David berry selling his house? Maybe he needs money for drilling holes??

Next. I agree with your National Enquirer statement about the ridiculousness of claims made by some about Atacama being some kind of mining and exploration giant. Much here does resemble wild eyed stories about Atacama potential.
Sad knowing what you own is basically worthless unless the stock promoters dig in and create another opportunity to sell. This is not about the share price, not a factor at all as to who is making money being on the correct side of the manipulation but rather about the belief from years ago the company will never mine or refine an ounce of gold. If that story changes to some other venture, well, so be it, but then we would have been proven to have been correct about the gold angle. Coast to coast FN mining - not feasible, highly unlikely, but a unique angle to a new scheme being hatched. Remember, Mr. Berry was the one who was going to pay for financials, pay for audits, pay to have the CTO removed, pay for the mines-in fact you even wondered if by listing his home for sale he would use the proceeds to pay for drilling (that did not happen). Atacama must be a word from a lost language that means "soon". It was lost because those speaking it were going to create a written language, soon, but never did.
Some shareholders who believe this is going to a dollar any day now with the CTO being removed any day now also promoted the idea Mr. Berry was a billionaire. If he was he would not have had to sell his home to pay for drilling, and his billionaire status did not save YAPPN from going into bankruptcy. I mean really, what is $18 million dollars to a billionaire!
I agree (and that was a lengthy slide show!), the harvesting of shareholders money who expect big things began a long time ago. I am curious. You mentioned the cease trade order may be coming off the stock the weekend after Atacama filed their annual Florida corporation renewal back in the spring of 2020. Would you like to expand on that? I don't believe it happened but you seemed so sure it would. What gave you grounds for such a robust optimism?
That could be your number pretending to be him. And of course, what else would he say since part of the plan is to have some spread the false story he no longer is involved when in fact he is, according to a source very close to Mr. Grant, who stepped back to remain a consultant. My request for information from the current company members has resulted in no response at all. With Duh Duh Plummet Group being from Chicago, there seems to be a lot of interest geographically from the area where the pump began.
I believe an email address would be more apropos.
According to an individual very close to Mr. Grant, he is a consultant and since there is no date on your email but one can assume it is from the time when Mr. Spivak wisely decided to walk away from this El Dante Fiasco. Sorry but as you have stated in the past, anyone can fake an email so posting it proves nothing. It appears as if it is a fake email since there is no date and time stamp on it and no return email address for Mr. Grant displayed. I have chosen to trust the person who informed me, publicly, on this board Mr. Grant is a consultant with the company. Why would someone with so much supposed "knowledge and experience", a "hero" to all Atacama shareholders, a "brilliant man, a genius", with hundreds of millions of shares owned by he and his wife, a "boots on the guy", Nasdaq in earl 2020, a man who stated you cannot lose money on the preferred shares, a man who touted the most incredible (though untrue) gold find in Canada, nay, the world, not remain in involved.
There was a nice little upwards move not that long ago that had gums flapping and volume was pretty decent and it did create an opportunity for some to divest themselves. Those promoting the stock on social media, the usual suspects, though now absent for the most part are still shilling to whoever might listen. TTCM has an identity crisis, a focus crisis, a crisis of expectations, a crisis of follow through on so many levels they look like a crisis elevator company. You have phones where there are none, phantom company the subject of a cease and desist order which as far as anyone knows has never been dealt with despite assurances to the contrary, a phantom platform for which excuses are always made as to why events never unfolded as promised. On a critical level the hot air the company produces might be the reason for global warming (!?) !.
Mr. Grant is a consultant to Atacama Resources and it IMO it is not a coincidence Mr. Grant and Mr. Dion both reside in Alberta. Without an update on SEDAR it is impossible to know who owns shares and who doesn't since Atacama seems incapable of filing the required insider disclosure report with the regulators - SEDI in Canada. With no new information forthcoming from the company shareholders are left in the dark as to who holds a controlling interest, whether Mr. Dion owns shares, did Mr. Spivak sell his shares when he exited since there would not have been a restriction on his ability to trade the shares of Atacama? Since some from Duh Duh Plummet Group are no longer actively posting here assumptions can be made. Their holdings were smaller than managemenst and were free so they were in the green regardless of share price performance but it was in their best interest to promote the stock allowing them to sell their tens of millions of shares at a profit.
