Talk to comstockplaya and some of the other guys here and they will all tell you a bit of info .
I have not had too much luck with anyone in the company.Did not deal directly with Earl .All I know is many investors here lost alot of money.
I personally don't trust anyone of them!!!.
Most of them don't even reply to emails.They all seem to go from one company to the next until they screw up and abandon ship.
Talk to Doubloon he seems to know even more about the company if I can recall
I believe his last post to me was not very positive about them either
Remmao
Hi all
I would Like to get in contact with Ir or corporate for some questions.
Does anyone have a working email adress for Tytan
I have tried both the ones listed but unfortunately they do not work
Thx Remmao
yep so am I
Unless by some miracle he can straighten this out, there are many folks out there that would like to talk to him.
I think he is finished and has tarnished his famous reputation.
No one will buy into his crap any more.
He'll have fun trying to get any big financing now!!!
It's amazing how fast information travels in the internet world!!!!!
One day it will catch up with him
Looks like a lot of people lost there money
Does any one know where these guy's have gone to?? or a way to get in contact with them
Would be really nice if the members and stock holders could get in touch with them.Then at least some of us could voice our opinion .
Does this mean we only get a tax write off? Is there anyway we can recover more than just this?
Last year I got screwed like this on the TSX and now on the pinks
There has to be something to make these guy's accountable!!!
Are there any lawyers here lol
Would be nice to hear at least something from the company.Someone must know something imo
I'm sure there are bigger bag holders than us that have not been paid?
It is good to see a few of us are still reading the board!
I believe there is still potential here .Perez is not answering his phone and last I heard they still had the properties. So either they re file after so many months or transfer shares under a different company to raise money if possible.
If they don't we will probably all loose our money.
Can't believe with such a "supposed dream team of people we the shareholders have ended up with nothing.
Were these guys not the best in the business with all there so called accomplishments.
They need to get their SH@$@t together and start running it like a real company.
All I keep hearing from people not to invest in the pinks ?
but in all honesty I think these problems arise in many of the exchanges. It is PURE manipulation and that folks has to stop if they expect people to invest their hard earned money into these markets.
Sure hope your right
It's about time they get their stuff in order .Many people very upset and they want to take action.They need to resolve this now!
Hoping I'm wrong
lets hope so!!
Lots of people have a vested interest here!
There are a lot of people here waiting to see what happens.Most of us folks are just sitting idle.Too many stories floating around to make any type of judgement.
By Nicholas Larkin and Kim Kyoungwha
Jan. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Gold advanced in New York and London trading as a weaker dollar spurred purchases after the metal’s biggest monthly drop since October 2008. Palladium climbed to a 17-month high.
Bullion futures slumped 7.3 percent last month as the U.S. Dollar Index, a six-currency gauge of the greenback’s value, gained 4 percent. The measure lost as much as 0.5 percent today. Gold, which slipped to a seven-week low on Dec. 22, tends to move inversely to the dollar.
“Good demand has been seen below $1,090” an ounce, James Moore, an analyst at London-based TheBullionDesk.com, wrote in a report today. “We expect investors will remain dip buyers, increasing exposure to offset devaluation of fiat currencies.”
Bullion futures for February delivery climbed $21.70, or 2 percent, to $1,117.90 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange’s Comex unit at 8:23 a.m. local time. The metal reached an all-time high of $1,227.50 last month. Gold for immediate delivery in London was 1.9 percent higher at $1,118.22 an ounce.
The metal increased to $1,113 an ounce in the morning “fixing” in London, used by some mining companies to sell production, from $1,104 at the morning fixing on Dec. 31. No afternoon fixing took place on the last day of 2009.
December’s drop was the first in four months. Bullion gained 24 percent in 2009 as investors sought to protect their wealth against currency debasement and a potential increase in inflation. The annual advance was the ninth in a row and the biggest since 2007.
‘Rebound in Gold’
“We may see some rebound in gold,” said Ellison Chu, a manager at Standard Bank Asia Ltd. in Hong Kong. “The market was thin last month and price declines were exaggerated. I still believe gold will continue to climb.”
Gold may average $1,150 an ounce this year and $1,300 in 2011, partly on demand from central banks and investors, according to Helen Henton, head of commodity research in London at Standard Chartered Plc and the most accurate gold forecaster in a Bloomberg precious-metals survey a year ago. The metal for immediate delivery averaged about $974 an ounce last year.
