The recent erosion in shareholder value, combined with delays in achieving critical corporate and project milestones on a timely basis forces Patagonia Capital to defer its investment coverage of MDHM
Subsequent to issuing our initial buy recommendation on Medinah Mining in September 1999, we have been troubled by the lack of timely progress made by MDHM towards achieving key corporate and project objectives and the resulting negative impact on share prices.
Our earlier recommendation of MDHM was based primarily on our due diligence site visit to Chile, a review of technical data related to the Alto de Lipangue and Dos Marias properties (including the Howe Chile Ltda. reports), as well as representations made by management as to timely completion of significant pending corporate events and developments.
In the weeks since the company's Annual General Meeting in Reno on October 25th, there has been a lack of news offering concrete evidence that the Company will be able to restore the recent erosion of shareholder value in the immediate future. The Company has been unable to offer any substantial news to the market in recent months, and we believe that a credibility gap has developed. On the positive side, however, we still believe strongly in the long-term exploration potential of the Dos Marias and Lipangue properties - both projects have significant upside, and are certainly worthy of further drilling.
We are working with Medinah Mining's management and the Board of Directors to address and help resolve these issues and concerns. Patagonia Capital will issue further comments when measurable progress (either positive or negative) has been made, and the Company's situation has become clearer.