DD Summit Group, now commonly referred to as Duh Duh Plummet Group, due to the company efforts failing to blow up Atacama into something important (it isn't) seems to have closed their doors. The email domain is no longer valid and the website non-functional. They did share the same IP address as a home renovation company but that website too is on the fritz. So they received tens of millions of free shares to do exactly what? Enrich themselves selling while hyping the stock on social media? It seems to be the case. Mr. Grant granted them shares in exchange for exactly what apart from promoting the stock? They have no expertise in mining and their efforts were nothing but hyped up pieces of lies trying to form the picture of success. A lot like Rubiks Kobeszko.
These guys got plenty of free shares..

Just making room for higher sells with those little 100 share lots. The company has nothing, has done nothing, continues to do nothing and will do nothing regardless of who runs it.
The point is moot. Regardless of his, or any other managers background they cannot make gold appear where there is none. Reliance upon unproven assays and other highly promotional press releases (one was quite misleading and I am sure it would be considered a no no with the securities regulators in Canada) clearly illustrates this is more about language than assets.
Funny except for the description of Mr. Dion's heritage which should never be the point. He may be naive, claims to have not known about the Atacama issues when he signed on, no mining experience. Would you describe Mr. Berry as White Man David? In this day and age respect must be and should be shown because you not only denigrate Mr. Dion but those of FN background by using the term Indian Joe. That is very distasteful. You man want to ask admin to delete it and substitute that word. Perhaps we should stick to his practises and not has racial origin.

TTCM/Akyumen responses and explanations (not shareholders but company responses)
Stocks like TTCM, investors are trying to survive the obvious outcome of losing most, if not all their original investment. TTCM shareholders have to believe and propagate the "fairy tale" as some have described it to try to generate interest hopefully resulting in an increased share price. It will be a delicate balance between trying to bolster share price support and waiting for a PR from DLM or Big Bad Jon which may result in an increase of interest with volume so they can piece their positions out. They have to keep it going as long as they can because the only option is abject failure and a throwing in of the towel (a towel they likely will try to exclaim they bought on Main Street using the app-cuts to video showing towel floating over gravestones) and someone claiming it was a literal sale driven by small-town traffic locations who already are accelerating (?) profits.
It seems he does not wish to be forthcoming or transparent either, given his conduct to date.
So now everything that got pumpers all excited was for naught and the focus is shifting to a new scheme. National chain of casinos? National chain of gas stations? National chain of hucksters? Really, who would walk away from 16 ounces of gold per ton LMFAO? Yes there will be a new huckster PR and people will scream and cheer until eventually it falls flat. All the hype about being near the mile of gold and so on (how many kilometres is that?) was just what? It was okay to sell this based on Grants claims when he sold the preferred shares? All that gold but walking away from it. The fake Tannahill press release? All for nothing? All that money raised from the preferred bases on lies well that could cause some problems for them. They might have to give back the money but Grant said buyers could not lose on the deal. Just who can one trust?
I forget who it was but someone was scoffing stating the bashers could not get the price below .025. He was right. The sellers did that on their own and then some.
Tickle his ask with a feather.
Good grief-he could audition as the snakeoil salesman in the remake of the Lizard of Aus. That is the instructional video on how not to make video pitches! He said they make phones. Where are they now it is going on three years. Let me guess, Phone wasn't built in a day.
Timelines are important because they establish a bond of trust between management and shareholders-fulfilling promises made in a timely manner without having to rely upon the steadfast rhetoric of some who believe "soon" is a reasonable substitution for "when". It is interesting so much interest stems from non-disclosure by management but instead relies upon information not from the company when it comes to some being able to reap profits in the absence of progress but the proliferation of lies and falsehoods. Clearly those attributes mark Atacama as a play and not an investment. The company cannot seem to, or seem willing to, make good on two year old promises, one year old promises, and to have the facts put straight in a press release.
Exactly..words, not deeds. Like his words when he came on board-lots of gum flapping but no deeds. Same now-gums flapping no deeds done. Easy to talk, harder to do.
Which might then explain how so many became misled into buying the stock. I find reading past the first three lines delivers the nuggets, not the shell. It does seem to be mighty popular in the land of Duh Duh Plummet Group of Chicago though. I mean really, a home renovations company being a paid consultant of Atacama Resources. Have to love the transparency though. Corporate office in Plantation, Florida with a Kenosha, Wisc. address with an Ottawa, Ontario phone number whose holding company is in Toronto, Kirkland Lake, and Alberta. Talk about sticking pins in a map!
