POST 8: HERE WE GO AGAIN ANOTHER TITAN MINERALS SCAM CYCLE
As I have said in my previous post on Titan Minerals they are a SCAM company running a SCAM internal trading operation in order to make the company appear to be alive. After my previous posts detailing just what they were doing the company took its longest pause at least in the last 12 months in this process hoping I would not notice or lost interest in exposing the company for the SCAM it is. So for weeks now the stock price remained at .02 USD flat lined and then the start again of the SCAM the old "wash rinse and repeat again" program all over again. I looked at Titans prices yesterday and sure enough in the past week off it goes again from .02 USD up to the .09 USD and climbing as I clearly showed in previous post. The volume for this 1.4 BILLION shares outstanding company the daily volume yesterday was only 700 shares traded with a 10 day average of shares traded of only 7800. In the known physics of the earth such numbers are IMPOSSIBLE given that the company has 1.4 BILLION shares outstanding UNLESS there is a routine inside buying to make the company appear to be still alive. The daily trading volume on a penny miner with 1.4 BILLION shares outstanding would be at the minimum 50,000 shares and that is an extremely rare slow day and as high as 500,000 shares on a busy day of panic BUT for Titan is was only 700 shares yesterday and the last 10 day average of 7800 shares traded.
Not even the dumbest newbie would fall for this blatant trading SCAM anD yet Titan continues on with it because that is all they can do and know how to do. As stated before in previous post what Titan management is doing is waiting for the massive world market collapse and in the chaos of it when millions of investors in all types of stock venues all over the world are losing all their money with no recourse, the company will then step into the fray with the millions of other companies of all types in this caldron of loses and slap on a bloody bandage and limp onto the battle field claiming they are just one of the victims also.
The dreaded reverse split I already spoke of will quickly an quietly happen in some sort of EMERGENCY meeting and the share count will be reduced by as much as a 1000 to 1 scalping that wipes out the share value all the current shareholders and the Scam starts all over again in the standard "wash rinse and repeat again" process so common to SCAMS found in the penny miners like Titan minerals. With a much higher share price in the 1000 to 1 reverse split Titan will remain briefly quiet and then when all the REAL miners who have endured the hardships of past years without running a SCAM like Titan has, then Titan will slip into the army of miners taking the price appreciation hill of the battle field acting as if it is one of the REAL legitimate miners.
With a new set of clean clothes in the REVERSE SPLIT OF 1000 TO 1 they will once again attract a hoard of newbies to buy Titans stock which will look like a grand deal as compared to the other REAL miners stock price and the SCAM starts all over again. This is the pattern I have seen over and over again in SCAM penny miners over the last 30 years and it works on newbies because there is a ""sucker born every minute."" "There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase closely associated with P. T. Barnum, an American showman of the mid-19th century and in there is no better place on earth to find them than newbie investors in the penny miners where fear and greed are the elixirs used by SCAMMERS like Titan Minerals that inhabits the waters of penny miners like pirates of days of old. There is a wealth of knowledge in my previous post and you newbies would be wise to read them and apply the wisdom not only to SCAM companies like Titan Minerals but to others that behave like them and save a lot of time and money in the learning process.

REASON 7 - PROOF OF TITAN MINERALS SCAM - JUST LOOK AT THE CURRENT YEARLY GRAPH - LIPSTICK ON A PIG
As I have posted in especially the first 3 post in this series of exposing Titan Minerals as a SCAM company, just look at the price volume on yahoo.finance.com from today December 5, 2021 going back one year and the evidence is plain to see and if you cannot see it then get out of investing before you lose the family fortune. As stated in post 1 & 2 in this series (please read) Titan is blatantly manipulating the Titan share price to give the image that the company is being actively traded and to keep the price from collapsing to its true value of .0001 USD. Titans manipulators have already let this greased pig slip out of their hands down to .0002 USD which is the kiss of death for Titan which they have no intention of letting happen again until the end game happens when they do a RS REVERSE SPLIT.
When I posted articles 1 & 2 I specifically reference this manipulation giving the price at that time which is the SAME price of .02 USD and showed it taking off to above to between .10 to .11 where it halted. I said then that it would once again return to the same value of .02 and repeat this cycle again until the SCAM artist at Titan repeats this again until the REVERSE SPLIT is perpetrated wiping out the current shareholders starting the SCAM all over again. In post 5 & 6 especially post 6 I gave the method which they will do all of this, it is a picture of the future for Titan. The ONLY savior for the company which I gave 4 conditions one of which is the total removal of the entire corporate officers and many below them that are perpetrating this SCAM after the REVERSE SPLIT happens. This will not happen because the corporate officers run the SCAM and it is their cash cow.
I stated in post 5 & 6 to expect the REVERSE SPLIT to happen in 2022 but did not elaborate on this because I was waiting for information and world market movements which such info is just now beginning to present itself. Given the evidence in my previous 6 post exposing Titan as a SCAM it is my opinion that the worlds markets will soon implode on themselves like the world of investments have never seen before in the history of humans. What Titan SCAMMERS will do is to wait for this black hole event and then let their share price plummet to the true value of .0001 and be out there on the news crying their eyes out like every other scam company big and small and there are a huge amount of big companies especially in the technologies and consumer markets.
Titan SCAMMERS will point to this cataclysmic event of investments worldwide and say, "we have no choice but to do a REVERSE SLIT in order to save the company." The RS will happen in all the chaos when no one is looking and the SCAM process will start all over again because the same SCAMMERS are still running the show. With drastically reduced shares outstanding they will wait until after the initial financial blood bath in the markets world wide has settled on its first leg down (many legs to the bottom like in 1929 crashed until 1932) to start pumping their NEW REDUCED SHARES FOR SALE. Titan SCAMMERS will post their NEW recovery plan boasting of very low outstanding shares (after RS) and waiving their exploration result (true or fake who knows?) and push hard to proclaim Titan is the best deal of all the small penny exploration companies and that this is the NEW Titan lean and mean and ready to mine.
Of course they have no idea how to mine anything, have zero preparations for it and they WILL NOT tell you at the very minimum it will take 7 years to pour their first gold and that is if they have a huge amount of funding coming in which they won't and they were experienced at bring in a mine which they are not. Titan SCAMMERS will point to the parabolic rise in Gold and Silver and use propaganda that they will be producing soon and that Titan shares are a real bargain. Just read the disclaimers of the viability of the company at the end of their news releases or in their website as these statements are their get out of jail free card.
Newbies to the penny miners will fail to read the truth about Titan and seeing its low share count (after the RS) and low price as compared to all the other legitimate companies will back up their truck and load up on Titan shares thinking they will make a killing. The reality will be that Titan share price will go up but a fraction to that of the real companies and then will slowly fall as these foolish investors wise up and begin selling off their shares for companies that are not SCAMS. Nothing will change at Titan as "snake oil salesmen" will fail and since no one there has any ability or real intention of mining anything and no other larger producer will want a takeover of Titan because there will be an abundance of other small companies in safe mining jurisdictions possibly in close distance from the large one for operation.
As stated in previous post, LOCATION in todays world for small explorations should be at the top of your evaluation and Titans properties have none in stable locations (read previous post) and NONE close to any real producers who maybe interested in a buyout. The bottom line is there is a lot of good small exploration companies out there in safe locations so only a fool will buy into this PIG with LIPSTICK ON. My follow up to this will be posted when time allows and as events evolve which you can expect in the next month or two so be ready for it.
REASON 6 TITAN MINERALS WILL FAIL
As stated before I have only posted one time before (individual small miner) on any message board and it and Titan were/are both SCAM companies and I also have stated that I never respond to anyone's comments on the boards. I broke this rule only once and responded to an individual regarding Titan Minerals of which my response to him was posted on the boards which should not have been and why I never respond in the past. He responded again to my recent post on this board called THE DEATH DANCE OF TITAN MINERALS A SCAM PENNY MINER. This is NOT a response to this individuals post but a clarification to all those who are inexperienced in the wild rough world of the penny miners which is like a fire fight in the investment world.
It is evident from this persons post that he is possibly a seasoned investor and yes one can make a profit from current in an out trading of the SCAM price manipulation the company is doing to keep Titans price from totally collapsing. Given the consistent low volume of around 20k per day average over a 10 day period your profit in this would be very tiny. If Titan was actually legitimate their trading volume would be huge each day and such a method would bring in some income for a trader IF they watched very carefully and set their buy and sell limits in carefully.
Case in point from my distant past was a small miner in the USA many years ago that had the same EXACT price fluctuations as Titan has today which I began to trade in and out or clearing $300 USD every 3 weeks to the day for and entire year, a real no brainer. Several months into these patterns as I collected my profits buying a 100,000 shares at a time of a company that was obviously dead in my evaluations and with the most perfect graph pattern I have ever seen in 30 years even to this day I finally contacted the company on their phone number out of curiosity and to my surprise someone answered. It was the FORMER president of the company who said he left his personal phone number up out of a sense of duty to warn everyone that the company had actually gone out of business a year before and that he had NO idea why the trading pattern that existed was happening. He told me the company had to fold because the government regulations were so extensive that even though the gold deposits were real that a small legitimate miner could not survive and could not buy off the regulators so they folded. I continued to do the 3 week cycle for an entire year until one week the profit dropped in half when I finally stopped and shortly after that it all flat lined. The point of this is yes you can trade in and out of such companies even when they don't exist BUT you have to have volume which Titan DOES NOT have because the company is manipulating them from the inside to give the appearance of stability with 1.4 billion shares. This is the only possibility for such low volume cycles with a company of 1.4 BILLION shares out there. If it were an outside trader doing this they would probably lose money and not be worth the trouble considering trading fees etc., at least not for me.
The individual poster made the point and posted the drill results and yes these results may be accurate which is at this stage TOTALLY irrelevant (see post 1 & 2) in that Titan has 1.4 billion shares out there and a REVERSE SPLIT will happen in the near future wiping out any stock value on all investors. The other major factor is that the people running the company have NO IDEA about mining or exploration OR they are a SCAM company deliberately, either way they are the same a SCAM. Some junior miners may begin with good intentions but do to total incompetence they turn into scammers as it is personally profitable for them in collecting nice pay checks. ANY small company that pays their executives fats pay checks are SCAMS 100% regardless of what they alleged they have in the ground. Such companies begin collecting people with alleged big university degrees which in itself is a major red flag as a SCAM operation. I was around universities directly and indirectly for about 30 years and at times was involved with such people (was married to a Phd in chemistry for 25 years) so I know exactly how that game is played. Titan has in the past months posted all the great (educated people) they have on their team now which is really a big red flag for any real investor where the old saying of "to many chiefs and not enough indians" is very applicable here.
Titan is a SCAM for many reasons which I have already explained in detail and the poster states I should contact Titan personally of which I have not stated before that I already have done so regarding my previously stated once in a lifetime response to the poster and was never responded to by Titan for obvious reasons. Before Titan the Dynasty property was actually Dynasty a tiny miner I bought into years before when I was still dabbling in Latin American properties (no longer so) and it was name changed to Core Gold which did not change the equation and was actually a possible positive event and then came along the very hostile take over by Titan of Core Gold where Titan screwed over some/many of the holders of Core using false and mythical conversion numbers all documented in an investigation. Any company that behaves like this is a SCAM first rate. As stated before it was only then did I actually looked at and evaluate Titan and it was a 100% certainty that Titan was a SCAM because of its corporate officers and managers and on down. I already knew about the potential of the Dynasty project because I knew the original company and whether there are actual large scale deposits is still unproven for sure. To clarify also my investment lost with Core Gold was only $100 USD (cost of dinner out) and I have all the money I could ever spend in one life time so going after Titan is about justice and stopping a SCAM company from doing any more harm.
As stated in my last post which EVERY newbie should read over and over again the previous post regarding ALL junior exploration companies that operated like Titan are pure SCAMS on their face value. As stated at the end of the last post and as I usually do when dealing with people or companies or agencies regardless of how slimy they are or big they think they are I give them a chance to save themselves even though I see no possibility with Titan as it is to ingrained with incompetence/corruption (take your pick) as it really does not mater which at this stage. One of the key rules of War is to know the enemy and I fully understand Titan and companies like it. The last paragraph of my last post is worth reading and worth reflecting on. My only words if I did contact Titan which I will not do again is YOU ARE ALL FIRED.
Titan Minerals has ZERO chance of success UNTIL 4 events happen. (1) There is a major REVERSE SPLIT from 1.4 Billion shares down to 1,400,000 million shares in a 1 for 1000 split. (2) Convert all debt to shares after the reverse split (3) FIRE the entire corporate officers just to start with and work down the food chain of employees. (4) Cut out all the fringe benefits and waste and focus like a laser beam on one purpose to start at least limited production on the most probable property the company has. You can drill a property until hell freezes over and theorize for years about resources BUT until you actually process the ore in at least limited amounts from exposed veins then the company is behaving like a SCAM. All 4 are possible if someone with a set of balls was in charge but it is all about politics of people who are cowards from the top executives on down to the geologist and engineers who want to play it safe and keep drilling BECAUSE this is what everyone else does and no one wants to take any chances even the most economical, in short it is a big fraternity club of fools which turns a company into a SCAM. Constant drilling using up all the financial resources of a company and then the so called experts sit around theorizing the potential because that is all they are smart enough to do instead of actually going into the field and expose the known vein outcrops and take the strike (compass direction) and dip of the veins and compare them with any drill results and them start mining down dip to prove the formation while actually milling small scale and producing gold to prove it and pay for the activity is just to much for these arm chair losers. This is what Titan Minerals is because they ALL just want to collect their pay check like government officials do in the USA.
The greatest gold rush in the history of earth was in the Witwatersrand in Africa beginning in the mid 1800's when there were real miners and men and they did not sit around drilling THEY MINED DOWN DIP for over a hundred years. Titan minerals is a SCAM because of the people who run it not because of assets in the ground and that corporate culture that steals another company from shareholders, and inflates their shares to pay for their lifestyle and have no real intention of ever mining anything will not end well so stay well clear of these buffoons because Titan is going down.

