Joe,

You read alot more into my posting than is really there. Being unethical doesn't mean being a scam.

IPM, and all other jr. gold mining companies, toe a fine line between promoting their play to create enough enthusiasm in the equity market to obtain financing ...and... releasing factual information. I think IPM for months has veered too much toward the promotion side. In my mind, that is unethical. Particularly, if it's intentional.

I really don't think IPM is a scam. I've stated that before. And my reason for that belief is because in June the company became a U.S. reporting company, which means the company now falls under the US SEC laws. If I were a scam I certainly wouldn't open myself up to that. I'd stay away from SEC as long as I could.

The weekend after 11/14, I spent several hours reading the past PRs and 10Q(s). I read them with an intent to answer the following questions. I was amazed as the answers I got. Anyone doing the same, will likely be surprised by what they find.

1. How do the assay results compare between releases?
2. How do the recovery results compare between releases?
[You'll be amazed at how interchangeably 'assay' & 'recovery' are used. It's frequently difficult to tell whether results pertained to an assay process or a recovery process]

3. How are the roles of Behre Dolbear & Co., Inc. noted by IPM in the various releases?
4. What are the results of all the work Behre Dolbear & Co., Inc. has done in 1997?
5. What happened to the concentrate(s) sent to refiner(s)?
6. What happened to Lycopodium?
7. What happened to the Vearncombes?
8. What happened to Thomas Dodge and his work at BRN?
9. How much has IPM spent on penalties to Omega Investments?

Spending 4 hours on this task was very helpful in deciphering the info IPM had released to date.