The CTO removal was the priority for Grant, then Berry and now Dion-pass the hot potato please.
And at Frog Lake, Joe Dion has been making moves of his own. In
November of 2010 he negotiated a $30-million deal with Chinese
private investment firm Sichuan Ruifeng Investment Management
Co. Ltd. to create a new oil production company, Windtalker Energy
Corp., that will be drilling on Frog Lake reserve land, and also looking for expansion opportunities by acquiring additional land or production
elsewhere in Alberta, Canada or even the U.S. If all goes well, Windtalker
will eventually be taken public. “The goal of turning Windtalker into a
publicly traded company was a big part of the negotiations,” says Dion.
“That’s the kind of big thinking we need more of.”
However it never went public which likely means, according to the requirement that if all goes well, which it did not seem to do.
Actually he (Berry) has not yet been able to get rid of that pesky CTO despite it costing the company money every day it remains in place.
I fail to find any information on Joe Dion and his mining experiences. Can you articulate those? He did form a partnership with the Chinese in 2010 to form Windtalker Energy with the idea of taking it public (but that never happened). That was eleven years ago and Windtalker was being investigated by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) because of its close ties with a Chinese government corporation buying up resources and the head of the Chinese conglomerate was made an honorary Chief of the Frog Lake band.
CSIS has expressed concerns in the recent past over China’s resource push. The agency published a paper in September 2013 that explored China’s acquisitions of resources abroad, including in Canada. The report was based on a conference hosted by CSIS and National Defence.
CSIS has also investigated links between Chinese investment and First Nations. Vancouver lawyer Merle Alexander told APTN National News that he was approached by CSIS agents in 2010 and 2011 probing whether First Nations were being “manipulated” by the Chinese through their business deals.
Alexander, a partner with Gowlings, said in an interview that Strahl’s position as CSIS watchdog while lobbying for a First Nations firm with Chinese links raises a lot of questions.
“CSIS is looking at the relationship between First Nations and China for potential undo influences, (Strahl) works for a First Nations owned company that has relationships with China and he also has a role on an investigative body,” said Alexander. “Anyone can draw on those three things, you should be able to publicly answer to it.”
But that was not mining, it was oil and gas based.
The audited financials under Berry were as good as done when he came on board because after all he was a billionaire (he wasn't and isn't). The deep pockets (the guys who awarded themselves hundreds of millions of free shares) would guarantee the audits would be done and Canadians released from the shackles of the CTO and yet going on two years later nothing has been accomplished to that end. No filings submitted at all to the regulators, not one. Any filings would be found on SEDAR as it is a public process-every step is documented when it comes to required public disclosure like audits. And now a new leader with zero experience running a mining company, running a public company (who admittedly was not aware of the history of Atacama and its issues), is expected to be the new savior because of his birth heritage? I don't think so.
It was stated...
"He wins more often then not though..."
What has he won in the world of business? He is 0-1 running a business. Saying the fact he won a court case, and rightly so I must add, is not the same as running a business. So for now running a business he is on the losing end. An $18million bankruptcy is not a victory for shareholders. To date all he has accomplished is to increase the float and fail to have the CTO removed that a year ago was stated as being a priority, as it was by Glenn Grant and yet, nothing.
I am pretty sure his timeline about getting things done is not really a consideration but it certainly is a tact taken by some to explain away his lack of action and to somehow attempt to make a convincing argument for patience. Each day that passes adds more to the daily fee bill for failing to file the required information with the Canadian authorities.
And FYI I am not from Missouri-it is an expression-Missouri is the Show Me state which simply means talk is cheap, prove it by doing it, not talking about it.
I recall Grant was being hailed as a genius especially when he stated the stock would begin trading on the Nasdaq, and the TSX, and audited financials were completed, and CTO removal was a matter of "weeks away" (over two years since that comment). Now he is a bum and Berry was hailed as the new saviour and Spivak wisely walked when he saw the crap show he got involved with. The geologists hired under Grant were hailed as the best in their fields then were bums. It is just the circle game here-everything is always "right around the corner".
He passed away almost two years ago.
I also find it interesting after his tenure with Scotiabank he was not picked up by another firm. He essentially disappeared from public view until the bankruptcy filing in 2018. He may have been a good trader but he is no businessmen and he was no Warren Buffett. I doubt he spent millions defending himself (exaggeration of the facts about persons related to Atacama seem to be the trait). He was exonerated by the Canadian version of FINRA from wrong doing-it was a stupid short-sighted move on his managers who simply were jealous an underling was making far more money than were they. He never worked as a trader again for another large bank as far as I can find out. To date Berry has done nothing for Atacama and the cease trade order and filing of audited financials under his leadership have yet to be resolved. There seems to be no appetite for it. Trading and running a public company are two very different things. Someone is delivering a soft lob.
