To: Phil Jones who wrote (178 ) 8/1/2001 7:38:21 PM From: d:oug Respond to of 695 "Best to let it rust than to sell it a firesale price." Phil yes & no or survival based on the cows coming home ain't the best way to wait especially if a company already has good dirt in the Northwest territories and if at present its as if this company is under water holding its breath waiting for the price of gold to raise upwards and push upwards this company so that its head is above the water line, for a breath. My current speculation of Tyhee is that Dave obtained through the direct actions of a 20 to 1 consolidation with name change, plus in more speculation of me, required to plan the future success of Tyhee based completely on activity that excluded any help from any activity directly obtained from a wait & hope and continuing trying to resolve the Mongolian sad state of affairs where leaders both governmental and private of Mongolia will give this foreign company of ours the shafted screw-job based on them having the home-court advantage allowing them to side-step both their own laws, and the international business and commerce laws they talked but refuse to walk. Bottom line, if the gata war with the current focus on the usa government doing a cover-up on the appearance of the Duck Test resulting in the following article being on-target, July 23, 2001 What Is Happening to America's Gold? by James Turk © by The Freemarket Gold & Money Report., then one can expect either outcome, with no-change in the price of gold not being a possibility. 1.Nixon era Watergate type scandal, causing price of gold to explode upwards $500 - $5,000 2.Nixon era Watergate type scandal, causing crashing world economies to implement controls onto the price of gold keeping it at $290 forever. So Phil, to take $100 for bumbat today, or to take a $300 for bumbat tomorrow with the tomorrow sale price of $300 also having the possibility to be $10 forever is an easy decision if Tyhee had a revenue stream, or if Tyhee has an official company news release stating a development in the data collected from tests on the areas being looked at to show that rather than ask outsiders for new investment cash, the data will create a reverse in that outside cash will ask Tyhee "Please accept our money so that we can join you in..." As for contacts from others in regard to Bumbat, i will speculate that the only offers had these qualifiers. 1. Fire-sale price offers AND 2. These person places or things had direct contact with those leaders, both governmental and private of Mongolia, that are preventing Tyhee/MGR from a fair and legal settlement or outcome. a.k.a. Only those with assurance to these Mongolian leaders that they will not be shafter as MGR/Tyhee was/is are able to enter into the fixed and corrupt game to obtain Bumbat. Bumbat in my opinion will remain a pox'ed mark on the face of the nation of Mongolia. To me at this present time, if Dave Webb knows that a certain amount of cash can move or develope Tyhee into that place or level he understands as safe & sound for the long term future, the i say dump Bumbat and do this for a long term future success of Tyhee. For example, dispose Bumbat for 1/100 (one hundredth) of what its worth would be for a price of gold at $290 if that cash could be put towards above mentioned "will make a difference to Tyhee long term." Sorry Phil, but my hold on shares here is eXtra long, as in i will pass them on to others in about 35 years. dougak