Bullion will gain on “central-bank buying, the structural change in interest for gold from retail investors, and in the second half the resumption of the weakening trend in the dollar,” Henton said on Dec. 29.
The dollar slumped last year as the Federal Reserve kept benchmark interest rates near zero to spur growth after the worst financial crisis since World War II. That bolstered demand for dollar-denominated raw materials from oil to coffee by making them cheaper for those holding other currencies.
Exchange-Traded Funds
Investors poured about $60 billion into commodities through index-tracking and exchange-traded funds and medium-term notes last year, and should at least match that in 2010, according to a Barclays Capital survey.
Raw materials may return more than financial assets for the first time in three years as the global economy rebounds, according to Bloomberg surveys and 2009’s most accurate commodity forecasters. Oil, corn, gold and palladium will advance as much as 17 percent this year, the analysts said.
Silver for March delivery in New York added 2.4 percent to $17.25 an ounce and platinum for April delivery gained 2.5 percent to $1,507 an ounce. Palladium for March delivery advanced as much as 4.6 percent to $427.50 an ounce, the highest price since July 2008, and was last at $422.30.

If you calculate what they have in reserves our current stock price should at least be .25 cents if not higher/not far off from their statement
the next coming months should be exciting imo
However do your own dd
no problem thx
Desert Fever
An Overview of Mining History of the California Desert Conservation Area
Imperial County
IMPERIAL COUNTY
Imperial County, though the smallest, shortest, and youngest county in the California Desert Conservation Area, has an impressive and colorful mining history. Modern day patriots mined ore for tracer bullets here, businessmen produced ice in the desert from a gas field, a former California governor owned shares in one of its gold mines, and the county played host to “one of the most absurd engineering feats ever undertaken in the West.”1
Imperial County's miners and prospectors chose colorful names for their holes in the ground. Some spoke of beauty: the Butterfly, Dulciana, Fair Diane, Full Moon, White Christmas and White Swan Mines; others spoke of wealth: the Easy Pickins, Golden Casket, Golden Geyser, Million Dollar Gold, Rica Tierra, and Well Earned mines. Some were just downright amusing: the Caveman, Coffee Pot, Little Bucckaroo, Lost Donkey, Stoneface, Sweet Potato, Tee Wee, and the Thumbs Mine. One miner even had a colorful name for the mining company that employed him: the White Man's Slavery Company of California. Perhaps the greatest historical distinction of Imperial County, however, is that within its present boundaries is the site of the earliest recorded mining activity in the State of California.
CALIFORNIA'S FIRST SPANISH MINERS
Soldiers, settlers, and laborers, part of two mission colonies under the administration of Francisco Garces, mined placer gold in the southeastern Chocolate Mountains in 1780 and 1781. Their mining methods were simple. Placer gold was recovered by winnowing (tossing the lighter materials away by gently shaking a blanket in the wind). Dry washers may also have been used. Their mining endeavors, almost recreational in nature (as they were not mining gold for a living) ended abruptly when the Yuma Indians attacked the two missions on July 17, 1781, killing at least 50 men and taking 67 women and children captive. Mining activity was resumed in this area only after the establishment of the Mexican Republic in 1823.2
Also worked in the 1780's were the placer grounds of Jackson Gulch and the oxided ores of Padre Madre Valley in the Cargo Muchacho Mountains. The Padre y Madre Mine, located 13 miles northwest of Yuma and 3 miles northwest of Ogilby, was one of the most extensively developed early mines. The mine enjoyed a modest production from the 1780's until 1894 with few interruptions. 3
Even the name of the mountain range speaks of the early interest in mining in the area. Reportedly in the early 1800s two young lads playing at prospecting in imitation of their fathers came into camp with their shirts loaded with gold ore. Their antics resulted in the name of Cargo Muchacho, for the mountains where they had made their find. Although it is difficult to estimate the area's gold production during the Spanish and Mexican eras (1780-1848) it was probably not more than half a million dollars. 4
William P. Blake, a geologist with Lt. Williamson's Pacific Railroad exploration party, was the first Anglo-American to visit the southern portion of the Cargo Muchacho Mountains with an eye toward mining. In 1853 he reported seeing several quartz veins from three inches to a foot or two in thickness. His observations were recorded in official government reports, but no one acted upon this evidence of possible mineralization until the Southern Pacific Railroad between Yuma and the coast was completed in 1877. With a safe means of transporting bullion to market now at hand, prospectors and developers flooded into the area.5
