BARRICK MUST BE READY TO BLOW! MR. GREG PANAGOS HAS LOTS OF EXPERIENCE TRYING TO PUT OUT FIRES. HIS LAST JOB WAS SPOKES PERSON FOR TRANSOCEAN RE: THE DEEPWATER HORIZON UNDER CONTRACT FOR BP THAT BLEW UP IN THE GULF OF MEXICO.
When the explosion happened the rig was drilling but was not in production.
Initial reports were as many as 12 missing, but the Coast Guard counted 98 survivors on two oil service boats and 17 injured, seven critically, who were taken to hospitals. Eleven were still unaccounted for at midday Wednesday, according to the Coast Guard.
Transocean spokesman Greg Panagos said it was too early to know what caused the accident.

That poster on yahoo is a bought and paid for Barrick minion. Barrick is losing this info war big time! They are definatly on their heels.
Was that you Goldpanner that dumped 5000 shares today?
I got some of that...thanks for the cheap stock!
Have a Newclearday!
We are on the same page. However we are not regulators, we are shareholders I believe our mandate is to:
- Complete the option agreement
- File the appropriate documents in Chile registering our asset with the mines curator.
-Vend the property into our books as a NI-4101 compliant asset.
The Regulators will only do something when there is a proverbial "gun to their head"
Like in the Dire Straits Song Industrial Disease "Two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong"
I know and you know two companies cannot legally say own same asset although that will be for the regulator to do they're job.
Perception seems to be reality for the regulators and right now the are pinching themselves hoping that this is just a dream...Elliott Ness where are you!
Reality is that they (the regulators) shall soon be in an "uber finger-pointing contest" with the losers being ABX Shareholders.
We MWR Shareholders need to let everyone know the reality is Mr. Lopehandia/ MWR is Mina Pascua>> The Worlds Largest Gold/ Silver Deposit!
We as MWR shareholders can only demand from the Regulators that Barrick is on our turf and we want them off...NOW!
They are not the same claim. Barrick has a salt and nitrate claim from 1994 lac minerals. We have the metallic claims.
The 2010 appeal of Barrick's ownership has been defeated at law in Chile 2012.
I came away very pleased from the MWR AGM. After hearing Mr. Lopehandia address all shareholder concerns specifically with respect to timing on moving forward. I am completely satisfied with the original sealed, notarized Chilean Title documents I viewed at the meeting.
Furthermore I understand that MWR'S Private Placement is now fully subscribed and possibly over subscribed. This means we will be heading to Santiago sometime next month to officially register our 50% option with the Chilean mines curator. When this is complete, we have the worlds largest gold property on our books.
Once this bankable asset hits our balance sheets we will have a line up of new friends such as royalty companies ready to buy future metals as well as institutions throwing fiat currency at us. At that point the world exchanges will have no choice to accept this fact.
The truth is about to set us free!
Mountain-West retracts offer to meet with Munk
NEWS RELEASE
January 26, 2012
RESPONSE TO DECEMBER 21, 2011 STATEMENT BY BARRICK GOLD - ABX
Further to the Barrick Gold Corporation statement issued on December 21, 2011,
Mountain-West Resources Inc. (the Company) reports the following. The statements
made by the Company in our three news releases of December 6, 8 and 18, 2011, were
correct. We do believe in “the integrity of the capital markets”.
We have based our releases on independent reports from experts and lawyers in Chile.
Our due diligence proves that the Mina Pascua deposit is inside the Lac Minerals 1994
area, namely the Los Amarillos 1-3000 claims. This area has had an injunction in place
[MPP C1912-2001] since June 5, 2001. The injunction remains in place at this time and
protects the interests of Jorge’ Lopehandia. The injunction is likely the reason that
Barrick Gold continues to delay production at this very valuable gold, silver and copper
deposit.
A Supreme Court of Chile judgment in 2006 validated by the Supreme Court in 2008
gave rights to Lopehandia’s titles, which are optioned by our company.
On our December 6, 2011 news release, we extended an invitation to Peter Munk “to a
meeting with the Company and Lopehandia in Vancouver, B.C.” We hereby retract that
offer.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
BRENT JOHNSON,
President & CEO

