Furry you asked for thoughts.
after sleeping on it and rereading the posts.
Good points and news:
There was a confirmation for an assay procedure for gold that was performed by a registered Arizona lab.

Gold and platinum were confirmed present by independent verification.

Fire assays are almost always lower than recovery-Karl Zetmeir
Meaning we probably will recover more than assayed-perhaps much more

Arizona department of mines look like a bunch of idiots-Don Potenza
And vindictive to

Ore has come back that would not standard assay yet recoveres .2oz.
Strenlich
Maybe we too can get .2 or better?

A heapleach mine needs only .02 opt to be economical-Bob Marklee

Once you can consistantly fire assay metal it can be extracted-Lew G.

This is the same ore that IPM was reporting .8opt-Karl Zetmeir

now wouldn't that make a difference on the ol bottom line

The assayed silver is worth about 80% of the gold-John Wetterau
Gee another likely profit center

Bateman Engineering is staying on to develop and expand the program
internationally recognized management that's nice

Doyle writes that he is finalizing $10mm using a convertable note tied to 125% of IPM's share market price.That makes me think he is pretty sure of the sucess of IPM and so are others.IPM and Omega are extending the time on the payment of the money for the property .That 's positive the whole thing begins to sound like a win win deal.
I got so excited on that one I forgot to note the author sorry

IPM management was smart enough to post the report on Friday after close.this prevented a massive selloff.
Do you suppose that they wanted calmer heads to analyse this?

Bad news and points
IPM stock probably won't close above 100 on monday
Now that really hurts

The flippers won't be able to make a huge profit on monday
This doesn't hurt so much either

Conclusion:
They have the goods
Gold verified in commercial amounts
Silver verified in commercial amounts
Platinum verified existance suspected to be in commercial amounts

They have the management internationally respected in Bateman.
They have financing in place
Heavens they might even have a plan on how they want to get to production.

Now ask yourself
Are there any mines in this world that make money producing almost exclusively gold?
Are there any mines that make money producing mostly platinum?
Are there any mines in North America that produce Gold ,silver and platinum at the same site all in commercial quantity?
If there were such a mine would it not be priced at a premium sense it was producing strategic metals in a political safe environment?

Also ask yourself
If you were a fund manager in the mining sector would you not be aware that midas is generally perceived to be the premier fund?
Would you not be aware that Midas did not invest in brex and that you probably did.they made you look pretty silly didn't they?
Midas is a confirmed investor in IPM.If you were a fund manager would you be willing to take the chance that Midas has found a shooting star and that you were too stupid to invest in it.If Midas made you look like a fool again would you still have a job?
I think the funds will be buying in ernest this week and that Ron Struthers will be proven correct in the end.

P.S. I took a big bite of humble pie yesterday.I was guilty of irrational exuberance.