THE DEATH DANCE OF TITAN MINERALS A SCAM PENNY MINER
As stated in post 1 & 2 Titan Minerals is doing the DEATH DANCE with 1.4 BILLION shares outstanding and rhythmic price fluctuations from around $.02 USD to around $.09 USD on NANO size volume for a company with 1.4 Billion shares. If you doubt this just go to Yahoo Finance and enter Titans symbol and then go to the 1 year chart from November 25, 2020 to November 25, 2021. What you see is a cookie cutter price pattern of repetition (as stated in post 1 & 2) going back one year and a straight line consistent volume of around 20K per day. The volume looks like a fresh mowed lawn which is totally impossible with a company that has 1.4 BILLION shares unless there is complete price manipulation by the company to keep its real price value from dropping to $.0001 USD. Daily volume on a penny miner with 1.4 BILLION shares should be minimum of 10 MILLION shares per day and Titan consistently has only 20K per day. You have to be a moron with an IQ of a grasshopper not to have this jump out and hit you if the face like bag of nickels. As stated before this is inside price manipulation by Titan itself buying at .02 for a set limit price between .09 and .011 so it does not collapse to .0002 which it has when Titan manipulators lost their grip on this slippery pig. SO WHAT IS THE FUTURE SCENARIO LOOK LIKE FOR TITAN MINERALS......HERE IT IS STEP BY STEP.
Titan Minerals is doing the perfect example of a DEATH DANCE of a SCAM company just like a drowning person does when they panic and thrash around the most just before going under. The difference in this analogy is that Titan is doing this deliberately to suck in the last bit of suckers in the form of newbie stock buyers and out right stupid or possibly corrupt investment firms (see post 3) running their own SCAM possibly in collusion with Titan to get volume loan money from a group of people (reference 18 million AUD loan) who were hyped and conned into investing cash in Titan. You can bet the farm that Titan will in the next few months be looking for more money once that 18 Million AUD has been burned through and disappears like a fart in a hurricane, and when there is no more they will do a REVERSE SPLIT and wipe out all the current stock holders and start the SCAM all over again. The investors who were conned by referral company into investing 18 Million AUD in Titan will be told DON'T WORRY your investment is safe because it is a loan and the only people who get screwed over and wiped out is the current stock holders and such a massive stock reduction will give the company a new start and make their loan even more secure.
This all sounds good to the cash investors until not long after the REVERSE SPLIT the corporate officers of Titan just cannot seem find the cash to pay the loan payment installments because they have no real income and never will because they are a SCAM. Their excuse will be we are trying to be responsible managers of the company and not inflate away the stock value by increasing the outstanding shares again. Titan officers will tell the loan holders that the company WILL give them Titan stock shares at the current stable and much higher stock price after the REVERSE SPLIT and that the company is now very responsible in not inflating away the value of those shares and that good times are ahead because of the company property assets in Ecuador so their share price will only increase and they point to the drill and sample results of the Ecuador property. This reminds me of the old cartoon classic HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS when the Grinch gets caught in the middle of the night by the little girl Cindy Lou Who stealing the Christmas tree and he being a slippery character points out that there is a bubble that does not light and Santa was taking it back to his work shop to fix it and would bring it right back. Sounds like a winner to the stupid bond holders of TITAN.
After the REVESE SPLIT Titan corporate officers then start the SCAM all over again with no debt and a low share count and their self appointed high salaries and perks while they wave around the alleged drill results and post pictures of alleged machinery operating on Titans properties claiming great progress. You can bet that NONE of these alleged operations have any real bearing on the actual starting a mine operation (see post 4) which as stated before is like the logistics of the D-Day invasion of Europe.
SO, Titan will have ZERO debt a very low share count and let the party begin again. The corporate officers will come up with all types of pretend ways to spend the money from stock sales which they are actually spending on themselves and yes some to make it appear progress is being made. The soul purpose of these type of people is to support their life styles until the SCAM can no longer be repeated and not about any serious mining of property assets. This is not to say there is not potential profitable metal in the ground but these SCAM characters have no idea as to what to do with it and it is far easier for them to just pretend like actors and collect their fat pay checks and perks. LET THESE SCAMMERS collect their pay ONLY in stock in Titan at current prices and that they cannot cash such stock in until a mine is profitably brought to production and ONLY then will the SCAM end.
The precious metal suppression by the central banks of the world is coming to an end and gold and silver will go parabolic to levels I cannot even image. When this happens the large current producers will scramble to to buy up as many small exploration miners with viable property and it is possible that Titan Minerals will try to join the sea of exploration companies out right selling the company for cash OR a stock swap. Any real producers will examine not only Titans in ground asset data but also the company past and present financials and given there are MANY good small companies in stable parts of the world Titan will quickly be passed over. IF Titan should get lucky and be bought out for its assets and get an all cash buy out then the Game is over as Titans corporate officers will take the money and vanish considering this as their pension retirement pay off and all you fools who bought stock will lose it all.
I doubt any producer would touch a toxic company like Titan and the company will plod along inflating its share count once again with a lot of activity because there will be an influx of newbie amateur's buying up anything that is remotely related to mining as gold and silver prices go parabolic. Just like in the movie "Ground Hog Day" the company wakes up again with another REVERSE SPLIT and repeats it all again. Some day many years from now when all the other small exploration companies are either producers themselves or sold their companies to the big producers of today there will be a company that picks up Titans properties from another company at a fire sale price and when the name Titan Minerals will just be a distant memory and anyone who invested in it in the past lost all their money long ago. THERE IS A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE SO BELLY UP TO THE BAR AND FILL UP ON TITAN MINERALS.
The ONLY possible savior for Titan Minerals in the future after their coming REVERSE SPLIT in 2022 is IF after this REVERSE SPLIT ALL the corporate officers are fired and most of the alleged geologist and managers along with them that have any involvement in the SCAM operation and a real old school hard ass field geologist who is well versed in business takes over the company. Such a man would cut expenses to the bone do a detail evaluation of the trenching data and drill results and then start exploration mining of the expose vein deposits of the richest content and mine down vein proving the real value of the deposits while at the same time paying for the project from the metals retrieved using just a skeleton crew basic machinery and he would be on location all the time and have no office to hide in. The chance of this is as high as the current share count of 1.4 BILLION shares, that is 1 in a 1.4 Billion probability. Buying lottery tickets is a better business than Titan in its current situation.

