He figures out that this might be a Bre-X type situation, too good to be true, and sells when MINE hits $1.00 plus, quitting his day job and moving on. He had private placement shares, cheap shares. ______________________________________________________________ To: knight who wrote (1161) 3/20/1998 3:04:00 PM From: brent hyatt Read Replies (2) of 33618 To All, Quite a time back, I read some SEC filings on this company, and correct me if I'm wrong, but this used to be a fly by night finance company that was on the verge of bankruptcy before the "big gold find". It was ran by a husband and wife team and was forever in trouble with nonfiling of required SEC reports. I haven't kept up with recent doings, but one thing I have learned is that above ALL other considerations, management integrity must be pristine. I'm afraid this smacks of a con game along the same lines of International Precious Metals or other small time scams. Good Luck _______________________________________________________________ To: brent hyatt who wrote (1247) 3/20/1998 3:35:00 PM From: CIMA Read Replies (3) of 33618 But you raise a good point. I thought this was taken over as a shell by Ron and Mary. Was this Ron and Mary's financial company before turning to gold mining? Doug, Eric, Brian, et al, what is the story on this? Just looking to fill in a few more historical holes. P.S. Brian, I agree that the situation is much different today but Brent is right 95% of the time. _______________________________________________________________ To: CIMA who wrote (1249) 3/20/1998 4:21:00 PM From: Jay Z. Read Replies (1) of 33618 CIMA, your question is right on, this was a shell company for Ron's financial company. Everyone must remember that this is Ron Knittles company, not Mary's or Terry's. Officially, It is Mary's and officially Terry is the President, but Ron still runs the show from his home office. He put everything in Mary's name so his ex-wives could not get any of it. Also because of the legal problems he has had time and again. Ron is a sweet talker (even though he never returns or takes phone calls), which is how they worked their way into Bolivia. GE has overcome alot of obstacles. If you speak with them they will tell you God wants them to be successful. I am impressed with their desire to improve the lifestyle of the people in Bolivia. I hope it's not all PR. Ask Ron what he plans to do with the Gold? I know he doesn't plan on selling most of it, or releasing it into the market. How will this effect the share price? _______________________________________________________________ Ah, the history of GE, what a story. Should be told.