An anonymous director reports
WAITING FOR MINA PASCUA TITLE FROM BARRICK GOLD (ABX)
Mountain-West Resources Inc. would like to confirm it is in possession of a series of documents relating to fraudulent market activity regarding Barrick Gold Corp. These documents have been forwarded to the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) integrated market enforcement team (IMET) division by Mina Pascua owner Jorge Lopehandia.
The company has informed IMET and will be forwarding documents shortly in a formal complaint. Since Barrick ABX has not corrected its 2011 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) filings, Barrick Gold is working on the Amarillos and Tesoros claims for the benefit of its shareholders and Mr. Lopehandia. As of this date, there is no registration of these claims in Barrick's name in Chile.
The company awaits title to be produced for the Amarillos 1 3,000 and the Tesoros Uno 1 to 30 to Tesoros Doce 1 to 5.

Are Peter Munk and Brian Mulroney running Canada?
Peter Munk is Chairman of Barrick Gold Corporation. Mr. Mulroney is a Director of Barrick since 1993, and is Chairman of Barrick’s International Advisory Board. Three times in the past year, the Harper government has intervened to further the economic interests of Mr. Munk and Mr. Mulroney.
The third intervention occurred this week when finance minister Jim Flaherty took what the Globe and Mail (May 7, page B1) called “the unusual step of intervening” by phoning CIBC executives to pressure them to settle up with Barrick Gold Corporation over a dispute over losses related to the current asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) meltdown.
It should be noted that the ABCP market is huge, and almost totally unregulated in the U.S. and Canada. In particular, ABCP is exempt from dealer registration and prospectus requirements. So why is the government taking sides in a situation where it has declined to define any form of regulation?
This domestic incident follows two international interventions by Mr. Harper to further the economic interests of Barrick Gold. In July 2007, Harper supported Barrick Gold's environmentally-destructive Pascua Lama Project in Chile during his visit to that country. In November, he intervened in Tanzania with a $105 million aid package to smooth over labour difficulties encountered by Barrick Gold in that country. Archbishop-elect Mokiwa, new leader of the Anglican Church of Tanzania, has decried his own government’s dealings with foreign mining companies as dubious and exploitive of its citizens.
All of which raises some basic questions: Who is this Harper government actually working for?
Is Canada through the actions of its current government becoming a new world leader in economic imperialism?

Mr. Peter Munk & top ABX Pascua fraud officers, Chile bound. 2-Nov-11 03:52 pm
Nice to see that some real due diligence has panned out to reveal that BARRICK GOLD CORPORATION holds no title to MINA PASCUA CHILE areas.
Barrick has enkoyed fake bogus title and rigged libel lawsuit against MINA PASCUA owner, Mr. Jorge Lopehandia, on record, persecuting the Chilean Canadian miner 1996-2011.
Independent on how stock climbs via dumping and pumping of large blocks of shares, many times manipulated trades to reach new heights... the crimes of MINA PASCUA shall do away with many executives of ABX, at law.
Unless, it is perfectly OK to issue a false PROSPECTUS to TSX or to SEC, ABX is criminally involved in the issuance of a false MINA PASCUA 1994-2001 PROSPECTUS.
This PROSPECTUS was defaced 2001-2011 with a series of lies. LAMA VELADERO synergies, PASCUA VELADERO, GOLD UNDER THE GLACIERS, ending at PASCUA LAMA PONZI SCHEEME.
ABX is mum and has lied via STOCKWATCH against MWR 2011, further, ABX corrupted its TSX / NYSE 2011 filings, purported to own PASCUA LAMA with TESOROS concessions, these are 100% fabrications at law to steal cash from the public.
The same goes for AMARILLOS 1-3000 concessions known to be salts & nitrates concessions in Chile.
So why would ABX go up when loosing its largest single asset?
Easy, manipulation is the name of the game.
Barrick admitted in Louisiana at BLANCHARD & CO case, to have helped to manipulate Gold prices down.
Attacking the very commodity it peddles.
Rewarded by high share prices from Banks manipulating the stock AS IF fraud-amentals were there...
These crooks played with the public's purse and stole the decency & transparency from the public markets, transforming them into a den of insider driven shorter and manipulators of their own stocks. Pumpers & dumpers.
Why does ABX need a paradise of offshore money laundering paradises to "deliver never owned PASCUA to ABX"? theft theft theft, rampant theft!
Why Vegreville?