7 TO 15 YEARS TO BRING IN A MINE
It takes 7-15 years to bring in a mine into production and that is after all the drilling is done and the drill information is fully mapped out in order to begin. The logistics of equipment for the mining activity, milling plant and living quarters permits for the operations etc and then there is the political instabilities and pay offs, weather conditions preventing set ups and labor issues is like the D-Day invasion of Europe and then there is the financials which is the real lynch pin for Titan Minerals. As already explained in posts 1 & 2, Titan Minerals as my father would put it Titan Mineral "does not have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of" with 1.4 BILLON outstanding shares. YES they claim to have funding of 18 million Australian Dollars (see email in POST 3) but that will be gone very soon and what do they do then with 1.4 BILLION shares outstanding (see post 1 & 2) and no more funding. They have already run their credit cards in both selling shares and loan funding to the maximum and there is no fairy God Mother for such a company with a hand full of drill reports and trenching results that may or may not be legitimate. Given Titans past behavior regarding the acquisition of properties, anything they publish in my opinion is very suspect (future post on that issue).
Even IF everything they published on the Dynasty project is true it will do them no good. Their 1.4 Billion share count and in house price manipulation to keep the share price from collapsing to $.0001 will keep ANY other funding or possible joint venture or buy out from a larger producer from stepping in and then there is the political stability location of the property (see post on Location). Today the western USA (think Nevada) and Mexico and Canada are hot with junior exploration companies with small shares outstanding and that have a track record and assets in ground. Any real investor or producing mining company looking for new property to expand on would laugh at Titans current situation. Some day in the distant future some of Titans properties will be mined but Titan Minerals will be a distant memory and so will any money you invest in it. I would not buy Titan Minerals today even if the price was at $.0001 per share because they will soon do a REVERSE SPLIT (see post 1 & 2) and wipe out any shares bought and start all over again with their SCAM of a company. Think VERY carefully before you get involved with such a basket case of a company. Read the below from Titans own website in very fine print on the site and then look for a real small exploration company to invest in and there are plenty of them with properties in the USA, Mexico and Canada.
JORC Code is the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Titans OWN WEBSITE states:
"The Mineral Resource Estimates for the Dynasty Gold Project and the Jerusalem Project are not reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. A competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the foreign estimate as mineral resources in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the foreign estimates will be able to be reported as mineral resources or ore reserves in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. For further information please refer to the relevant initial Announcements being the ASX release dated 30 April 2020 with respect to the Dynasty Gold Project and the ASX release dated 21 September 2020 with respect to the Jerusalem Gold Project."
LOCATION....LOCATION.....LOCATION...Titan Minerals Does Not Have It
Location of mineral property in todays world is a key factor in evaluating the viability of any company especially a penny miner who has little resources and even smaller amount of political muscle. Right now in the current financial/political atmosphere there are only 3 locations on earth that experienced investors and mining companies will invest in and those are the United States, Canada and Mexico. ALL other locations are subject to government confiscation or extortion of exorbitant fees (bribe money) or lack of sufficient infrastructure to even explore potential property let alone even mine them. You can tell a great deal about a small miner and if they are a potential SCAM by looking at where their property is located. Titan Minerals an Australian company has all their eggs in one basket in Ecuador in South America which in itself is suspicious given that it is an Australian company that has the entire CONTINENT of Australia a mineral rich location to explore in and where is all their projects.....Ecuador in South America.
Titan Minerals itself is an investors nightmare because it is an Australian company that has all its eggs in one basket in South America. Just being an Australian company qualifies it to be blacklisted as a country that has sold out to the world banking cabal, totally unstable today and Australian companies notoriously invest in the worlds worst. NO SANE investor or mining operation in todays atmosphere is investing in either South America or Central America and according to Titans own website they are, "Aggressively Exploring Potentially World Class Assets in Southern Ecuador" and "Titan Minerals is an exploration and development company focused on exploring and developing potential Tier One projects in Ecuador’s southern Andean copper-gold belt." Early in 2021 I spent 2 full months reviewing all the small precious metal mining companies on earth that are traded on the OTC market to finish out my over 30 years of investing in the small miners and have in place orders to buy stock in 98 different companies. My 2 top criteria are shares outstanding (See post 1 & 2) and where their properties are located at. Within a minute I can determine if the company is even viable for further investigation. This is NOT to say that I did not pass over a few potentially good ones BUT there are plenty of others (more than I could even deal with) that fit the first evaluation in the weed out process. Titan Minerals is an Australian company which is a read flag in itself and to compound that their only properties are in South America.
To sum this POST up, copied below is an email I sent on November 14, 2021 to a company involved with Titan Minerals:
Canaccord Genuity, Australia
Titan Minerals website states, "A capital raising of A$18 million was completed to clients of Canaccord Genuity, Australia. Significantly, Canaccord took its 5% placement fee in shares and private high-yielding lenders to the company also got behind the group converting and/or agreeing to convert outstanding debts into equity at the same price as the raising. The Company is now well funded for its immediate exploration programs." IF you have been involved with Titan Minerals listed on the OTC USA market symbol TTTNF then your company deserves the losses you will get. Take the time to read my 2 beginning post on Titan Minerals UR's below. These are just 2 of a series exposing Titan Minerals as a SCAM. That alleged 18 million well funded money will be pissed away and after that any debt transfer to stock share will be REVERSED SPLIT reduced to NOTHING. Find the idiot in your company who got you involved with Titan and fire them before they can do more damage. Titan is having a good laugh at you fools. The deep pockets where this money came from will sue you for gross negligence.