CARGO MUCHACHO MINE
One of the first deposits to be commercially developed on a large scale in the Cargo Muchacho Mountains was the Cargo Muchacho Mine. Located by Thomas Porter Neet in 1877, within 5 years 14,000 tons of ore had been mined, yielding $168,000 in gold. The ore averaged $12 per ton. The mine was surveyed for patent in 1892, but two years later it was idle. A six year renewal of activity began in 1936 when ore left on the mine dump was cyanided. Total production figures for the Cargo Muchacho Mine are estimated at more than 25,700 ounces of gold valued at $852,000.6
TUMCO MINE
Peter Walters discovered the Gold Rock Mine (located 4 miles northwest of the Cargo Muchacho Mine) in 1884, and shortly thereafter sold out to developers for $75,000. The developers renamed the mine the Golden Cross in 1892. The Golden Cross Mining and Milling Company immediately embarked upon a development program, and the flourishing town that sprang up around the mines was named Hedges, in honor of the firm's vice president. 7
The company paid $3 a day wages. This was reasonable in those days, but the successful camps as a rule always paid $4. This caused one irate miner to write to the Arizona Sentinel suggesting the company's name be changed to the “White Man's Slavery Company of California.” 8
In 1910 a new company took over and the mine was renamed Tumco, (an acronym for The United Mines Company). The Tumco mine was also known as the Hedges, Gold Rock, Golden Cross, Golden Crown, Golden Queen, Good Luck, King, Sovereign, Sovereign East, and Sovereign West mines. 9
Ore from both the Cargo Muchacho and Golden Cross mines was at first treated by the Yuma Mill and Mining Company's twenty-stamp mill located at El Rio, 6 miles south of Yuma. Later, the Golden Cross Mining and Milling Company began construction of a forty-stamp mill when their ore production overloaded the twenty-stamp mill in the early 1890's. By 1896 they had increased their mulling facilities to 100 stamps, but were experiencing considerable difficulty with recovering the gold from their low grade ore.
The company discovered in the spring of 1896 that finer crushing of the ore was needed to release the free milling gold from the matrix. Finer screens were installed as well, resulting in a greater percentage of gold saved. A 12-mile pipeline from the Colorado River supplied the mill reservoir with 250,000 gallons of water at a cost of about ten cents per ton of ore crushed. Worked continually from 1892 until 1917, and again from 1937 until 1942, the Tumco mines have produced 45 percent of the total county gold production, or some $2,863,000.10
In 1896, the shaft at the Golden Queen Mine was 550 feet deep on a 40 percent incline, and the Golden Cross and Golden Crown shafts were 250 feet and 350 feet deep respectively. By 1914, the Golden Cross shaft had been extended to 1,100 feet, and at that time the Tumco mines were said to be the second largest mine in the United States producing gold from low grade ore. Its underground workings total more than 8 miles. The town of Hedges (also renamed Tumco in 1910) supported a population of several thousand in the late 1800s. By 1900 there were several dozen buildings, two cemeteries, a dance hail, a volunteer fire department, and a miner's union. The population was reduced to 30 by 1942.11
PASADENA MINE
Between the discovery of Peter Walter's Gold Rock Mine in 1884 and the American Girl Mine in 1892, Thomas Grimes of Pasadena located the Pasadena Mine. Its ore ran 16 dollars to the ton in gold and was milled on the Colorado River. The Pasadena and the Guadalupe Mine (discovered in 1887) comprise with the Cargo Muchacho the easternmost mines of the Cargo Muchacho District.12
AMERICAN GIRL MINE
Johnson and Lohman discovered the American Girl Mine, located 2 miles north of the Cargo Muchacho Mine, in 1892. By 1900 it had produced 30,000 tons of ore that averaged $8 per ton in gold. Inactive from 1900 until 1913, during the next 3 years the mine went on to produce 20,000 tons of ore that averaged $6.50 per ton in gold. A cloudburst during the second week of November, 1914, flooded the lower workings, occasioning a 4 month delay while workers dewatered the mine and reopened the shaft. 13
Inactive for 20 years starting in 1916 the mine was again worked from July, 1936, until 1939 and during that time delivered 150,000 tons of ore valued at $900,000. Total estimated production of the American Girl Mine is 205,000 tons of ore valued at $1,285,000. Although mined primarily for gold, other minerals found at the American Girl include silver, galena and copper. Former state governor H. H. Markham owned shares in this mine). 14
