Troops,
To make it up to you, how about a little DD...
Vantrang Manges is the name listed as the CEO of Athena Brands on the Bloomberg page:
http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=253877378
https://www.linkedin.com/pub/vantrang-manges/4/ba5/254
Coincindentally, she is also the founder of Green Mustache, a brand of fruit smoothie beverage which sounds very much like the one Scott Vanis mentions in the PR
Minerco PR 8/28
Athena will also be acquiring a few brand-compatible, high performing products including an existing children's beverage which boasts a low calorie count and reduced sugar content.
Green Mustache Summary
While Green Mustache was originally inspired by and created for children, older kids and adults have gravitated to the company’s products as a better-for-you version of their previous beverage choices, or simply because our drinks offer a tasty and convenient way to incorporate greens into their day.
Take a look at Vantrang Mange's past two jobs..
Vice President
New York Private Bank & Trust
2009 – 2012 (3 years)
Vice President
GSO Capital Partners (Blackstone)
2005 – November 2008 (3 years)
*Speculation, but looks like she has some connections to money. Also, looks like she knows about the business side too..
Education
Columbia University - Columbia Business School
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
The University of Texas at Austin
Bachellor of Business Adminstration
If you google Green Mustache, there is quite a bit out there. Honeslty, the more I look into this, the more intrigued I am. The Green Mustache is exactly the kind of product we need. The organic and super healthy is the trend of the present and future. This is the kind of direction needed to build a company similar to White Wave. I have to admit that Green Mustache is quite a catchy little name too.
Scott gave us a clue today, and it looks like the company is really statring to come together. I am excited to see where the money is coming from, and what role Vantrang Manges will be playing within the company.
Will continue to DD..
I was wondering where Ezra was.. His name has been right under Scott's name in the PR's, except for today, Messina's name was there instead.
Isn't Darin Ezra the owner, or CEO of Level 5? I have always speculated that Power Brands would merge with Minerco, but today's PR leaves us waiting for more details. I am really curious how this is going to play out.
* On another note, I heard that many were upset by what I posted earlier, and felt like I was 'beating' on MINE. I apologize, and want everyone to know that I am a MINER, and have been for a long time now. I haven't sold a share, and don't plan to.
I am riding this thing out, but I also can't lie about not having concerns. If the ihub board is to be legit and worthwhile, there has to be more acceptance toward challenging the issues. Someone has to be realistic and logical, and I have learned to accept that things like 1500% gains just aren't all that realistic.
I am not saying that it can't happen, if the company is succesful and over long time period. My fingers are crossed, but we also need to be willing to look at the other side of the coin too..
May the force be with us all!
I didn't say it won't go over .01, and I never said what price the stock will go to.. I said that 1500% isn't realistic, that is a huge move..
I also said that for it to go over a penny is a big move too, near 300%..
The whole point to my posts was that we need a more realisitc outlook..
I hope you guys can understand that..
May the force be with you.
I am not sour on it, but things have certainly changed.. After reading the last Q in depth, it turned on a more realisitc light. The company needs money, they are broke.
Also, the competition in the space has gotten really stiff as there are probably 10 identical brands depending on your region. That is going to hurt sales.
I think that if MINE was the company that it is now, but during the 'Pot Rush' we would have seen this thing go .20 plus..
But times are way different now. The company has a track record, it is reporting numbers, and we have a much more clear view of what needs to be done.
Bottom line is, if Vanis doesn't pull a rabbit out of a hat we are going to be put into a very tight spot. I urge you all to read the last Q a few times until you get it..
I don't know what the pps will do, but 1500% just is not realistic. I think over time it could grow, but we will have certainly gone through a reverse split in two years time.. You will still have the same amount of dollars invested, just not the same insane amount of shares.
I don't mean to be 'sour', just trying to be realistic and logical.. I see too many fairytales on this board. MINE is a penny stock, not DISNEY..
I think you've missed my point.. There was an unprecedented amount of new money and Twitter Hype that pushed these stocks to where they went..
I have been in MINE for two years now, and we most likely will never see the kind of OTC interest that we saw during the 'Pot Rush 2013'.. That rush pushed MINE to .045, HEMP to .30's, ERBB to .11, and so on..
MINE might be growing, but they also aren't making any money yet either, in fact they are losing money.
I hope the long term potential is good, but you can bet there will be a reverse split before MINE makes a 1500% run..