NUMBER 2 REASON NOT TO INVEST IN TITAN MINERALS (Please Read Number 1 Reason First)
As clearly stated in Number 1 Reason, Titan Minerals is a SCAM and FRAUD operation or run by the most incompetent people in the industry which in the penny miners is all one in the same. Number 2 Reason is a continuation and explanation of how Titan gets away with this FRAUD while it pretends to be legitimate. The process Titan follows is the same SCAM for all SCAM operations so use these words of wisdom regarding other companies.
There are 3 parts to REASON 2 that work together in evaluating Titan as a SCAM. (1) Past 1 and 3 year price lows; (2) Price fluctuations in those time periods, most important in the 1 year period; and (3) Volume of shares traded in those periods especially the 1 year period for SCAM companies like Titan with massive share counts of 1.4 Billion.
PART (1): Look at the price graph of Titan as well as ANY other SCAM miner like Titan and the truth will hit you in the face like a bag of nickels. Titans 1 year price low as of November 10, 2021 is $.0002 USD per share and as I stated in REASON 1 the actual real price is $.0001 USD. The only reason why I'm generous enough to even give it a price of .0001 USD is that Titan does have viable property BUT Titan will never mine it under its current situation, or be able to do anything with these properties that will end in any benefit to the shareholders. There are 3 quick checks to look at as soon as you have evaluated shares outstanding (REASON 1). First is the low stock price in the past 1 year and then 3 years. SCAM companies like Titan you usually need not go back further than 1 year and look at the price fluctuations in that time period. Titan officials slipped and briefly dropped the ball and allowed the true or close to it real price per share to drop to $.0002 USD. Titans officials have to keep up the façade image that their share price has value to the inexperienced eye in order to keep suckering in fools to buy the shares at the higher prices AND to sucker in loan money into their scam as their share sales plummet as more people see them as SCAM and look for better companies. This is where point 2 comes in of price manipulation.
PART (2): Titans shares are essentially worthless with a true value of $.0001 USD which Titan has slipped up and allowed to drop to $.0002 cents USD in the past 12 months so they manipulate the price increases on very small volume of only 20,000 shares in a 10 day average. They do this easily by having one of their people with a trading accounts buy a small amount of shares (say 10,000) at $.09 USD for only $900 USD and instantly the new price of Titan is $.09 USD and shows up on the market as such as the current price. A quick look at Titans 1 year chart shows this same repetition repeatedly as soon as the share price gets down to around $.02 USD it rebounds again to the magical level between $.09 and $.11 cents per share for no viable reason other than the price is being manipulated as a con game. Titan is able to run this con game manipulation because of low volume which is point 3.
PART (3): This happens on low volume because NO REAL INVESTOR would buy into this SCAM and Titan cannot attract the volumes of investors as they did before when they had low outstanding shares thus no one out side Titans SCAM is buying except an occasionally newbee investor that does not know how the game is played. These newbees with no experience see Titan website and think they are legitimate and sees these price fluctuations and jumps in not realizing the real price per share is really $.0001 USD and they buy between $.02 and .09 USD and then the real price finally sets in at $.0001 USD just before the DREADED RS REVERSE SPLIT happens wiping away all but a few of their shares.
SUMMARY: The 12 month low in stock price is the real standard at what the scam penny stock is worth with the 3 year low as back up data. Scam companies price fluctuations are dramatic and a look at Titans graph over the past year and 3 years speaks volumes into what a SCAM they are. Titans 1 year low is $.0002 USD and a high of $.245 USD on the OTC market with a current price of $.0202 USD with a current outstanding share count of 1.4 BILLION shares. SO, within 1 year the price of Titan with 1.4 BILLION shares outstanding went from $.0002 to $.245 and then back to $.0202. If you are an investor even a first timer newbee who does not see something seriously wrong with this then just hit delete on this article because you are to stupid to survive in the investments of the penny stocks.
The price of Titan on November 9, 2021 was $.0202 cents (scam price itself) and then magically by November 12, 2021 it jumps all the way up to $.09 USD on a 10 day average share volume of only 20,000 which is micro volume (more like nano volume) for a company that has 1.4 Billion shares outstanding and tradable and Titan is freely trading is a SCAM. Companies like Titan Minerals are well oiled Scams with a small staff of people in the back room who work close to perpetrate their scam of inflating share count to pay for their lavish life styles and when the share count gets up to where Titans is now they do a RS Reverse Split and start the SCAM all over again suckering in new investors that think the company has reformed and with a new low outstanding share count and properties then the company is a bargain. The same people operate these SCAMS in boiler rooms and I expect they get a good laugh at all those who invest in Titan.
The Author of this post is a 30 year veteran of the penny stock miners and precious metals industry. He will be posting a series of explanations of why Titan Minerals is a Scam company.
REASONS WHY YOU DO NOT WANT TO OWN TITAN MINERALS
NOTE: Penny stocks have been defined in 2 ways according to what market they are traded on. On the higher exchanges like the NYSE, Nasdaq etc they are defined as anything below $5 USD per share. On the lower market of the OTCBB they are considered anything below $1 USD. My personal view is any price below 50 cents in USD. For this analysis and all others the 50 cent mark will be used.
REASON 1: The number one thing I look at first which sets the tone for all other data on a company is their shares issued and outstanding. Shares issued is the maximum shares the company can sell which can be increased from the initial offering or beginning of the company. Issued shares number is important but far more important and relative to the initial evaluation is the shares outstanding which is for short definition is how many of the issued shares have already been sold or promised in some fashion.
A large mature miner who is a metal producer with good assets in the ground and has a legitimate staff of corporate officers can carry a high share count of the upper hundreds of millions is acceptable. Case in point look at Majestic Silver the largest, most efficient, and most profitable silver miners in the world that is run by one of the top 10 CEO's/Presidents of all mining companies in the world has a share count of only 256.6 million shares outstanding currently as of November 2021. Large efficient producers can buy back their shares from profits and reduce the share count on an annual basis which for the remaining shares holders is like a yearly bonus long term.
The penny miners especially in my category of below 50 cents per share that have a high share count is the kiss of death and certain loss for inexperience investors who invest in them. Titan currently has 1.4 Billion shares that is 1,400,000,000 shares outstanding that they have sold off in some way. THERE IS NO WAY THAT Titan can survive and develop into production on any of its properties NOR can it even do drill exploration projects on them for possible joint operations with another company to prove the assets with such a massive share count. Such large share counts is like people who run up their credit cards into the 100,000's of dollars on a McDonalds salary, NO chance to survive with out default. Such massive share counts as Titan has is just a con game or gross negligence in operation of a miner, there IS NO OTHER EXPLANATION. Default means they do the DREADED REVERSE SPLIT.
Titan has been having a real party with selling off all those shares and has NO VIABLE property which they can draw future revenues from to bail them out and the properties they have are far from being even evaluated and proven in order to get viable funding for mining these properties. ANY PENNY MINING company that runs its share count up as high as Titan has done IS A SCAM and Titan has ONE BILLION...FOUR HUNDRED MILLION shares outstanding. The dreaded REVERSE SPLIT is on the horizon for TITAN which is a form of self bankruptcy carried out by the corporate officers which wipes the current value of the shareholders (that is you boys and girl) to virtual nothing. Titans currents share price as of November 10, 2021 is .0202 USD (that is 2 cents) which for a share count of 1,400,000,000 is an exorbitantly high price for any penny miner and given their current situation the real share price should be .0001 USD. Only you fools who have fallen for this CON GAME and I expect Titans own manipulation of the share price keeps it from crashing to the true value of .0001. Titan does have possibly viable properties but no hope of ever advancing them without wiping out completely the current value of the current shareholders in a reverse split
A reverse split is you the shareholder get dramatically reduced amount of shares for the amount you currently have thus bringing down the total shares outstanding for the company. You can expect Titan to do as much as a 1 to 1000 reverse split so if you have 10000 shares you get 10 shares in this RS reverse split and as soon as they do it they will restart their drunken spending of the reduced shares again driving the price down again. TITAN MINERALS IS A COMPLETE FRAUD.
Exploration penny miners if they are scams or their corporate team are just totally incompetent will run up share count rapidly pretending to be a big mover and shaker in the exploration field taking over other small companies in stock share payments like a drunk sailor. The fact is they are just EXPLORATION companies with no income and no real possibility for any from 3-5 years for placer mining and 7-15 for hardrock miners. There are exceptional placer miners/geologist who in the process of sampling a placer claim can actually produce on it small scale and make enough to pay the bills and even slowly build the processing and production up into major projects BUT such situations are rare in publicly traded companies. Hard rock miners can likewise do the same if they are operating a former old mine operation that has a lot of old debris waste piles from decades ago where with new technology can extract precious metals from such piles while they rebuild the old mine. These are exceptional cases and it takes extraordinary men in both geology and financials to pull it off without diluting the company share count in the selling of company shares. Titan Minerals at 1,400,000,000 shares outstanding is a crime scene photo of a SCAM COMPANY.
Author of this post has been an investor in the penny stock mining companies for over 30 years, he will be evaluating Titan Minerals in future post as a warning to those who either own the stock now or who are thinking about buying shares.
McGraw-Hill to Vend Broadcast Arm
By: Zacks Equity Research: "The McGraw-Hill Companies Inc. (MHP - Analyst Report) has decided to dispose its Broadcasting Group with an aim to re-evaluate its portfolio of businesses and concentrate more on global brands, and thereby enhance shareholder value through proper capital allocation. The company recently hired Morgan Stanley (MS - Analyst Report) for advice on the divestiture process." AND "McGraw-Hill, a publisher and provider of financial information and media services, is also assessing general and administrative expenses to run all its divisions smoothly."
What the above quotes are saying is that MHP has hit the ICEBERG and has turned the pumps on and are making ready the life boats. The ICEBERG is the collapsing economy and the hoards of either angry students that are refusing to buy the exorbitant priced text books or just can not afford the overall high price of college. Students are finally standing up and saying we have had enough and the professors that are in bed with the publishing companies and the publishing companies themselves can take their expensive text books and shove them.
This same type of social/economic movement will happen with the MHP's business information divisions when enough of the investment public have lost the shirts off their backs in collapsing markets. Who needs business information data when you have no money to invest and the quality of the information is suspect.
The dumping of the Broadcasting Group and Business Week Magazine before it, is just the beginning of the meat axe chopping off the companies appendages. I would dump the stock now and buy it back when I do some where below $1.00 when the company has shrunk back to it's former size for survival in the Greatest Depression we are just beginning to enter. For more information read the rest of my post on the major stock message boards and read my free informative site http://fallofthehouseofmcgrawhill.com/.
The Shrinking McGraw-Hill Company.
Below is an article by Shira Ovide that just came out that is saying what I said since 2006 and is in my free website http://fallofthehouseofmcgrawhill.com/ . McGraw-Hill is going to shrink back to their core business in this economic collapse happening now which will become the Greatest Depression in the economic history of humans . It has been happening since 2006 but the company has been trying to gloss it over-not any more, the cat is out of the bag. News Week Magazine publication was dumped and now their broadcast networks are on the block for sale and the national media is not even calling this economic down turn a Depression yet. Mcgraw-Hills Higher Education text book division has been in trouble since 2006 and cut backs have happened every year. Their "cat fight" with Prentice Hall Publishing(aka Pearson) over the supremacy of certain text books(by those of questionable mental stability) has taken the focus off what should be the real issues facing MHP. Those issues are the production of good basic text not Hollywood productions, at the lowest cost to students in this Greatest Depression. More on this in my next article. Those invested in MHP now best read my previous articles on the comparison between Barrick Gold Mining and McGraw-Hill Publishing and my free site http://fallofthehouseofmcgrawhill.com/ and re-evaluate as to whether they really want to be holding MHP stock. I have always made it clear that I think MHP will survive the coming long winter of the Greatest Depression but the company will only be a fraction of it's current size and the share price will end up below one dollar. Sell MHP now and buy one of the hundreds of excellent gold and silver mining companies and buy MHP back when I do when it is below one dollar.

