Don't know if you will get a response from CL. I will try and adress a few
of your issues and some others in this thread

<<Why don't you address the technical issues>>. The facts are that
nobody of reputation has on any of these fine gold/complex ore plays.
That is why all these stocks are at a few $$ or less and this is what
you are speculating in if you buy any of these stocks.

IPM will adress these with their work with BD and the other players are
trying to prove this through actual recovery and even if they recover gold
this still does not mean it is economical. There are other mining issues to
deal with.

In an earlier post you stated that you don't understand much about mining, but
your background is scientific. This is most likely why you don't have an
appreciation for what IPM is doing. IPM is the only company among these plays
that is taking a typical mining approach to their property.

This is by first drilling and assaying to prove they have the metal. In convential
mining exploration, you do not demonstrate recovery until you prove you have something
to recover. Economical recovery is the next thing to prove once you have drilled reserves/resources
on your property. Like most mining companies IPM has already done some work on recovery to
the point that they are convinced to continue with the property.

BTW, it does matter to prove up a bankable reserve as this can be an asset on the compnies
balance sheet.

About the hard rock source. There has been a lot of work done here. There is the Creelman
geological report. THis is more than I have seen from any other of the players.
I have met with IPM's recently hired geologist and have discussed his
work on the hard rock material and I for one can hardly wait to see some
assays on this. There is all kinds of evidence of old mine workings and
quartz veins on the property. I have met and spoke with a person who has
actually panned gold from the property. I believe the reason IPM has not assyed
these yet is why put out more assay results if nobody believes them.
I personally believe we will see higher grades from the hard rock. This is just
my own opinion

The BD report is to address the assay issue and then we should see lots of assay news.
News is what drives a junior mining exploration stock.

IMO, I really don't think it matters a whole lot what is said here to affect
the stock price one way or another. Any serious and/or wise investor or institution
does plenty of their own DD and I doubt whether this includes reading SI threads. IMO, the
influence of these threads is for small investors.

It is my opinion that a number of large investors, institutions and\some newsletter writers are
on the sidelines awaiting news from the BD report. If this is positive and these ones on the
sidelines become buyers, IPM stock will go much higher and it won't amount to anymore than
a hill of beans what is said here by me, CL or anyone whether naysayers or not.

As you know, I recommend buying IPM and I do own some stock. I will also buy and sell some of
the other players from time to time. IMO, if you want to be an investor in this area play. IPM
is a must for your portfolio. They are the most advanced of any of the other players in the
eyes of mining people and institutions. I think this will soon be proven out

There is money to be madein most of thes plays, good luck with what ever
route you take