Many of you guys have an unrealistic vision when it comes to this penny stock.. Seems like too many have the mindset of the 2013 rush, those days are LONG GONE.
I am hoping for the best, but I am based in reality and understand:
1. A reverse split is the only way to fix 3.5 bilion OS.
2. 1500% run is just not likely.. 300% just barely gets us above .01..
3. I know a dose of truth and reality is hard to swallow, but this is the reality.
Sadly Scout it is just unrealistic for MINE to hit .045 again.. That is about a 1500% move..
Circumstances were much different during the 'Pot Rush' of 2013 and the OTC market saw an influx of 'New' money that it probably has never seen before..
It was common for OTC's to run hard because there was so much new money and excitement here.. Sadly, those days are long gone and people who have been around learned a valuable lesson..
I am a MINER, but a 1500% run is not in the cards..
Not sure what to make of the PR..
One thing I noticed is that Darin Ezra's name has been included in every PR next to Scott's for the last year except for today's, and I don't recall seeing Messina's on any recent PRs..
Ezra also hasn't said anything in the past few months.. I wonder if he is out..
I know a dose of truth and reality hurts, but every time I check this board someone is talking about a buy back, which Scott Vanis stated on the Conference Call back in 2014, and I think people are grasping to that straw when it just isn't tangible anymore..
As for shares being returned to the treasury, I don't see this as being of any benefit to current sahreholders. How many can they feasibly return?
As I have said many many times.. At this point in the game Minerco needs roughly 5 million dollars to go forward, which is double any other loan they have received to date. It costs over 2 million per Q just to operate, and last Q we lost money, and Scott was using MINE shares to cover costs..
I am looking forward to some new numbers coming out, but I think as a whole the Miner's need a dose of reality..
Hope you can understand..

Pretty Please, you guys have to put this 'buying back shares' non sense to rest..
Did anyone here bother to read the last Q? If you did, you will see we don't have any money.. Vanis had to use shares to pay for the business. The majortiy of the business transactions were paid in MINE shares.
If we are making money, that money is going to be put back into growing the business, as it should, not to buy back shares soothing penny stock investors..
Please guys, Vanis put his foot in his mouth saying 'buyback' but it will be years before they have the kind of revenue to justify that..
I am invested here, but how about we take on a mature outlook..
May the force be with you..
I have two years worth of DD on MINE.. Read through some of it..
I agree MINE is ahead of schedule, but I used the Big Red comparison to show that we need less than 100 million OS to have a realistic Market Cap..
As I have said many times, a good comparison is Lance Collins and his beverage 'Fuze' which took 6 years of saturating SoCal before Coca Cola finally took notice and bought it out..
Brace yourselves, a split is coming whether you want to be in denial or not about it..
We also need 5 million dollars to further operations or else Minerco will have to scale back.. It is all in the Qs.. Read them carefully..
Bottom line, we need money and not for a buyback but to run the company..
I am sure a big reason Vanis has learned to keep his mouth shut is because he said things way to early and over time realized that they weren't feasible..
He said at this time no split, but when it is time to uplist 'we will have to address the share structure.'
I would say the split will be anywhere from 10 - 100 to 1...
Also, the split will makes the pps go up, and you will still have the same amount of money invested..
Troops,
I have been invested here for two years now, and I plan to continue watching this develope, but I can't pretend there aren't issues and concerns.. Here are my arguments for the naysayers of my earlier post.
1. Don't I think there is going to be revenues? Yes, eventually I hope there are revenues, but Minerco needs 5 million to keep going, and if you looked at the last Q you will see we are no where near that number, especially when it costs over 2 million a Q to fund operations.
We don't have the money to produce that many bottles and run that many advertisements to generate 5 million dollars.
Also my concern with 6 other near identical brands on the shelves has to effect the amount of Fizz sold..
2. I agree with another poster, returning shares to the treasury dosesn't do all that much as they are still there for dillution, and you honestly think they are going to return that many? It isn't easy to dent 3.5 billion.
3. Scott Vanis said that once the uplist is a go we will have to address the share structure. What do you think he means, a R/S.
4. 'If there are only 100 million OS institutional money won't touch us.. Who ever said that is wrong. For Example, GWPH has 21 million shares outstanding and has 58.5% held by institutions.
Also, if Minerco had 100 million OS and the pps is $1 they are a 100 million dollar company, you're kidding yourself right? Big Red is a 150 million dollar comapny and it will take Minerco years to get to that point.. Have we even produced a million bottles let alone 100 million to produce those kinds of revenues?