The Incredibly Shrinking McGraw-Hill
By Shira Ovide
McGraw-Hill, best known for its ownership of Standard & Poor’s and for being among the biggest textbook companies around, is going on diet.
The company announced today it is putting its TV stations up for sale. Remember that McGraw-Hill already has sold another odd-fit media company in its portfolio, BusinessWeek magazine. (Yes, McGraw-Hill does own TV stations. Nine of them to be exact, including in big markets Denver and San Diego.)
McGraw-Hill also tucked another disclosure into its news release: ”The Company is also evaluating G&A costs across the corporation to ensure it continues to support its businesses efficiently.” This is code for “we’re looking to cut costs for people and other things. Watch out.”
The media businesses McGraw-Hill has sold or plans to sell aren’t huge chunks of the enterprise. McGraw-Hill said the TV stations had revenue of nearly $100 million last year, compared to total company revenue of $6.17 billion. BusinessWeek similarly was a speck.
McGraw-Hill Publishing or Barrick Mining Company? I my previous article "Compare MHP McGraw-Hill Publishing and ABX Barrick Gold ", I ask the reader to compare the option to either buying Barrick Gold Mining or McGraw-Hill Publishing. As stated I own neither company. In the past two months since the posting of this article the news has become even more grim, the unemployment now over 22%(the real figure) and home defaults falling off the edge of the Grand Canyon after a brief calm as the legal wrangling on foreclosures have been resolved. There is no doubt that the gold and it's gold and silver mining companies are just beginning their real bull market now and there will be years of increasing prices. You have to be living under a rock not to known this.
It is also obvious from recent news now being published on the main networks which means the story is already old news, that many of the college degrees today are not worth the paper they are printed on(much like the USD). It has also been in the news that the universities and colleges have grossly over expanded in the past 10 years and are in the beginning of a rapid contraction. Being an intelligent reader you can add these basic facts together and come up with the effect this will have on the publishing companies supplying those big fat glossy new text books with even fatter prices on them to prospective students.
The Student population at colleges and universities around the country and world is going to plummet and the students that do make it in will not buy the text books(See article on the site, "Below is a recent article from the New York Times"). Professors will keep their current text and use them until the pages fall out. Professors will also put several copies of the book used on reserve at the university library for their students to check out for the standard 2-3 hours to read and or copy select pages. McGraw-Hill and publishing companies like them with their egotistic driven thick, glossy books are going to be as lucrative as stock in the housing industry is today. So the question is do you want to be in a declining industry or a rising one? Think about it and Sell MHP and buy into the mining companies. For more information read the rest of my post on the major stock message boards and read my free informative site http://fallofthehouseofmcgrawhill.com/.
Below is a recent article from the New York Times. As stated in one of my previous articles, do you want to own Barrick Gold Corp ABX or McGraw-Hill Publishing MHP, at the beginning of this Bull Market in Precious Metals and the collapse of the old consumerism society where college degrees can not even guarantee a job at McDonalds. Maybe McGraw-Hill and the other publishing companies like it can re-tool and produce toilet paper instead of text books, for toilet paper always has a buyer. Or we can just place those text books in the bathrooms (outhouses for you homeless) like the old Sear & Roebuck catalogs I remember as a young boy. There's always a solution for those with an imagination. Maybe they will hire me as a problem solver?
NEW YORK TIMES
“WE all enjoy speculating about which Arab regime will be toppled next, but maybe we should be looking closer to home. High unemployment? Check. Out-of-touch elites? Check. Frustrated young people? As a 24- year-old American, I can testify that this rich democracy has plenty of those too.
About one-fourth of Egyptian workers under 25 are unemployed, a statistic that is often cited as a reason for the revolution there. In the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in January an official unemployment rate of 21 percent for workers ages 16 to 24.
My generation was taught that all we needed to succeed was an education and hard work. Tell that to my friend from high school who studied Chinese and international relations at a top-tier college. He had the misfortune to graduate in the class of 2009, and could find paid work only as a lifeguard and a personal trainer. Unpaid internships at research institutes led to nothing. After more than a year he moved back in with his parents.
Millions of college graduates in rich nations could tell similar stories. In Italy, Portugal and Spain, about one-fourth of college graduates under the age of 25 are unemployed. In the United States, the official unemployment rate for this group is 11.2 percent, but for college graduates 25 and over it is only 4.5 percent.
The true unemployment rate for young graduates is most likely even higher because it fails to account for those who went to graduate school in an attempt to ride out the economic storm or fled the country to teach English overseas. It would be higher still if it accounted for all of those young graduates who have given up looking for full-time work, and are working part time for lack of any alternative.
The cost of youth unemployment is not only financial, but also emotional. Having a job is supposed to be the reward for hours of SAT prep, evenings spent on homework instead of with friends and countless all-nighters writing papers. The millions of young people who cannot get jobs or who take work that does not require a college education are in danger of losing their faith in the future. They are indefinitely postponing the life they wanted and prepared for; all that matters is finding rent money. Even if the job market becomes as robust as it was in 2007 - something economists say could take more than a decade - my generation will have lost years of career-building experience.
The uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa are a warning for the developed world. Even if an Egyptian-style revolution breaking out in a rich democracy is unthinkable, it is easy to recognize the frustration of a generation that lacks opportunity. Indeed, the "desperate generation" in Portugal got tens of thousands of people to participate in nationwide protests on March 12. How much longer until the rest of the rich world follows their lead?”
The Q is still on the end because Kaplin wants to buy up as many of the shares from tired share holders as cheap as possible before finalizing the Bankruptcy as I said in a previous post. It is business and he is a business man trying to get as much in his pocket as he can. But I think the game has played out and prolonging the rebirth of Sterling will look foolish and play against the company in the long term image and trust which is important in the business. Share holders need to contact the company and ask about the rebirth and the shareholders. It is up to the Judge in the end and I think Kaplin already knows the deal and as I said is just trying to squeeze the last shares out of the weak who surrender. They have to move soon or miss the silver tide.
I have owned stock in GPGI since about the beginning of the company and I'm well aware of the history of so no need for the history lesson. The point is that the company officers work for the stock holders and have an obligation to publish information such as when the new shares where to be issued and if there was any problem then contact the company at ####### address. I don't care if they are selling gold plated toilet seats, if they are not doing their job and hiding behind a curtain then they are suspect especially on the penny stocks. The company has missed an opportunity from the Feb 7th last notice to keep the stockholders informed every week if not every few days and promote the product and company and they screwed up and by doing so they made themselves look like a scam. If they want to act like one then they better be prepared to be called one. Now that the shares suddenly appeared, and I at least know the history of GPGI from the beginning I don't think they are a scam but several days ago it was adding up fast that there was something wrong. This whole thing was and still is a major blunder by both companies and the officers and trying to pretend it is not, just allows for them to do it again at stock holders expense in the future.
Below is the representative from the company in his 3rd email of the day so the stockholders can keep our fingers crossed on that. If this is the kind of representation coming from BORK then there is serious problems ahead for the company. I did not respond as it gets to a point where the individual is to far gone to communicate with.

Boy you aro reall somethin. I am not egotistic at all and you had better realize it. So why do you not talk direct to the new President as they have been contrilling the company for some time and you can lay all the blame on them and that might make you feel better. Do not bother to ever e- mail me because your attitude stinks to high heaven.
This is the second email exchange on 3/5/2011 between the company and myself, the one below in the previous message is the first one earlier in the day, you judge for yourself. Shareholders are the boss and have a right to correct timely information from management without any attitude.

You work for the stock holders of the company which includes me and you had the obligation to keep them all informed in a public forum by posting a news release telling of any problems in stock issuing and when such issue would be dispersed. You failed and you missed a perfect time to expound on the qualities of the companies products while reassuring current stock holders and future new ones to buy into the company thus driving up the stock price.You may have succeeded with the product(jury is still out on that one) but you have failed miserably in handling investors which is the bread and butter of the company. Your ego is so big in this that you can not see that you screwed up and that there is now an excellent time to correct that by posting in a news release an apology to the stockholders who are your boss and thus increasing the stature of the company and management. My statement regarding your incompetence in management ability still stands because you won't do the right thing, the smart thing and post such a release, you are going to keep puffed up with ego. The result is this whole issue is going to hang over the company like cancer until it is cleared and the stock holders will only suffer for it as well as the future expansion of the company. I am currently taking on a 12 billion dollar company for their bad behavior and have a special website up offshore telling their story with a long list of articles on the boards, so BORK is small potatoes. You screwed up and missed a wonderful opportunity to have the company come out even better but that big clump of ego prevents it. As stated before I have owned GPGI for many years because I believed in it and liked for the "little guy" in the rough markets to win. You sure screwed that image up. You keep choking on your ego and destroy the company. I will keep posting our emails on the message boards as this is the only way investors will get any information.

The only damage done is because of your companies incompetence in
not making issues clear and updated. I have been in the penny
stocks for many years and have seen it from all sides. I have owned
GPGI for many years and because I believed in the company, I always
liked the small guy making it big idea and the reason I held on to
the stock over the years but when my stock totally disappears for
an extended period of time and the is NO news at all and no website
then there is something wrong with the people running the company.
It was your gross negligence that has caused any misunderstanding
regarding GPGI or BORK. GPGI or BORK should have had all the
current info status on the stocks posted. It does not take but a
single sentence to notify the stock holders as to what is going on.
You hide behind the curtain like a thief then expect to be called
one especially in the penny stocks. Your irate first email was
pathetic and it should have been an apology to me and the rest of
the stock holders for your incompetent behavior in the past
month.Just one simple sentence telling when the stocks would be
released would have done it but NO you had to hide and then strike
out when caught not doing your job. You work for the stock holders
and you should be fired for your actions, at least in this past
month. YOU OWE ME AND THE REST OF THE STOCK HOLDERS A VERY....VERY
HUMBLE APOLOGY FOR YOUR BEHAVIOR. Don't even try to give me any BS
blaming me, I have been at this to long and have seen every trick
in the book played in the past. If you or the new company has ANY
integrity at all you will post a very humble apology in a news
release regarding the companies failure to keep the public informed
as you should have and your web site will show up very quickly.
Only then will any damage done by your incompetence, will begin to
heal the company and will be reflected in the companies stock
price.

I'm glad you find it funny. I have been investing for many years in the pennys and I tell it like it is. Whether you have held the product in your hands is debatable, don't know, and neither does any one else. When some one acts like a scam by not producing the shares until the last minute and only after I have contacted them and challenged them on the issue then there is something wrong. I have held GPGI for many years and believed in the company and even promoted it at times because I thought the management was honest and their gold producing method interesting BUT recent trends and behavior such as the email response I got from some character in GPGI makes me think different. I hope I am wrong but until management cleans up their act and begins to post credible new information then I will call it the way it is. I have been at this to long so don't make yourself look like an arrogant fool with the "chill out" comment. Your out of your league.
Shares mysteriously materialize.Just the other day the price was up to .90 and shares where flying but for some reason no one had shares issued from their old GPGI. I sent an email the GPGI company telling them a letter was going out to the SEC Monday morning unless the shares appear. This morning I got an email rant from some clown supposedly from GPGI but not using their email address calling me a SCAMMER for sending the email. I have already posted the email exchange this morning on this site. MYSTERIOUSLY my stocks suddenly appear but only after they have dropped from .90 to .40 cents at the close today on a Friday. What have you boys in BORK been doing behind the curtain the past two days and past two weeks and more? Below is the email from my broker telling of the release. Isn't remarkable that the shares where just released in the afternoon yesterday when I sent the morning email to GPGI regarding a SEC investigation going out the following Monday. I smell a bunch of wet rats.
Dear Valued Client,
The company issued a mandatory reverse split with a symbol change. The new shares were allocated on 3/3/11. The corporate action entailed receiving 1 share of BORK for every 5 shares of GPGI. On 3/3/11, you were allocated 4,000 shares of BORK. Currently these shares are reflected in your portfolio and you may sell them at anytime.
Sincerely,
I don't have paper shares so they should have already shown up if there was not something bad going on and the response from an unidentified person possibly from GPGI which I just posted leaves me no alternative but to assume there is something crooked going on.As stated such responses from allege company people are text book examples of a scam artist response. I have 20,000 shares that are gone now and have been for a month. No press releases no web site, connect the dots.
Just got an email from some character presumably from GPGI as my email was directed to them. My response back is given below and the email sequence provided. Don't know where this is going but this is the current evidence of the situation.

I'm talking about the missing GPGI and or Bork stock that has
disappeared from my account. Such responses as the one just given
by who ever you are,is the textbook example of a scam response.
Acting indignant and accusing me is an old trick. A legitimate
person would have been concerned and checked the situation out
before saying anything as stupid as you have. Thank you, this will
go into my letter as evidence. My broker is investigating this now
and a letter will go out Monday morning if the stocks do not
materialize so cut the pathetic act.