Other important mines in the vicinity of the American Girl include the Blossom (known as early as 1894) the American Boy (an extension of the American Girl), Desert King, and La Colorado. The Blossom, also known as the Salamanca Consolidated, had 3 shafts 70, 240 and 280 feet deep, and several hundred feet of workings. It was in operation in the late 1890's. The La Colorado Mine, discovered in 1914, consisted of 400 feet of underground workings and has a recorded production of several hundred tons of ore. Some traces of sheelite (tungsten ore) is found at this gold mine.15
CARGO MUCHACHO DISTRICT
The Cargo Muchacho, Tumco, Pasadena and American Girl Mines comprise the major gold producers of the Cargo Muchacho District. This district is believed to be the northwestern extension of the famous gold belt of the Altar District of Sonora, Mexico. Although essentially a gold mining district some copper was produced as a by product of gold mining here, mainly at the American Girl Mine 16
Ore in this district contains free-milling gold or gold in disseminated pyrite. Gold alone and in association with silver and copper, and some sericite and kyanite are the only minerals extracted from the Cargo Muchachos, the latter two minerals have been produced mainly since 1930. Good samples of kyanite and quartz are to be found in the Cargo Muchacho Mountains. All the mineral deposits lie on the west side of the mountain range and strike westerly. The quartz veins are up to 8 feet thick in this region and contain the highest grade of gold ore found in Imperial County.17

In reply to: cbone who wrote msg# 651 Post # of 1053
Power Point presentation will be ready in January. Mr. Perez said gold would be higher then and more would be coming, but it would look like Victoria Gold presentation that has the Jack Creek piece in there.
Victoria has a Joint venture with USAUranium at Jack Creek and Victoria is owned by Kinross, Newmont, Blackmont and JP Morgan.
FYI Victoria only does a JV with a property that hold 2 million plus ounces.
This means $2 Billion at Jack alone. Look closely and you will see Dr. Abott of USAUranium at Victoria and Jack Creek is listed righ there in from of your eyes.
This is a penny stock sitting on $2 billion of assets there alone and they have a lot more coming.

Gold climbs as weak dollar boosts demand
Bullion set to clock 25-per-cent gain for the year
Jan Harvey
Thursday, December 31, 2009
London — Gold rose 1 per cent to above $1,100 an ounce in Europe on Thursday as the dollar slipped against the euro, boosting interest in the precious metal as an alternative asset.
Trading was thin in the run-up to the New Year holiday, with many market participants absent until Jan. 4.
Spot gold hit a high of $1,106.60 an ounce and was bid at $1,104.40 an ounce at 1209 GMT, against $1,092.55 late in New York on Wednesday.
Afshin Nabavi, head of trading at MKS Finance in Geneva, said moves in gold were being exaggerated by the thin market.
“The leaders seem to be euro/dollar and the oil price,” he said, adding rising Middle East tensions could further lift crude oil and consequently gold.
U.S. gold futures for February delivery on the COMEX division of the New York Mercantile Exchange rose $13.20 to $1,105.70.
The euro jumped nearly half a per cent against the dollar on Thursday, with the U.S. currency falling broadly on year-end position adjustment. Dollar weakness makes commodities priced in the U.S. unit cheaper for holders of other currencies.
Even before these losses, the dollar index was set to end 2009 down about 4 per cent, though it had risen 3.5 per cent.
Oil prices were steady below $80 a barrel, supported by a drop in U.S. crude stocks as the cold snap fuelled demand. Gold tends to track crude prices, as the metal can be bought as a hedge against oil-led inflation.
On the wider markets, European shares turned negative as investors pared back positions ahead of the New Year break, after gains in commodity stocks and banks amid firm risk appetite helped lift them 0.2 per cent earlier on Thursday.
Gold prices have risen around a quarter this year, peaking at a record $1,226.10 an ounce in early December. They have benefited at various times from fears over financial market stability, dollar weakness and worries over inflation.
Buying of investment products such as gold exchange-traded funds has lent strong support to prices. Holdings of the world's largest gold-backed ETF, New York's SPDR Gold Trust, have risen 353 tonnes or 45 per cent in the year to Dec. 30.
Analysts say the outlook for prices in 2010 is uncertain, with much depending on the inflation and U.S. monetary policy. A rise in U.S. interest rates could lift the dollar, and consequently weigh on gold.
