Shadow: If you have read the article on MINE you will notice that it is tainted drastically in the direction of the negative. Past and previous events are so intertwined that unless you are a MINE shareholder that has done the DD one would view the article as "bashing". Secondly, no one on the MINE thread has been able to verify the halt of trading by the SEC, and the assumption is that if it has been halted it may tend to be more for a lack of financials. This of course is purely speculative on our part. As far as an investment in MINE, it is probably comparable to those that invested in GIFT. Certainly not a place to put money that would otherwise be necessary to clothe and feed ones self. It is a fun stock to own, and all this speculation makes it that much more exciting. I think most investor's are happy that trading has been halted as we will have a better grasp on the real prospects of the company when the stock re-opens. In the interim, the trip by three of the MINE thread shareholders is being finalized that will visit the site on or about July 20th. The trip is being funded by shareholders on the thread. Probably a new first for SI and something we are proud to be on the ground floor of. Good Investing--GARY--

>> official stamp of approval on MINE'claims. << I can still remember the Bre-X mess. A week before the fraud was exposed for what it was and when the secondary testing was going on, CNBC went out and interviewed some small Canadian investors who had shares in Bre-X. The camera initially flashed to an elderly guy sitting on a porch. He spoke about how the gold was real and how shareholders would benefit. This type of sentiment was echoed by many other interviewees that CNBC spoke to. One week later, their shares were worth the equivalent of toilet paper. MINE will likely turn out the same. It was a pedestrian ploy by management to get a quick pump. Admittedly, it was unlikely that another company would try another Bre-X on the market but therein lies the beauty of the ploy. Who would have thought that another scam would surface so quickly? Call it a type of camouflage, helped along by the Bre-X fiasco and short marketplace memories.

>>Having lived in Denver I can tell you the Rocky Mountain News is not a rag. It is in the same class of paper as the NY Times or the LA Times.<< That is a ridiculous statement. True, the RMN is not a tabloid, but it is not even remotely comparable to the NY or LA Times. It is actually a pretty pathetic newspaper for a metro area the size of Denver. Want ad section is not bad though. However if your point is that they would not have falsely reported a trading halt in MINE, I agree with you.