You have ZERO shares in the RS because none have been issued just like me. I have 20,000 shares of GPGI I have nothing now no GPGI or BORK. Nothing and no way to find out what happened until it is to late. YOU GOT SHARES ANYONE??????
The question that should be asked instead of "manufacturing rights" is does either of these companies exist??? If you do not have your shares by now like I do not then neither company exist for those who use to own shares and at this point have been cheated out of them and some one else is trading "your old shares". So ask that question before debating about the BS the company has put out so far regarding their alleged product. No shares no company.
I have neither my GPGI or Bork, nothing and this is looking more and more like a scam manipulation. As just stated, "Has anyone received their shares of the "new company" in exchange for their GPGI shares?? There is no way to contact either company and no news and someone is trading the shares??? Sec letter goes out Monday morning requesting investigation in to this apparent scam operation. If anyone has information I would like to put it into the letter."
IS THIS A SCAM????? Has anyone received their shares of the "new company" in exchange for their GPGI shares?? There is no way to contact either company and no news and someone is trading the shares??? Sec letter goes out Monday morning requesting investigation in to this apparent scam operation. If anyone has information I would like to put it into the letter. My shares never showed up.

You Be The Judge
Below is a letter I just sent to the top echelon of McGraw-Hill regarding one of their authors. In my past articles I have told the story of the perverted nature of the US college and university campuses created by professors and upper level management that allows for and propagates creatures like Dr Burdge who writes for McGraw-Hill. This is a systemic sickness of greed and arrogance that runs through all the text book publishing companies and the university professors and management. They all think that they are to big to be reached which allows for their cult mystic both on the campuses and in the board rooms of the publishing companies. I told my oldest son Beau 4 years ago, now 20, that evil can be defeated if it is drug out into the light of day and exposed. Dr Burdge and McGraw-Hill and others will be exposed. As Warren Buffet said, we will see who is wearing a bathing suit when the tide goes out. Read my other post on the subject and the information site http://fallofthehouseofmcgrawhill.com/ . You judge for yourself if you want to be invested in companies like this.
McGraw-Hill Companies
Dr Julia Burdge is a writer for you and has a text book out “Chemistry” under your label. Below is an email communication between my youngest son Sam Burdge and me. I want to make this VERY clear to all those in your company, your Dr Burdge is a sick demented perverted individual in which your company had a big part in creating. To lie to her youngest son regarding his passport is truly sick. Sam will be free of the evil creature Dr Burdge in June of this year but she will still be associated with you and I will never let McGraw-Hill forget that. Every mistake you make, every drop in your stock price in the coming economic depression I will be there and I will publish the truth, all in graphic detail until you rid your sick company of Dr Burdge and apologize to Sam and his brother Beau for what you have done.
Regards,
Christopher Burdge

Sam
Just another lie from a sick evil person. The fact is she could not have left Malta with you Sam, without your passport(customs would not allow it) or entered Germany with out it or leave
Germany(German customs would not allow it) nor entered the USA with out you having your passport(USA customs would not allow it).There are no exceptions here in this, this is the law of the land in ALL countries. I want both you and Beau to remember this lie (of many she has said) as an example of her demented perverted behavior. Beau knows you had the passport when you left and you saw she had it in Frankfurt, Germany to get you in and out of that country. She has degenerated down into this state where she tells lies she cannot possible defend and for nothing as she knows you are leaving and has no control over you after 18. The way "she" meaning Dr Burdge deals with her behavior is totally blocking out the past just like she has blocked out her oldest son Beau and to her he
does not exist. His only crime was to stand up to her at 16 during your forced abduction from Malta Sam at 14 years old and completely against your will. Dr Burdge's life time of clinical depression and
15 years on medication along with McGraw-Hill Publishing telling her the big money was coming for writing books for them has created a creature that will in the end destroy herself and sow the seeds of Mcgraw-Hill Publishing's decline. McGraw-Hill Publishing and the people who run it are no better than the demented pervert of a text book writer they hired in Dr Julia Burdge, the creature that was once your mother. Your Dad

