Here's a company I find exciting ... I like companies that break new ground as it's only possible to get extraordinary returns through extraordinary business and technology models.
MGAU has a 10:1 return since September ... and it's just starting!
The Company is: 1) Gearing up production facility ( generating cash flow) which began recently and not exploration ( expending cash capital). I have no interest in exploration. 2) Potential change of an industry as below noted. This is why I am so interested in this Company.
The Company stated ,
"With the advent of MG Technology for precious metals extraction, all current methods will become obsolete."

------------------------------- I am just a shareholder and nothing more or less. The following describes what is going on. Please see website for more details. Call the company in doing your own due diligence. The company does NOT have a PR firm or anyone else to tell their story!!
Just as process technological breakthroughs such as heap leaching, autoclaving and oxygenated roasting have had a tremendous impact on the mining industry turning gold mineralized material that would have otherwise been left as vast amounts of waste rock into huge amounts of valuable gold reserves MGAU believes it has made yet another major technological breakthrough in treating and processing refractory ores. Refractory refers to gold ores that are not amenable to efficient gold recovery via cyanidation or gravity concentration without additional processing. In addition to this, MG has a marble quarry operation providing positive cash flow. See 13 Press releases since December and 6 President's Letters. The President's letters explain the company's progress.
April 12, 1999 President's Letter
"With the advent of MG Technology for precious metals extraction, all current methods will become obsolete……. MG has been enabled by purchasing extraction technology from Johnson & Lett, to make our precious metals mining operations highly economical. We would like to compare our Dollar Value per ton of ore to some of the largest mines in the world. We are a micro cap company with ore worth hundreds of dollars per ton. They are maxi cap companies with ore worth pennies per ton. We process ore in days. They process ore in years. We have small capital costs. They have enormous capital costs. Just a few short months from now, we believe it will appear as though we bought Johnson & Lett Technology for less than 2.5 cents per ounce. Production has moved up from one ton per day the week of April 5th through 9th, to 5 tons per day the week of April 12th through 16th. Upon development of systematic and periodic processing, concentrating and refining, we anticipate refinery checks on a weekly basis."
March 16, 1999 President's Letter
"We have had engineers estimate the weight of the mountain and we are comfortable with a figure of about 196,000,000 tons. We are confident that we are able to recover over an ounce of gold per ton of ore. Based on current projections, we anticipate a positive cash flow from the Sinagua Pilot Plant within the next few months."
February 22, 1999 President's Letter
"The extraction of gold from the refractory ore with which we have been blessed is no longer a hypothetical formula. It has become a working model that is being scaled up to commercial production size. Company management and the board of directors have concluded that MG has spent adequate time and funds in conforming with industry standards regarding drilling and performing third party verification by analytical laboratories. Further expenditures at this time would be in conflict with the Corporate mission statement. The proven technology of Johnson, Lett & Company (discussed in the February 16, 1999 press release) has placed MG in the difficult position of being unable to disclose full details and results of the "due diligence" with J/L technology without compromising security and confidentiality."
February 8, 1999 President's Letter
"With a significant breakthrough in recovery of gold from refractory ore, the possibilities of mining much less ore at much higher grades would produce economic viability with multiple profit margins. The seed of an idea that germinates from research and development needs encouragement and cultivation to go from a seed to a seedling and into a harvest. MG is encouraging and cultivating Johnson & Lett now to be able to reap a harvest in profits later. Our due diligence, assay and recovery work utilizing Johnson & Lett assay technology is part of our vision and goal to be able to identify the most probable mining target. The reason for our insistence on actual recovery of gold from refractory ore is in keeping with the vision and goals of MG. Assays are expenses not profits. Profits are only possible in recovery of precious metals from the actual mining of properties that we own, have claimed or lease. The MG press releases are material fact based on reliable, repeatable, reconcilable assay work done by reputable assay/analytical laboratories."..
Press Release of April 5, 1999-- Completed the test run with one ton of ore from its Sinagua Cinder Cone Property. Utilizing the recently acquired Johnson-Lett technology, MG has recovered 1.73 ounces of gold from this bulk sample. Company intends to post copy of the check from the refinery on their website.
Press Release of April 21, 1999 MG Receives First Refinery Check for Recovered Gold. The Board of Directors of MG has received a letter from Dr. A.C. Johnson, the developer of the technology purchased by the company, stating, "At long last after almost 20 years...we can both successfully explore for, and produce precious element-bearing refractory (precursor) ores." Because of the location of the Sinagua Pilot Plant, Dr. Johnson proposes that we pursue in addition to Sinagua's cinder ore, other ores from the area. He recommends, "At the same time that we are producing ores from Sinagua and perhaps Sticklizard properties, we might also evaluate and produce other, significantly higher-grade ores." Dr. Johnson's letter can be read in its entirety on the MG website.
A visionary approach in any industry usually encounters such enormous skepticism that faith, commitment and patience are required to stay the course. This "vision" has resulted in a metamorphosis of our company. We have successfully transformed ourselves into a profitable natural resource provider with the potential to redefine the parameters of precious metals extraction.

Talk about this little company is starting to get around. I go out sloshing with the mining crowd in Vancouver and several people have starrted discussing it. One of them has hired an investigator to have a look at Dr. Johnson and the CEO. They are hoping that the look comes back clean. These gents have the buy power to push this stock into the clouds. Let us hope they hear good news. |