Mr. Brent Johnson reports
FITZGERALD ESTATE LITIGATION UPDATE
Mountain-West Resources Inc. has provided a short update on its litigation in Washington against the estate of Michael Joseph Fitzgerald. Mr. Fitzgerald passed away Aug. 9, 2009, and was the company's founding president from December, 1971, until October, 1995. He stepped down to vice-president for approximately three months in 1985 and then returned to his previous position. This following information has been prepared by the company's attorneys in Seattle, Wash.
On Oct. 11, 2011, Mountain-West Resources filed its opening brief in Division One of the Washington State Court of Appeals in Seattle, Wash. Mountain-West is appealing from the dismissal of Mountain West's creditor's claims submitted to the personal representative of the estate of Mr. Fitzgerald and the later fee award under Washington's appeal rules.
The opening brief challenges the dismissal on three main bases, including that the superior court erroneously concluded Mountain-West received the required notice to creditors from the PR under the applicable statute, which therefore means that Mountain-West's submission of claim was not too late; and that the superior court erroneously refused to permit Mountain-West to conduct discovery as provided under the probate statutes to determine whether the PR knew that Mountain-West was a potential creditor of the estate.
The estate has 30 days to file its response brief. Mountain-West will then have 30 days to file a reply, which will complete the appellate briefing. The case will then be set for consideration, which may include oral argument to a panel of three judges. A decision is normally filed after about a month from the date of consideration, typically between 60 to 90 days after consideration. In this case, that would be in the latter part of 2012.
Management of the company would like to pass further information to its shareholders and potential shareholders at this time. However, for strategic reasons, the company will reveal only what its counsel advises. At the moment it is in the process of getting a website constructed and also enacting the name change to Mountainstar Gold Inc.
Management would like to thank its Washington attorneys for the diligent manner in which they have handled this case. Equally important, thanks to the patient shareholders.

Pascua-Lama (From Barrick Gold's Web-Site)
The Pascua-Lama project is located on the border of Chile and Argentina, in the Frontera district at an elevation of 3,800 to 5,200 meters, approximately 10 kilometers from Barrick’s Veladero mine. The Pascua-Lama project has strong bi-national government support and strong support from local citizens and regional stakeholders in both countries. One of Barrick’s objectives is to help the people in the region find ways to grow their economy, skills and infrastructure for long-term benefit. As a result, this large, long-life mine also is expected to offer jobs and community development in the region for many years to come.
As at December 31, 2010, Pascua-Lama has proven and probable reserves of 17.8 million ounces of gold, with 671 million ounces of silver contained within the gold reserves1.
Pascua-Lama is a high quality, world class resource. Expected average annual gold production has increased to 800,000–850,000 ounces in the first full five years of operation at negative total cash costs of $225-$275 per ounce2,3 assuming a silver price of $25 per ounce. Average annual silver production for the first full five years is expected to be about 35 million ounces. For every $1 per ounce increase in the silver price, total cash costs are expected to decrease by about $35 per ounce over this period.
A detailed review of the underlying assumptions and trending analysis for Pascua-Lama was completed in the second quarter of 2011, coinciding with the review of the capital costs of Cerro Casale, where additional data and information applicable to Pascua-Lama was identified. The Company has concluded that, based on current trends, certain earlier estimates and assumptions are not achievable, including those for productivity rates and inflationary effects on costs, as well as for required quantities of certain construction materials such as steel and cement. In addition, the Company has increased its projected expenditures to essentially maintain the schedule for bringing the project into production in mid-2013. As a result, pre-production capital is now estimated at $4.7-$5.0 billion2.
At the end of the second quarter of 2011, engineering design was about 90% complete. In Chile, earthworks were more than 80% complete, the truck shop platform was completed and work advanced on road construction to the Pascua pit. In Argentina, platforms for the conveyor portal, coarse ore stockpile, pebble crusher and Merrill Crowe facility were completed. Occupancy and expansion of the construction camps in Chile and Argentina continues to ramp up with more than 2,300 housed on site and a further 2,800 expected by the end of the year. Preparations are underway to commence pre-strip mining in Q4 2011 and development of the tunnel connecting the mine in Chile and the processing plant in Argentina is progressing on both sides.