Bad day in many ways for Duh Duh Plummet Group also known as DD Summit Group. Taking it on the chin consulting ACRL. Of course no one knows what they actually did for their free money or what Weezus Enterprises did for their free money but I bet no one wants to talk about it. And since ACRL is unable and or unwilling to provide updates no one knows who the insiders are and what shares are held by whom. Makes me want to head to Delilahs for a drink and research.
Lol, Glenn's dream. Really? What was Glenn's dream? To trade on the Nasdaq in 2020? To find 16 ounces of gold per ton? To become the country's biggest mining company? To shill worthless claims, take a ton of free shares and hand the hangmans knot over to someone else who will hand it over to someone else? Glenn's dream was a scheme, nothing more. The man was incapable of running a public company as are the others. His dream now I bet is to get out without getting caught up in it.
Bang on they still owe money. There is no coast-to-coast First Nations business but there are a number of false stories being spread but really, why let the facts get in front of a good lie? Some are really hyping up the First Nations connection when there is no connection to any band but only to a few people with FN background and then only from a band in Alberta, Canada. That daily fee from six years of missing filings is adding up, well, daily. And now it is not important about the claims expiring soon for some reason. The story keeps changing. Is it going to be a national chain of casino's? Maybe a national chain of amusement parks? The latter might make sense-good slogan to! Hope on board and let us take you for a ride!

THAT MEANS NO AUDITED FILINGS, NO CTO REMOVAL PROGRESS, NO COMPLIANT FILINGS AND THE COMPANY HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE WHO INSIDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE.
FROM 2015 UNTIL TODAY THE COMPANY HAS NOT COMPLIED WITH CANADIAN SECURITIES OBLIGATIONS.
They still have debt and you really should read the financials statements, the unaudited filings, on the OTC site. It clearly shows they have not yet paid off all of their debt(s). The CEO has no land coast to coast. Maybe he owns a recreational property in Ontario? He owns a home in Alberta, has an office in Alberta but that hardly constitutes coast to coast unless Canada is the smallest country in the world. No argument from me about the share price moving up and down a few cents-that clearly is what happens when stock promoters run the show as they do here-but nothing the company has done, or can do, or will do can change the fortune of the company nor of its Canadian shareholders.
Perhaps he should stick with what he knows. He obviously does not know how to keep FLERC up to date on the website with the last business update being 2013 and the last news update being 2017. He obviously was the correct choice for Atacama as he fits the management profile and he knows nothing about mining or how to run a public company.
They have a lot of work to do and a huge amount of money to spend to work to having it removed AND the issues facing Atacama brought on by Mr. Grant still need to be resolved and those were serious issues.
Casimir to you I believe.
I thought you knew him, my mistake. DLM mentioned you and him in a post so I assumed you know him. He was the shammeister with DD Summit (sometimes referred to as Duh Duh Plummet Group since the two hyped stocks on the website ACRL and another both plummeted). Berry was supposedly the Warren Buffet of Canada and look where that got Atacama shareholders. More of nothing, almost a Yappn kind of deal. Joe cannot even manage to keep the website up to date for FLERC so not putting a lot of faith in his abilities. Until he proves rather than talks just more of the same.
and you would know this how? By what he said (like Grant and Berry said) or through his actions? If the latter he has shown nothing. Even Casey K of DD Summit Group has lost faith I imagine.
Noting they are Canadian and able to likely extract beneficial tax status on some of their operations would dictate this would be on a Canadian exchange for which they will have to spend millions to be approved but the benefit being is Canadians have a type of retirement investment scheme we have here but it is only available to Canadian based companies so trading on the OTC pinks would likely rule that out.
But, and you do bring up a good point, removing the cease trade may result in increased share pricing but that would only last until those holding on the inside have divested themselves of their holdings before it crashed back down to earth since they would have no assets or revenue streams to justify an increase in the share price so I do agree with you on that point-it would be nothing more than a ploy to generate profits for those on the inside. Such an announcement would of course have only one goal and that is for insiders to unload and to feed the story. It is done on a regular basis here but we keep poking holes in their balloons and they keep pffftttiinnnggg back to earth.
