Mr. Charters, why can't you back up anything you say?
<<So you admit you twist and distort to make cheap points. Swell.>>
Again you are distorting. I assume bragadocia and bs in all your posts, but you present them as _FACT_. You present them with the same delivery as all your writing on IPM. None of that is a joke, right?
<<I take it you are going to pretend to be too thick to read what is humour and what is valid claim.>>
Well, no, I take all your claims as humour, as I don't believe a word you say, you have behaved like a charlatan and cheap manipulator and snake oil salesman on IPM. However, just try using <g> or <tic>.
<<There are all kinds of possible producers in North America which were formerly worked. I can't have worked in some and know about others?>>
I asked for 100 of the 200 last time, okay, I'll cut in half again: Please list 50 of them! Can you back up anything you say?
Also please list your syndicate members. You have nothing to hide, right?
<<My claim of the property being drilled is false?>>
I'm refering to your claims of _properties_ plural. You indicated _you_ have owned _many_... These are not jokes, and it is sick to even suggest this -- you have ranted about these former and future properties of yours in posts calling IPM a scam and it's executives criminals.
<<I suppose you could have used a payphone. And It would be diabolical to use your own last name. Why would you do that? Must be a co-incidence.>>
Once again, where are the phone numbers, dates, facts.
Mr. Charters, why can't you back up anyting you say?
<<You are right on though about Naxos. No relation to IPM.>>
I see, so you're trying to paint one in the IPM thread was propaganda tactic. You know what's wierd, your writing has become much more coherent lately -- I think you've got someone helping you now.
<<But the claims are SO similar.>>
<<Similar pseudo environments.>>
Can you back this up?
Plese give us a detailed geological description of the enviornment and why it is "pseudo".
<<Unassayable platinum.>>
No. (Then) inconsistantly assayable. A friend of mine almost a year ago on a visit to IPM requested and recieved a sample, took it home to Europe and ground it to 400 mesh and fire assayed some Pt. out of it. IPM has been very open over the years to all who approached with a half-way open mind. Have you called Martin Hay, former Bateman metalurgist in London yet to get a contact for the mine in Fiji that's been producing gold they _still_ can't assay for decades? Does that mine not exist? Will you stake your reputation on it?
<<Huge values.>>
Not really. Hardrock and quartz vien stuff is much higher. IPM's put numbers ranging from .046 to .3 -- not that big.
<<Strange ratios of gold to platinum.>>
True, but not unprecidented I believe. This was one of my greatest dd concerns a while ago. But the best theory is two separate events could have deposited the metals, hence ratios are out the window. Unlikely? Sure, so was the Carlin Trend, and Voisey Bay, heap leaching and Canada becoming a major diamond producer... but stuff happens. My concerns were ameliorated by many factors:
1. The Vercombes, both PhD's, tremendous backgrounds, totally independent and self-restricted from buying mining shares. I ran into em on-site, living in that desert in a trailer w/no media, and know how sincere these people are -- and unaware of all the stock controversy. They were aware of all kinds of "bloody good reasons to drill for PMs there" and toured me around stockwork and lectured me on dramatic indications of previous massive hydrothermal events.
2. Tom Dodge. This guy is a great Geologist... and a desert dirt _skeptic_... but one with an open-mind and honest heart. I never saw Tom really comfortable until he "dug" and found evidence of a geological model for how the stuff coulda got there -- INCLUDING A NEARBY LIKELY SOURCE -- How ignorant of such an IPM expert like yourself Mr. Charters to have missed that. Or are you calling Mason, to dictate these posts?
3. Terry Christopher. This is one smart Geologist, went on-site twice, and analyzed the envoirnment and bot lots of IPMCF. Terry just finished his PhD, and has worked at a priemier Canadian lab for _years_ !!!
4. Sam Shaw. I've spent more time with Dr. Shaw than any other IPM exec, and have a lot in common with him in our mutual love of New Mexico. Sam is an incredible person, in his 70's, retired from BD, and _Universally_ respected among mining professionals and execs. This guy has experience, inteligence and integrity beyond reproach. Sam told me there is definately gold at BRX, he personally years ago concentrated some... and that's why he kept an open mind and looked further. I figure if Sam said there's gold -- there is -- Period. So if there's gold there, why would they fudge about the Pt.? Claiming _both_ only _hurts_ credibility and makes a company have to take a harder road. A smart stock play or "scam" would never claim both. Certainly not one keeps inviting Chemists and Geologists, and fund managers with metalurgist to visit!
5.My chemist friend in Europe who told me he assayed a bit of Pt long ago... That sorta tied in with #4, made me comfortable there were both.
6.The A.E.Annells article by JPB Sawyer on difficulties in assaying comples ores -- and esp. possible interferences caused by some PGE's. Is it definative, no, of course not...but it's one more piece of the puzzle that says, "keep an open mind". So is the Scientific American article you can't find. And the mine in Fiji.
Now, Mr. Charters. Why can't you give answers and facts to questions like I just did. Why can't you lay out any proof for your libelous defamatory remarks accusing IPM management and Behre-Dolbear of criminal fraud and conspiracy?
<<Same claims of micro fine minerals.>>
Yes, that is recurring theme among the "desert dirts". And Barrick is mining a lot of micro fine minerals in Nevada, "invisible gold" right now. It's just not highly refractory or complex.
<< No source.>>
This is idiodic. Have you read the geology reports? Have you spoken to Terry Christopher or the Vercombes? Have you looked at the Geological Survey for the old producer right above the Black Rock property?
<<Special patentable assay methods.>>
Excuse me, but many mines have had to develop assays. Barrick is recovering more than it assays on the Carlin trend. Why is that? What's wrong with their assay? If it doesn't assay it can't exist, right? So are they a scam?
IPM has difficult to assay ore. That is correct. They are guilty of that. We will stipulate that, okay. IPM's alleged ore is difficult to assay, and can not yield _consistant_ results by the off-the-shelf flux recipes and oven temperatures used at the commercial labs. So they have to come up with a specialized fire assay, and get a major lab to test/approve/and adopt it. That's what they are trying to do.
Great, we've cleared that up. Now what other reason could you possibly have to exist?
<<Take another look at the map>>
I have, and I've driven it all off in a 4wd. Even camped out all around there. And IPMs in a one of the best states for getting a mine going. And IPM would have less impact, and is near fewer homes, than a little company called Phelps-Dodge to the east, where they are tearing _down_ red rock mountain tops for copper. As far as being near a canal, gee, that sounds like a good thing. Vat leaching operations need water. Hey, there are powerlines right on the property, too! Tell us how that's a bad thing! What kind of school is Halleburry -- oh, I forget I'm talking to Coggins now aren't I?
Oh, one more thing, why are you bringing up water/enviornment?
That can't matter if what you say you KNOW is true, right?
Are you:
1. Just attacking anything logical or illogical, to try and scare out shares and hold the stock down?
2. Aknowledging that IPM may have a valid orebody with economincally attractive and extractable amounts of PMs, and hence must worry about if they can eventually get water and permits?
I'll take #2 any day! Most Jr's never get that far!