I contacted Sterling months ago November/December sometime??? and was told in an email from the manager(no corporate officers under bankruptcy) that the Silver Opportunity Partners LLC owns Sterling from bid purchase and that Silver Opportunity Partners would be bringing the company out of Bankruptcy and settling the debt and shareholder issue(how much???) in the first part of 2011. He new nothing more and said to contact Silver Opportunity Partners LLC for more information. I sent a letter to them but got no response. What is happening here I think is Silver Opportunity Partners LLC is waiting and trying to pick up as many of Sterlings shares cheap by those that bail out in frustration and when they have squeezed all they can then they will petition the court for finalization of and rebirth of the company with them holding most of the shares. I think they know the court will not let them rip off the current shareholders out right and all has to be do above board as it has so far, meaning the bankruptcy court returned the mine back to Sterling and only then proceeded with the auction where Silver Opportunity Partners LLC paid I think 24 million for all of Sterlings assets which include the mine. Silver Opportunity Partners LLC has the time to squeeze/pick up more shares cheap before finalizing it all. Silver prices are just beginning to go up and will be for many-many years and the Sunshine mine can be brought up on production quickly so you see I think this is a game of old fashion Chicken to see who blinks and sell their shares cheap.I own the company and will just wait it out as it can not last much longer before they break the trend and bring the mine and Sterling back up on line. Sterling will shine again is my gut feeling and it is just a mater of when. This is why he shares have bee trading for months now at constant rate as these shares are slowly being accumulated cheap. I rarely post responses only analysis of companies as I have to much business and not enough time right now. Be patient those that are invested will at least get their money back in the coming months if not make a lot in the coming years. I would not advise buying the company but if you own it sit tight and it will force this to and end. quicker.
Compare MHP McGraw-Hill Publishing and ABX Barrick Gold
Compare MHP McGraw-Hill Publishing and ABX Barrick Gold Corp and ask yourself which one do I really want to hold in the coming economic collapse. Of course if you believe the current government dribble about there being a recovery then stop here and return to your position with you head in the sand. No one with one iota of intelligence believes that this charade of an economy in this country will last much longer and inflation followed by hyper inflation and/or US Dollars default will happen. Given this very real scenario that is at our door step, then which company would you want to own? To clarify this I own neither company and have no intention of buying either in the near term. The comparison of the two companies is because both are giants in their own industry, one publishing and information and the other gold/silver mining. Barrick has a stock price of $51 and total value in stock price of $44,712,172,833 a/o Feb 18, 2011. McGraw-Hill has a stock price of $37 and a total value in stock of $12,214,914,281 a/o Feb 18, 2011. Both are giving dividends but I believe Barrick is considerably more per year than McGraw-Hill but dividends here are not the issue. What is really the point is which company is going to continually head up in price and which will dive down in price. They are at opposite ends of the investment cycles, one the biggest gold producer in the world (and we all know where gold is heading) and the other a book publisher and information peddler. Barrick is just at the beginning of the gold bull market that will last for many years and McGraw-Hill is at it's end of the consumerism greed market and is crashing now and only held above water by the Federal Reserve QE1 and QE2 money printing scam. Barrick and a couple thousand other mining companies in the precious metals are benefiting from the printing press scam of the government. McGraw-Hill's services in the information industry, their largest income, will not be needed and probably scorned in the coming years because of their bad behavior in the past and people will only care about where their next meal will come from and not McGraw-Hill information. McGraw-Hill textbook division which is only about 17% of the companies income now will virtually blow away in the wind because there will be few college students in the Greatest Depression heading our way and many colleges and universities will drastically cut back or close their doors. Barrick on the other hand with the other couple thousand mining companies will supply the real money in gold and silver that will re-float the world economies the way it use to be when gold backed the world currencies. As stated before I don't own Barrick not because it is not a good company but because in my view there are other similar but smaller companies in the precious metals that will appreciate in stock price more than Barrick will. So back to the original question which company or company in their stock sector do you want to own in the coming (current) collapse, a gold and silver producer or a book and information peddler? Or you can just go back to watching the TV and stick your head back in the sand because we all know the government will protect us all and that big social security check will always be there. Buy the precious metal stocks and dump the publishers like McGraw-Hill while you still have time. Read my other post on the subject and the information site http://fallofthehouseofmcgrawhill.com/ . There will be a time to buy McGraw-Hill many years from now when it is below a dollar a share but now it is time to dump it and buy the metals.
CARNAC RESOURCE OWNS 8% OF AZTEC METALS CORP.
As stated in in my revised CARNAC ANALYSIS dated 2/5/2011, an email confirmation from Greg Wilson of Carnac on 10/21/2010, states that Carnac owns 8% of Aztec Metals Corporation. Below is the profile of Aztec that he attached in his email to me.
CORPORATE PROFILE
Aztec Metals Corp. is an early-stage mineral exploration company focused on acquiring and exploring district-scale poly-metallic properties with precious metal credits in Mexico. Our goal is to create shareholder value by developing mineral projects that have the potential to become large new mineral discoveries and ultimately, profitable mines.
Aztec currently holds three district-scale exploration properties in northern Mexico totalling approximately 93,000 hectares. Two properties have now been optioned to Parallel Resources for drilling in 2010. The Company intends to advance its Viesca property as soon as possible so that it can seek a public listing in 2010.
Exploration Targets – Aztec’s business model entails “elephant-hunting” for poly-metallic mineral discoveries with precious metal credits through the acquisition and exploration of “district-scale” properties in Mexico. Two recent examples of such discoveries within 80 km of Aztec’s properties include the massive new Penasquito mine of Goldcorp (26.8 million oz gold and 1.79 billion oz silver combined reserves/resources) and the exciting new Camino Rojo discovery of Canplats Resources (4.0 million oz gold and 68 million oz silver) who were recently taken over by Goldcorp in a $238 million friendly transaction.
Initial Properties - The Company owns three early-stage, poly-metallic mineral properties in Mexico: Matehuala and Charcas West in San Luis Potosi state, and Viesca in Coahuila state.
The Matehuala property (25,000 hectares) is Aztec’s most advanced exploration project. It is attractively located only 50 km east of the recent Camino Rojo gold-silver-lead-zinc discovery of Canplats Resources in Zacatecas within the same favourable geological belt. These properties cover several small historic mines located at the junction of two major structural trends that have potential to host large, silver-gold-zinc-lead, breccia pipe orebodies (Penasquito or Camino Rojo-type) and carbonate replacement deposits (Naica or Santa Eulalia-type). Following geological mapping, rock chip sampling and geophysical IP and MAG surveys, a 1500 m drill program was initiated in May of this year.
The Charcas West property (65,900 hectares) adjoins Camino Rojo about 50 km to the south and also covers similar favourable geology. Initial prospecting surveys have been completed and multiple virgin prospect areas were discovered, including two areas of quartz float assaying up to 0.4 gpt gold, one area containing widespread argillic alteration, iron enrichment and anomalous pathfinder elements, and one area with massive sulfide potential as evidenced by outcropping, geochemically anomalous barite-chert beds.
The Viesca property (2,325 hectares) may be the most intriguing of all. It covers more than 50 small historic mine pits, shafts and workings along an 8.5 km long trend that includes three styles of mineralization: CRD-type zinc-lead-silver manto replacements in limestone; Vein-type copper in quartz-carbonate-hematite veins; and copper-silver-lead strata-bound replacements of a 10-20 m thick tuff or sandstone unit that can be traced for several kms. Sampling of the main 300 m long mine workings and dumps returned average grades of
CANARC RESOURCE CORP. ANALYSIS-Revised on 2/5/2011
Canarc Resource Corp. is a growth-oriented, gold exploration company listed on the TSX (CCM) and the OTC-BB (CRCUF). Canarc is currently focused on exploring its recently acquired Tay LP gold property in south-central Yukon and seeking a partner to advance its 1.1 million oz, high grade, underground, New Polaris gold mine project in north-western British Columbia to the feasibility stage. In the third quarter of 2010, Cap-Ex Ventures Ltd. (TSX-V: CEV), ("Cap-Ex") who have an option on Canarc's Tay-LP property in the Yukon completed a 470 kilometer, helicopter-borne, VTEM geophysical survey over the Tay-LP gold property. Upon receipt of the geophysical data and interpretive maps from the geophysical contractor, Cap-Ex will prioritize the most favourable targets for follow-up in 2011 with more detailed ground geophysics, geological mapping and diamond drilling.
Canarc's management continues to seek strategic alternatives such as a joint venture or other means to advance the New Polaris high grade gold project to mine development and a full feasibility study. The New Polaris project is situated in northwestern British Columbia, 100 km south of Atlin, B.C., and 60 km east of Juneau, Alaska consists of 100% interest in 61 crown granted mineral claims and 1 modified grid claim totaling 2,956 acres. Historically, the Polaris Mine operated at a rate of 200 tons per day. Ore was crushed through primary and secondary crushers, and ground in a ball mill. A standard flotation circuit was used to concentrate the ore prior to being shipped off site. Historical gold recoveries averaged 90% and concentrate grades ranged from 3.5 - 5.0 oz per ton gold. New Polaris lay dormant for 30 years until exploration resumed in 1988. Canarc acquired New Polaris in 1992 and since has drilled 241 holes totaling 64,000 m of core, outlining significant new ore below and beyond the old mine workings. Canarc constructed a new office complex at the New Polaris mine site and the camp is now capable of supporting 35 people. Several existing buildings have been refurbished and serve as both sleeping quarters and the kitchen facility. The machine shop has also been maintained as a maintenance facility. In recent weeks, Canarc has initiated discussions with a number of interested parties regarding a possible strategic or financial partnership to advance the New Polaris gold mine project through a mine development and feasibility program to a production decision.
On Feb. 2, 2011 Canarc announced that it has commissioned an updated NI 43-101 preliminary economic assessment report ("PEA") for the New Polaris gold mine project in northwestern British Columbia.The updated study will be done by Moose Mountain Technical Services (Moose Mountain") who completed the previous PEA studies for Canarc to build an 80,000 oz per year gold mine at New Polaris. The revised PEA will review capital and operating cost estimates and examine the effects of higher gold prices and lower cutoff grades on gold production, mine-life and project economics compared to the previous PEA report dated December 23, 2009.The previous study, based on a gold price of $US900 per oz, $CA/$US exchange rate of 0.95 and cash costs of US$383 per oz, resulted in a discounted (5%) after-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") of CA$68.6 million with an after-tax Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 25.8% and a 2.7 year pay-back period. The year-old study also included an after-tax cash-flow sensitivity analysis that, based on a US$1100 gold price and all other factors held constant, resulted in a discounted (5%) after-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") of CA$130 million.The lead Qualified Person ("QP") for Moose Mountain pursuant to NI 43-101 for both the previous and proposed preliminary economic assessment reports is Jim Gray, P. Eng.
A recent event that turns the tide in the direction of Canarc becoming a producer in the short term and it's commitment to expand its resource base is the purchase of the Relief Canyon Gold Mine assets in Nevada. Canarc announced on December 21nd 2010 that it was the successful bidder to acquire a largely built and permitted, open pit, heap leach gold mine through a bankruptcy court auction held in Reno, Nevada. Canarc has agreed to purchase the Relief Canyon gold mine assets from Firstgold Corporation for US$11 million, subject to a due diligence period expiring February 4, 2011. As of February 4th Carnac decided to pass on the acquisition of the mine for the time being out of do diligence caution and instead retained the lab physicality which were part of the original deal.
What this shows is Canarc's effort to be a producer on the short term and with both the Tay LP gold property in south-central Yukon and the 1.1 million oz, high grade, underground, New Polaris gold mine project in north-western British Columbia as future developments. Canarc's management is expanding their options now as either a producer that will stay independent or as a take over by a larger company. With Barrick Gold Corp. as a shareholder in Canarc and the coming year funding in place for 2011 and an expanding asset base in projects, Canarc stands as a good buy out target for a major company like Barrick. The buying out of junior companies like Canarc by the big producers that are hungry for resource base replacement will increase into a frenzy in the next two years until it ends in a bidding war for the junior exploration companies. With this in mind you can be sure that Canarc will be a prime target and that it's share price will reflect this. Canarc needs to hold out as long as possible to bid up it's share price before a buy out offer is made which will give the best share swap ratio with the new big company stock that current share holders will get. It is possible that Carnac will keep forming joint ventures with smaller companies but I expect that the frenzy for resource asset base will mushroom and Canarc will be capture by a large company like Barrick which will be a major plus for the current stock holders of Canarc.
An email confirmation from Gregg Wilson of Carnac on 10/21/2010, states that Carnac owns 8% of Aztec Metals Corporation(see post regarding Aztec profile). Although not confirmed I believe that Canarc holds approximately 1.6 million shares, or about 7% of Caza Gold Corp.
“The McGraw-Hill School Education Group's revenue declined by 7.7% in the fourth quarter in 2010, and their Higher Education, Professional and International Group's revenue declined 3.3% in 2010 compared to 2009.” This decline will look infinitesimal when compared to the same figures two years from now. I stated it best in a previous article, “Dump The Publishers Like McGraw-Hill” which is copied below. Read http://fallofthehouseofmcgrawhill.com/ and my other post on the message boards about them and get out while you can.
Dump The Publishers Like McGraw-Hill
The number two prediction of the National Inflation Association top 10 predictions for 2011 is the the beginning of the bankruptcy of the American colleges. The article posted below explains what I have been saying for some time. The college and university system is as corrupt and wasteful as the Federal Government is. The publishing companies that supply the flashy text books at exorbitant prices which students are forced to buy, by demand of corrupt professors who may be the author or aspiring to be one are as guilty as the university system itself. The party is ending and publishing companies like McGraw-Hill who supply such text books are going to take the fall in the next few years. With the the rapid decline of the university population because of the imploding economy and soon to be shut down of the also corrupt student loan scam, there will be no need for more flashy text books. The older ones in the 4th or above additions will be used until the pages fall out and professors will have to actual get off their ass and learn to teach instead of being parasites. Read my free website http://fallofthehouseofmcgrawhill.com/ and sell McGraw-Hill now if you own it and buy it back south of $1.00 per share in 3-5 years from now. Read my other post about the company and corrupt system which is not just limited to Mcgraw-Hill.
2) Colleges will begin to go bankrupt and close their doors.
We have a college education bubble in America that was made possible by the U.S. government's willingness to give out cheap and easy student loans. With all of the technological advances that have been taking place worldwide, the cost for a college education in America should be getting cheaper. Instead, private four-year colleges have averaged 5.6% tuition inflation over the past six years.
College tuitions are the one thing in America that never declined in price during the panic of 2008. Despite collapsing stock market and Real Estate prices, college tuition costs surged to new highs as Americans instinctively sought to become better educated in order to better ride out and survive the economic crisis. Unfortunately, American students who overpaid for college educations are graduating and finding out that their degrees are worthless and no jobs are available for them. They would have been better off going straight into the work force and investing their money into gold and silver. That way, they would have real wealth today instead of debt and would already have valuable work place experience, which is much more important than any piece of paper.
Colleges and universities took on ambitious construction projects and built new libraries, gyms, and sporting venues, that added no value to the education of students. These projects were intended for the sole purpose of impressing students and their families. The administrators of these colleges knew that no matter how high tuitions rose, students would be able to simply borrow more from the government in order to pay them.
Americans today can purchase just about any type of good on Amazon.com, cheaper than they can find it in retail stores. This is because Amazon.com is a lot more efficient and doesn't have the overhead costs of brick and mortar retailers. NIA expects to see a new trend of Americans seeking to become educated cheaply over the Internet. There will be a huge drop off in demand for traditional college degrees. NIA expects to see many colleges default on their debts in 2011. These colleges will be forced to either downsize and educate students more cost effectively or close their doors for good.
Caledonia Mining Corporation: January 2011 Shareholder Update
2011-01-24 02:00 ET - News Release
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/24/11
Caledonia Mining Corporation ("Caledonia") (TSX: CAL)(OTCBB: CALVF)(AIM: CMCL) is pleased to provide the following update on the gold production increase and the installation of standby generators at the Blanket Mine in Zimbabwe.
Following the successful commissioning of the No. 4 Shaft Expansion Project at the end of September 2010, Blanket Mine commenced the production ramp-up to the targeted annualized rate of 40,000 ounces of gold by the end of 2010. During the final 2 weeks of December, 2010, production reached an annualized rate of 39,670 ounces, determined after taking into consideration a Public Holiday on Christmas Day and downtime due to power interruptions during this period.
Monthly gold production from September 2010 to December 2010 was as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Month September October November December
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gold Production (ounces) 1,740 1,841 1,521 2,865(i)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) Includes Work in Progress
The production rate achieved by the end of 2010 is over 99 per cent of the target of 40,000 ounces per year and represents a very substantial increase in Blanket's production capacity. More importantly the level of production achieved at the end of December 2010 conclusively proved that key aspects of the No. 4 Shaft Expansion Project, namely the underground crushing station, the automated skip loading system and the increased milling capacity all operate well within their design capacity.
Blanket is now in a position to address the historic under-investment in mine development, equipment and machinery. Underground development work has commenced in order to ensure that production levels in years to come can be maintained, as well as providing platforms for underground exploration with a view to potentially increasing production above the currently planned rate of 40,000 ounces per annum. This development work, in conjunction with re-investment in equipment and machinery, is expected to have a temporary effect on production in Quarter 1 of 2011, but it is still anticipated that Blanket will produce 40,000 ounces in 2011.
Blanket has experienced considerable unexpected delays with the delivery of the 33kV electrical switchgear which is required for the installation and commissioning of the four generating sets. It is anticipated that the entire 10 Megawatt generating system will be operational by the end of March 2011 at which point Blanket will be able to maintain all mining, hauling and milling operations during interruptions to the electricity supply. Subsequent to Blanket entering into a new supply agreement with the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority, electricity supply has been more stable. Whilst Caledonia welcomes the improvement in electricity supply it still believes it is prudent to proceed with its plans to equip Blanket with full standby generating capacity to safeguard production against any future power interruptions.
Drill Results from Miranda Gold’s Red Hill Project
2011-01-13 09:00 ET - News Release
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- (Business Wire)
Miranda Gold Corp. (“Miranda”) (TSX-V: MAD) announces drill results from its Red Hill project in Eureka County, Nevada. NuLegacy Gold Corp. (“NuLegacy”) (TSX-V: NUG), Miranda’s funding partner at Red Hill completed four drill holes for a total of 4,920 ft (1,515 m).
Three holes in the program tested a large 7,380 ft (2,250 m) by 3,300 ft to 9,900 ft (1,000 to 3,000 m) CSAMT/IP/Resistivity geophysical anomaly that was interpreted to represent carbonaceous material and pyrite. Drill holes RHM10-001 and 002 show highly anomalous gold values in silty limestone with carbon alteration, disseminated pyrite and elevated trace elements, confirming the interpretation. This geologic setting is characteristic of many Carlin-type gold systems. A fourth hole, which intersected 69 ft (21 m) of anomalous gold very near the surface, tested a gold in soil anomaly 4,500 ft (1,370 m) west of the geophysical anomaly.
Miranda Gold Options Five Properties in Colombia
2011-01-20 12:53 ET - News Release
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- (Business Wire)
Miranda Gold Corp. (“Miranda”) (TSX-V: MAD) announces the acquisition of five new properties through its Colombian subsidiary, Miranda Gold Colombia II Ltd. (“Miranda Gold Colombia”). The Cajamarca, Ibague, Fresno, Santander and Anori projects are optioned from ExpoGold Colombia S.A. (“ExpoGold”) and are subject to the Association Agreement between Miranda and ExpoGold.
Miranda has the right to acquire 100% of each of the five concessions by issuing 10,000 shares of Miranda common stock and making initial payments of US$10,000 to ExpoGold per property. In total Miranda will grant, subject to the rules and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, 50,000 common shares of Miranda and make payments of $50,000 to ExpoGold. To maintain the options, payments and issuance of shares increase incrementally each subsequent anniversary year of each individual option agreement.
Miranda Gold Colombia will seek exploration funding partners for all five properties. Cajamarca, Ibague and Fresno will be offered as a single project due to their proximity to one another, while Santander and Anori will be optioned as two separate projects. The selection of these five properties concludes Miranda’s First Right of Refusal to option projects from the ExpoGold portfolio, as contained in the Association Agreement. See their website for full detals.
THE REAL GREAT BASIN STORY
The below news release says it all and what I have stated in my Great Basin Analysis, this company is a real winner and will be for decades to come. Doing the math the Hollister Mine has 880,000 Aueq oz and the Burnstone Mine has 6,350,000 Aueq oz that is a total of 7,230,000 onces of gold over the next two decades and their going into production now. At the current low price of gold at $1400 per oz that comes to $10,122,000,000, that is over 10 billion dollars for a company current stock price of under $3 per share and this is a real company not some Wall Street joke like GM. Do the math with the increasing price of gold and you have a junior mining company that is grossly under valued right now. The below figures do not include future discoveries on locations or new projects in the works. At this current price it is a retirement asset dream come true. Buy it now and just wait a few years and retire on just this one company. Below is the URL for the entire article.

