Chatters, if you would only read a little : exchange2000.com instead of flapping your gums, you wouldn't be demonstrating your ignorance. You don't need Viagra, you have IPM.

Chartless Thats a bunch of bullchit and you know it. IPM has not been "kicked off" the CDN. Reports, financials and disclosure are not a problem at all with the listings dept at the OTC. Call them and see. Recent IPM financials - freeedgar.com Listing requirements for CDNOTC - tse.com Check out "Guide To Quotation" under the "Acrobat Reader Logo" You'll need Adobe Acrobat to read the files. Guide to Quotation - Pg.1 CDN POLICY - "Securities that are cease traded, suspended or delisted in any jurisdiction or by a stock exchange will not qualify for quotation on the CDN System......this will require that the Board be satisfied that there are no outstanding regulatory concerns in the relevent jurisdiction or on the part of the stock exchange." The IPMCF Nasdaq appeal is still the "outstanding regulatory concern," thus no electronic quotes.

"More mining frauds lurking under the surface" By PAUL BAGNELL Mining Reporter The Financial Post Canada's lone mining-fraud cop says he's swamped with complaints - including a few about projects that look distinctly like hoaxes - but lacks the resources to investigate them fully. RCMP Sgt. Randy Rogers said yesterday a lack of expert personnel and a fragmented regulatory framework stand in the way of more effective pursuit of the "dirty 2%" of mining entrepreneurs who aim to defraud investors. Speaking in Toronto, at the annual conference of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada, Rogers urged junior exploration companies to guard against fraud by adopting stricter practices at their projects. He is the RCMP's only specialist in mining fraud, a position created in September 1996. He works in the force's commercial crime unit in Vancouver and spent eight years working as an exploration geologist. Rogers said complaints arrive much faster than they can be investigated by himself or other commercial crime officers. A few of the cases on his plate are highly suspicious, suggesting mining investors may have more crash-and-burn stories ahead of them yet. He is helping RCMP investigators in Calgary probe the Bre-X Mineral Ltd. scandal, but would not comment on the investigation. However, he said: "Let's say there's a few others like that in the fire." The Busang fraud has made investors and industry participants more willing to report their suspicions to the RCMP. "There's an onslaught of new information coming in that we just don't have the bodies to investigate. "I've got a stack of files that deep waiting to be investigated, but no one to investigate them," Rogers said, waving his hand about half a metre above the table. "We need expertise - we need people with a mining background, with a stock exchange background and a legal background." Too often, he said, RCMP officers are transferred out of commercial crime units after they have gained experience. Rogers is one of those who would like to see a national securities regulator. With jurisdiction over securities lying with provincial governments, investigations into mining frauds often get shunted from one province to another. "I really support a national securities commission, personally. I think it would eliminate a lot of inter-jurisdictional squabbling." --------------------------------------------- MM