About GATA
The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee was organized in the fall of 1998 to expose, oppose, and litigate against collusion to control the price and supply of gold and related financial instruments. The committee arose from essays by Bill Murphy, a financial commentator on the Internet (LeMetropoleCafe.com), and by Chris Powell, a newspaper editor in Connecticut.
Murphy's essays reported evidence of collusion among financial institutions to suppress the price of gold. Powell, whose newspaper had been involved in antitrust litigation, replied with an essay proposing that gold mining and investor interests should act on Murphy's essays by bringing antitrust lawsuits against financial institutions involved in the collusion against gold.
The response to these essays was so favorable that the committee was formed and formally incorporated in Delaware in January 1999. Murphy became chairman and Powell secretary and treasurer.
GATA underwrote the federal anti-trust lawsuit of its consultant, Reginald H. Howe -- Howe vs. Bank for International Settlements et al. -- which was pursued in U.S. District Court in Boston from 2000 to 2002. While the Howe suit was dismissed on a jurisdictional technicality, it yielded valuable information at a court hearing in November 2001 and became the model for Blanchard Coin and Bullion's anti-trust lawsuit brought the following year against Barrick Gold and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, whose settlement appears to have included Barrick Gold's decision to stop selling gold in advance.
Using the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, throughout 2008 and 2009 GATA sought access to the Federal Reserve's gold-related records, eliciting an admission from the Fed that it has gold swap arrangements with foreign banks and insists on keeping them secret. To obtain the records at issue, in December 2009 GATA sued the Fed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. In February 2011 the court ruled that most of the Fed's gold records could remain secret but that one had to be disclosed: minutes of the April 1997 meeting of the G-10 Committee on Gold and Foreign Exchange. The minutes, released by the Fed two weeks after the court's ruling, showed G-10 member treasury and central bank officials secretly discussing the coordination of their policies toward the gold market. The court ordered the Fed to pay court costs to GATA.
GATA has collected and published dozens of documents showing Western treasury and central bank efforts to intervene both openly and surreptitiously against a free market in gold. GATA has held four international conferences: in Durban, South Africa, in 2001; in Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada, in 2006; in Washington, D.C., in 2008, and in London in 2011.
GATA's Internet site is www.GATA.org.
GATA is recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt educational and civil rights organization under Section 501-c-3 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and is grateful for donations to sustain its work
Re:ABX and Mina Pascua = TROUBLE
I’ve been following this saga for a while. Like me, everyone can cross reference claims from ABX's 2011 SEC Form 6-K Technical Report on the Pascua-Lama Project report here with this latest news from MWR:
http://google.brand.edgar-online.com/EFX...
Barrick includes these claims which should not have been included as per Chilean reports. MWR says in their past news releases the claims affected include 85% or more of the Pascua Lama Ore body:
Page 146
No 70
LOS AMARILLOS 1 AL 3000
Page 154
No 185
TESORO UNO 1 AL 30
Page 154
No 191
TESORO DOCE 1 AL 5
Its obvious ABX needs to update and clairify why they included the above claims as owned by ABX to the SEC, you guys agree?
EVERYONE; IMMEADIATLY PRINT OR SAVE ANY MWR NEW RELEASE AS SOON AS THEIR RELEASED. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT BARRICK AND COMPANY HAVE PEOPLE WORKING TO PROTECT WHATS LEFT OF THEIR ONLINE REPUTATION.
USE SOCIAL MEDIA , TWITTER, FACEBOOK, LINKEDIN, ECT...TO GET OUT THE NEWS!!!
WE NEED TO CONTINUIOSLY REMIND OURSELFS AND OTHER PERSPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS THAT WE HAVE A 50% OPTION ON THE WORLDS LARGEST AND LOWEST COST GOLD/SILVER DEPOSIT.
THE BIG GUY IS BEHIND THE LITTLE GUY IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE CAN DO AS SHAREHOLDERS IS SEND OUT THE INFORMATION VIA SOCIAL MEDIA.
IT APPEARS ALL OTHER MEDIA IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY THE ESTABLISHMENT. KEEP POUNDING OUT THE TRUTH AND WE SOON SHALL PREVAIL!!!