MINERA ANDES ANALYSIS
I originally had my doubts about this company when I bought years ago but it has been skilfully managed and saved by a major stock holder buy out preventing it from being taken over by it's partner in the mine. This was one of those Cinderella stories where one of the company officers stepped forward and put millions of his own money down at the last moment and buys up controlling interest to keep it's crooked partner from scalping the company. With the direct ownership of the majority of stock by this person the mine will be safe from attacks and with no debt and steady income from the joint venture and a massive amount of 100% owned claim holdings in other rich resources and the money now at hand to develop those then this company has no wheres to go but up in price. I bought this one when it was only .19 cents and before it is over it will make me a 100 times what I invested in it. It is one of those true junior companies that is a Cinderella story ending. Read the below recent release and its previous ones from the past year to fully understand this great little company. Just the the first part is given below, go to the URL for the rest of the story and the company's web site.

THE ALLUSION
Compare the 10, 5 and 1 year stock chart of McGraw-Hill and you get a completely different view of the company. Like the old story of the 3 blind men describing what an elephant is, one from the trunk, one from the massive body and the other from the tail. The one year charts makes McGraw-Hill look like a roaring undefeatable dynamo with no limits to the up side. The 5 year charts shows the companies real weakness with it's collapse from the high of $72 to about $16. The 10 year chart tells the whole story of where the company came from and where it is really going. The one year chart run up in price is due to pure QE-1 printing of money by the Federal Reserve and dumping it into the markets through the myriad of conduits at its disposal including the infamous Plunge Protection Team. Yes the Plunge Protection Team does exist, Alan Greenspan admitted it under intense questioning by Congress members before he left office, he should know he created it when the crash of 1987 happened. It worked, illegal but that does not seem to mater any more in today's government.
With QE-2 in full swing and the Chinese saying that they will not tolerate the devaluation of all the US cash and US Treasury Notes by continued QE actions by the Federal Reserve, then the game will end in 2011 and so will the QE run up of McGraw-Hill and other companies like it. With the colleges and universities shrinking quickly or shutting their doors in some cases in the coming Greatest Depression, there will be little need for any high priced flashy text books or their greedy authors. The other companies of the McGraw-Hill Family like Standard & Poors or JD Power will not be needed as no one will want information about investing in stocks or bonds, for a quick look out the widow at the soup kitchen lines will be a much better indicator. Read http://fallofthehouseofmcgrawhill.com/ and my other post on the message boards about them and get out while you can. The run up in the past year is all an allusion created by the QE Federal Reserve money and mainstream media hype. The “technicals looking good” as some say are nothing more than the allusion of Federal Reserve printing. You want to see what it will look like then observe the plummet from $72 to $16 on MHP charts. This will seem mild compared to the next plunge when the US bond market implodes which can happen in a mere 24 hour period. McGraw-Hill will survive but at a skeleton of it's former self and it will be better for in in the long run. Get out now and buy MHP back when it is well south of $1.00.
As I said in my ANALYSIS, Caledonia Mining is a remarkable tough company with excellent management to weather the African corruption storm and the gold suppression scam by the world central banks that went on for many years. The company now will take off on the rest of it's mineral assets in Africa and develop them with the same tenacity as the Blanket Mine. Read the below current news release. Buy while you can at this cheap price because it will be only a foot note in history on the great run up in price of the junior mining companies like Caledonia. This will be a long term hold for probably at least 3 years to squeeze the best profit out and maybe as long as 5 years. Buy it and retire with the money you make on it.
24th January 2011
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – TSX- and Aim-listed Caledonia Mining has substantially increased the production at its Blanket mine in Zimbabwe, with the gold operation achieving 99% of the targeted 40 000-oz/y production capacity by the end of 2010.
Production reached an annualised rate of 39 670 oz of gold in the last two weeks of December, which Caledonia said was determined after taking into consideration a public holiday on Christmas Day and downtime resulting from power interruptions during this period.
The mine started the ramp-up to the targeted 40 000 oz/y after the successful commissioning of the No 4 Shaft expansion project at the end of September.
Caledonia said that the level of production achieved at the end of December showed that the key aspects of the expansion project, including the underground crushing station, the automated skip loading system and the increased milling capacity, were operating within their design capacity.
Reporting on the installation of stand-by generators at Blanket, the Toronto-based miner said that it had experienced unexpected delays with the delivery of the 33-kV electrical switchgear, which was required for the installation and commissioning of the four generating sets.
However, it was anticipated that the entire 10-MW generating system would be operational by the end of March 2011, at which point Blanket would be able to maintain all mining, hauling and milling operations during interruptions to the electricity supply.
The company reported that electricity supply had been more stable after Blanket had entered into a new supply agreement with the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority.
“While Caledonia welcomes the improvement in electricity supply, it still believes it is prudent to proceed with the plans to equip Blanket with full stand-by generating capacity to safeguard production against any future power interruptions,” the company stated.
Caledonia added that it would continue to tackle the historic underinvestment in mine development, equipment and machinery at the mine.
However, underground development work, together with reinvestment in equipment and machinery, was expected to have a temporary impact on production in the first quarter of 2011, but the mine was still expected to produce 40 000 oz of gold in 2011.