Like I keep saying, I am invested here, but we need to do some math and gain a bit more of a mature out look..
Time will tell, but Vanis needs to do a lot of work just to keep the buisness running let alone produce even 5 million in revenue.
May the force be with us all...
Troops,
I don't want to be mean or rude, but logical and realistic. I check this board still and I see so many delusional comments.
I am invested here, though I do have many growing concerns:
1. Debt
2. Money to fund this operation (It costs a lot of money to produce these drinks)
3. The competition is crazy in this space. 6 varities to choose from in Chicago. The beverage isle is out of control.
What bugs me ths most about this forum is how delusional people are about the reverse split. If this company is uplisting (Who knows if they will) there will be a reverse split. No doubt about it, its the only way to get this share structure under control.
For Minerco to be valuable and of interest to real investors with real money the O/S will have to be under 100 million. There is no possible way to buy back 3.5 billion shares. There is no way to even dent that number with a buy back.
This is a penny stock guys and it is time to be realistic and honest with yourselves..
I am invested here and have the patience to watch for another year, but please understand there is only one way to fix the share structure..
May the force be with you.
Miners,
It has been a while and it seems we have fallen on hard times yet again. Lets take an honest and realistic look at what has been going on here.
- Scott Vanis has really locked down the hatch in terms of letting info out the past few months. In reality this is most likely a good thing because PR's have never done anything for the pps except give it a temporary increase. Also, I am sure Scott is sick and tired of all the hate mail he's getting and holding everyone's hand along the way. Can you blame him for going quiet?
- I am really surprised that there wasn't more planned for this summer in terms of advertising, events, and general promotion of FIZZ in California.
- The coming Quarterly Report. I am not expecting numbers to be all that great, and I am hoping that there is at least a little improvement from the last. What I am mostly worried about is the the amount of debt they showed last Q, and the negative cash flow. It costs a lot of money to make the product and keep the company going, and we are currently running at a deficit. This is a big concern. I believe we need somwhere around $5,000,000 to keep going.
- What has happened to New York City and Las Vegas? They have seemed to fall off the map.
- Comppetition in the space. There is no denying the competition in the sparkling water category is getting intense. In Chicago we have at least 5 varieties to choose between:
- Sparkling ICE
- FruitWater
- Fruit o2
- Nice
- VitaIce (Which was previously ICE, which was around before Sparkling Ice, but they have rebranded into VitaIce)
- Buy back. I wish this would just be put to rest already. There is simply no money to buy shares back, and there won't be this kind of money for a long time. Also, returning shares. Please be realistic here, I don't expect this to hardly dent the OS. If your thinking is based in reality, you will understand there is only one way to fix the share structure.
- On a positive note, I always use Lance Collins and his beverage 'Fuze' which was bought by Coca Cola, and is on tap at Subway. I suggest you look him up, but in short he spent 6 years saturating SoCal with Fuze before Coke bought. From the sounds of it, VitaminFIZZ has done the same work in one year, so we are ahead of schedule. Minerco is also working with Lance Collins as we are distributing his latest beverage 'Outlaw Energy' through Avanzar.
- We still have the connection to Gary Smith, CEO of Big Red who is distributed Nationally through Dr Pepper Snapple. He has an ownership stake in FIZZ, and surely has its best interests in mind. On a side note, he has increased revenues 100% since becoming the CEO of Big Red which is now a 200 million dollar company.
Minerco has accomplished a lot in its rookie year, and Vanis has done many unexpected things all to help grow the company. He has also missed the boat on a quite a few things too, and maybe mentioned things too early, but this is only the beginning and I am sure he is learning along the way.
If we can get the debt squared away, and the funding to keep moving forward with the business model, then there is a good chance that VitaminFIZZ will be a succesful product, but this is not going to happen over night, it is going to take time. Remeber, it took Lance Collins 6 years to get Coke to notice him. We are ahead of schedule.
The pps is brutal, but it has been stable the past month aside from the breakdown this week into the mid 002s. We need 4-5 solid Qs which show revenues.
I am invested here and have the patience to see this stock through. Charlie Munger says you buy, and hold through the ups and downs. The over all trend is usually up when you have a longer time frame.
I have lost a little faith in Vanis and the team, or maybe my outlook is maturing and the honeymoon phase is over. I keep in mind why I put my money here in the first place, the product is good, and they are moving along unlike any other OTC despite the obstaces we are facing.