Precious metals house Heraeus said in a research note it sees gold prices at an average $1,175 an ounce next year.
“The upward trend, despite the recent setback, should initially stay intact,” it said. “Any rally should continue to be driven by investors, and they will prefer investing in physical metal.”
“A change in the overall positive attitude could happen once the low interest rates in the U.S. and Europe change,” it said. “Any bigger hike here is not to be expected before 2011.”
Among other precious metals, palladium rose more than 2 per cent to break through the $400 an ounce level for the first time since July 2008, with firm investment demand and gains in gold helping to lift prices.
Palladium hit a peak of $404 an ounce and was later at $399.50 versus $391, while platinum was at $1,459 versus $1,454 and silver at $16.99 versus $16.79.
Investment demand for platinum and palladium through ETFs has represented a solid source of demand this year.
Holdings of ETF Securities' London platinum-backed exchange-traded product have more than doubled this year to Dec. 29, while those of its London palladium ETP have almost quadrupled.

Precious Metal Trader John Perez Bullish on Junior Mining Stocks
Submitted by Baruti M. Kamau on Wed, 12/09/2009 - 11:54
Las Vegas, Nevada - With gold recently trading in excess of $1200 per ounce on the spot market many executives of junior mining companies are positioning their entities to function as recepticles for the new money that is finding its way into the industry. According to an article entitled "Money flocks to junior gold explorers with big resource" by Marc Davis of BNWnews.ca and distributed by MineWeb.com on 12/07/2009: "...multi-billion dollar hedge funds are beginning to diversify into gold exploration companies - at least the ones that have especially large in-development gold assets. This is because these gold stocks are increasingly assuming a newly-found collective role as a powerful inverse proxy to the weakening US dollar. In this regard, they are proving as attractive as gold bullion, itself. And though they are far riskier investments when compared to owning physical gold, they have been offering much greater returns as of the past few months."
USA Uranium Corp. (Pink Sheets: USAU) a junior mining company with 2 in-development properties and additional properties coming into their possession believes they are next in line as one of the junior mining companies to receive sizeable investments from international hedge funds and other financiers. According to telephone interview conducted by this writer with John Perez, Director of Communications for USA Uranium Corp. great news concerning financing and additional gold properties are pending. To paraphrase Mr. Perez: "Instead of using our money to buy the services of stock promoters, we used our money to buy assets...It's hard building a company but that is where our loyalty is. We have a great team at hand and are confident we will deliver value to our shareholders." After careful review of the Jack Creek property containing 850,000 ounces of gold on the 43-101 report and further due diligence I noticed that Victoria Gold believes there are a minimum of 2 million ounces of gold in the Jack Creek property. Furthermore, according to a 2004 geological report prepared by Dr. Donald G. Strachan, an Economic Geologist M.Sc. CPG, the La Dama de Oro gold property "is 288,000 tons of ore containing 144,000 ounces of gold." At the time of this writing, those properties enjoy a combined value of $2,283,400,000 on the spot market.
Leveraging the stock of junior mining companies is the new trend sought by financiers as a result of the nine year decline in the production of gold. In effect there is a supply and demand factor that is fueling the bull market in gold. There is a lack of pure gold at hand in any given market; so the next logical move is to build a huge position in undervalued junior mining companies that own properties with a history of production. Leverage will result from the speculation that such properties will continue to produce. More leverage will ensue when the properties actually produces ore. And of course there is additional leverage on top from the profits acquired through the physical sell of newly produced gold to the marketplace. The downside to such logic and or speculation in the current bull market in gold is a strong US dollar.
For long-term shareholders, Mr. Perez contends that USAU is undervalued and should have a current open market value of 23 cents per share. With optimism and belief that the future bodes well for USA Uranium's shareholders, Mr. Perez portends USAU can trade as high as $2.50 sooner than we think. He says his 10 year track record as a precious metal trader gives him a better perspective on creative ways to capitalize off the 21st century gold rush. And he is confident that pending press releases will support such claims.
Trading around 2 cents per share, wise investors may want to consider purchasing the shares of this unknown but promising junior mining company.
Finally, this writer was successful in verifying with USA Uranium Corp. officials that a listing on the Amex will be sought when their stock price stabilizes at $2.50 per share.Disclaimer: The Barutiwa Daily Times and its writers are not investment professionals.
