Never heard of it." The BIG RED FLAG went up!!!
Than he asked..."Who is heading that up?" I said a couple guys named Jamie Melgarjo and William Petty. Than he said....."Oh, Bill Petty I know him." Well, I said you "Know" Bill Petty???? Yep met him often he said. Well over the next 2 hours we
talked Bill Petty and opportunities in Bolivia.
He was an older gentlemen from Canada in the mining industry off and on for over 20 yrs.
One of the quotes I have in my mind from this conversation
was when he said "If Bill Petty is involved, it must be a legitimate project."
So fellow FMNJers that is what I have to contribute.
Again I am convinced that this is a great opportunity and
Jaime and Bill are in this for the long haul to succeed.
I look forward to the next 12 months!!
Good luck to all of you...I will participate on occasion
but I am way past some of the juvenile name calling
that happens here once in a while.
I hope we all follow up with any info we come accross!!