There are big names and big companies connected here, and I am perfectly fine watching this grow for another year or two..
May the force be with you.....
The price per share is brutal, and I think Scott Vanis finally realized that releasing PRs about small achievements no longer serves the company. Informing shareholders has done nothing but blow up in his face, and if he says one thing and it is slightly different from what happens, the penny stock shareholders are all over him, because most are investing beginners.
Minerco is a long way off, they are executing, but it will take many quarters of execution and revenues to gain any real investor interest. The new money has dried up long ago now, and we most likely will never see the MJ bubble inflate like many of us saw in Jan-March 2014, and even though Minerco was never and hopefully never is a 'pot stock' it got caught up in that hype.
That Men's Journal article with The Wolf and Tim Sykes ripping him apart was pretty interesting. Maybe there is something to what Syke's was saying: (In reference to penny stocks)
'The financials don't mean anything, they can and are manipulated.'
'They are all pump and dumps, and they all deserve to go to zero.'
If you read the financials last Q hopefully you understand the position the company is in, they need money, and a lot of it. I am not sure where it is going to come from, but if they don't pull a miracle out of their hat this year I worry they can't go on.
I honestly thought that there would be a lot more in the works for this summer, in terms of advertising, expansion, and so on. Maybe there is and Vanis isn't saying much, but seems like there are boots on the ground in California and they haven't reported seeing anything yet.
Is Vanis trust worthy? At this point I DO NOT believe in him as I once did, but I am willing to let him prove himself and his abilities. I have been in MINE for two years now, my investment is down 70% so I have ZERO reason to sell.
I wouldn't be surprised if he used a 'rat hole' during the March 2014 run and bought shares at .016 (or what ever) as an illusion. If you have seen The Wolf of Wall Street movie you will know what a 'rat hole' is. I can't escape that thought.
The bottles for the Game Changing account we saw leave production a month ago now, so part of me questions the validity of what Vanis says. Vitamin Creamer and the other brands, we simply do not have the money to produce those. I will say again, if you read the Q you will know Minerco needs money, roughly 5 million dollars to further operations.
Does VitaminFizz taste good, yes, it is awesome. Is the market saturated, yes, beyond belief. In Chicago there are at least 5-6 different sparkling waters to chose between, and the Box Stores are beginning to create their own in house brands too. For example Walgreens has the 'Nice' brand sparkling water.
I am only writing this article to be realistic and honest. This is going to take a while, a long while.. Bottom line, the company needs money, fingers crossed that we are selling in California, and that Scott Vanis goes beyond what a typical penny stock CEO can do.
I will go down with the ship. I never put my life savings into this stock, and my money was gone a long time ago. Just going to wait and see.
May the force be with us all.
This is a great post, reminds me of the ones I was writing not too long ago.. It is easy to be negative when the pps has been down for as long as it has, but you helped bring it back to perspective..
The time line you mention with Bai is very similar to Fuze, which was launched by Lance Colins, picked up by Pepsi, on tap at Subway, and his new beverage is Outlaw Energy, which Avanzar now distributes. It also took him about 6 years to get Fuze picked up, so VitaminFizz is ahead of schedule..
Thanks again, and May the Force be with you..
If you read the Quarterly, it states that revenues are down because Level 5's promotions with major retailers.
Gross Profit
During the three months ended April 30, 2015, gross loss was $122,870 compared to gross profit of $208,488 during the same period in fiscal 2014. The decrease was due the Level 5’s promotion sales during the quarter to launch new key retailers. Gross margin were 35.9% in the three months ended April 30, 2014...
Troops,
It has been a while since I have written anything in regards to Minerco, and I thought we would be past this stage by now, but I guess we aren't. Why don't we take a look back at some of the accomplishments that have been made the past few months.
1. Minerco increased its stake in Avanzar to 75% ownership,and even though Avanzar is on the small side, I think that it will grow with the rest of the company and become a tremendous asset.
a) We will profit not only from distributing VitaminFizz, but from sales too.
b) Ability to scout out new products for potential acqusition
c) Build relationships and alliances with other companies like the new one we just forged with Outlaw Energy. (I highly recommend reading about their CEO)
* The benefit that Avanzar will bring to Minerco as whole over the long run should not be understated, and this really does begin to bring value to Minerco and will continue to do so as they grow together.
2. Divests energy business properties. Not only did Minerco profit from this sale which will look good on the books, but it can also wipe its hands clean from that old mess and finally close the door on the 'old company.'
3. Expanding their distribution in SoCal with unified grocers. Unified grocers has operations all the way up the west coast to Seattle I believe, and this is Minerco's foot in the door for Northern West Coast Expansion.
Also, I am speculating, but I think Minerco wants to achieve 'critical mass' in Southern California to build up the cash flow. VitaminFizz will do the Heavy lifting and pave the way for Creamer, THC, and Island Style making it that much easier to get them into the established market instantly increasing SKU's. If Level 5 has an incredibly strong and profitable presence in SoCal it will make it that much easier for them to leverage their expansion.
4. The Herbal Collection, and if you know me, you know that I am not really a fan of this one, but then again I don't know too much about it at this point because the company hasn't given too many specifics. It just doesn't seem to fit with the other brands.
5. United Kingdom seems to be behind schedule, and I am really curious to see how this plays out. If they don't honestly have anything like this there, once Fizz catches on, it could explode. Time will tell.
6. Spring Break, what the hell was that all about? I thought there was going to be a 'targeted follow-up' or something.
7. Vanis did drop the ball by letting the cat out of the bag in reference to the potential up-list, and he also mentioned that we would see the OS go down a little bit, but we are still at 3.3 Billion, and if you're realistic you will know that this is our biggest issue which will have to be dealt with.
8. I am really curious to see what Summer will bring. I am sure promotions, advertising, and I really wish expansion, but I don't think that is happening just yet.
9. What this really comes down to are the Quarterly Numbers, and I hope this coming Q due in June 2015 brings us close to that One Million mark, but I also believe that it is going to take quite a few more to really get the ball rolling, and I am looking to Q1 2016 as a real tell.
We all have to keep in mind that this is a start-up company only in its first 10 months of business. Vanis and Ezra have accomplished quite a bit in a short amount of time, and most of what has been done has been nothing in which we have been waiting for. As with any company there certainly are a few issues, but Minerco also has enough in the pipeline and a team of industry superstars who are executing their game plan almost to a Tee from what was laid out on the 2014 CC.
So, if you're looking for a get rich quick scheme, I don't think MINE is for you, but if you have a little vision, patience, risk-tolerance, and the desire to actually invest in a start-up company, then MINE really might have the potential to become something in a few years time.
May the Force be with you!
Miner's.
There has been a lot of drama in the past few days, and again The Company has done nothing but report more achievements and good news. Why don't we recap a few of the highlight's.

* Why would CEO Scott Vanis put all of these trading restrictions in place unless he was serious about doing big things with Minerco. Keep in mind he holds over 50,000,000 shares which he bought with his own money.
Ceo Newsletter update
a) $740,000 top line revenues, showing 45% growth
b) 315,000 Bottles of VitaminFizz Purchased in Southern California
c) 1,200 locations and counting
d) 280 Walgreens, 45 Kmart, 160 Albertsons and 30 Gristedes locations
Even our industry advisors and brand partners are impressed by the success and speed of the market’s acceptance of and demand for VitaminFIZZ.
In preparation for the Spring / Summer seasons, we have ramped up production to satisfy the unprecedented consumer demand for VitaminFIZZ. In addition, we are lighting up the United Kingdom (UK) market this Spring. In fact, we will be the first (in our category) to market in the UK. We’ll also be evaluating a few new markets in a few different corners of the U. S. and the world.
e) Avanzar grows by 40%, 5300 locations
f)Spring Break in Panama City, Florida made 250,000 consumer impresions
** The targeted follow up will start in the coming days and weeks.
Important new focus
Uplisting to a major exchange would be an incredible milestone for the company. This is when Real money and Real investors would finally be able to join up with Team MINE. I imagine this is a very difficult process, but judging by the company's performance this past year, I think they will make it happen.
Increasing Shareholder Equity by purchasing cash flowing assets, and building the business up vertically. This is how they will build out the company, by acquiring the assets which will enable them to do it all in house, and giving them 3-4 bites off of each apple.
We saw in today's PR that they have already begun making this happen with the purchase of more stake in Avanzar, giving them a 51% interest.
Avanzar will immediately use this money to grow their business, which leaves me to wonder which is the next component they will buy, and giving them more bites off the apple.. I have a strong theory on this, but I will save it for my next article.
Yes, the price action isn't the best, and especially for what has been done. I hear people upset that there are no billboards, or no celebrity yet, and on and on.. Vanis and the team are doing this thing the right way. Slow, steady growth, and building a solid foundation to grow a strong business on.
I have been tracking and following Minerco very closely for over a year now, and with the professional manner in which they have conducted themselves, the execution of their business plan, and the fact that VitaminFIZZ truly is 'best in breed' gives me confidence in parking my money and INVESTING in $MINE...

* Why would CEO Scott Vanis put all of these trading restrictions in place unless he was serious about doing big things with Minerco. Keep in mind he holds over 50,000,000 shares which he bought with his own money.
Ceo Newsletter update
a) $740,000 top line revenues, showing 45% growth
b) 315,000 Bottles of VitaminFizz Purchased in Southern California
c) 1,200 locations and counting
d) 280 Walgreens, 45 Kmart, 160 Albertsons and 30 Gristedes locations
Even our industry advisors and brand partners are impressed by the success and speed of the market’s acceptance of and demand for VitaminFIZZ.
In preparation for the Spring / Summer seasons, we have ramped up production to satisfy the unprecedented consumer demand for VitaminFIZZ. In addition, we are lighting up the United Kingdom (UK) market this Spring. In fact, we will be the first (in our category) to market in the UK. We’ll also be evaluating a few new markets in a few different corners of the U. S. and the world.
e) Avanzar grows by 40%, 5300 locations
f)Spring Break in Panama City, Florida made 250,000 consumer impresions
** The targeted follow up will start in the coming days and weeks.
Important new focus
Uplisting to a major exchange would be an incredible milestone for the company. This is when Real money and Real investors would finally be able to join up with Team MINE. I imagine this is a very difficult process, but judging by the company's performance this past year, I think they will make it happen.
Increasing Shareholder Equity by purchasing cash flowing assets, and building the business up vertically. This is how they will build out the company, by acquiring the assets which will enable them to do it all in house, and giving them 3-4 bites off of each apple.
We saw in today's PR that they have already begun making this happen with the purchase of more stake in Avanzar, giving them a 51% interest.
Avanzar will immediately use this money to grow their business, which leaves me to wonder which is the next component they will buy, and giving them more bites off the apple.. I have a strong theory on this, but I will save it for my next article.
Yes, the price action isn't the best, and especially for what has been done. I hear people upset that there are no billboards, or no celebrity yet, and on and on.. Vanis and the team are doing this thing the right way. Slow, steady growth, and building a solid foundation to grow a strong business on.
I have been tracking and following Minerco very closely for over a year now, and with the professional manner in which they have conducted themselves, the execution of their business plan, and the fact that VitaminFIZZ truly is 'best in breed' gives me confidence in parking my money and INVESTING in $MINE...
May the Force be with you...
It has been quiet a while since I have written one of these, but there seems to be a lot of confusion and worry by some investors, and seems like a good time for a reality check.
Why don't we recap and list a few of the Developments that have happened this year:
- The trial period at Walgreens was successful and will now be a staple in SoCal locations throughout 2015.
- Gristedes Supermarket Major Chain placement in New York City.
- VitaminFizz radio advertising in Southern California for both Walgreens and Albertsons specific.
- Albertsons Supermarket Major Chain Placement for SoCal.
- New Market in Las Vegas, making this the Third Market for VitaminFizz.
- *Collaboration with Student City Spring Break in Panama City, Florida.
a) This was a brilliant move by Minerco. Judging by the pictures that have already surfaced, Fizz is playing a MAJOR role in the activities down there, and those kids celebrating (who come mainly from Southern States) will leave there knowing the VitaminFizz.
b) You know how good it really is, and this was a great way to get our brand in front of a large number of consumers.
c)I think this will be remembered as a big move by the company.
*Speculation; a new market will result of this, Florida..?
I could list a lot more Milestones for sure, but I think those all speak for themself. Minerco and Scott Vanis have accomplished everything they have told us about on the Conference Call last year, and even threw in many surprises too.
While we are at it, let's take a look at some of the items we seem to be waiting on.
- THC Brand. I get a lot of disagreement with me among Miner's, but I think they should pass on this. There really is a very marginal market, and it certainly does not fit in the 'good for you' portfolio. As I have said, over 21 and minimal states, there is no money in that. Also, being connected to 'drugs' would most likely prevent us from being picked up by a bigger company.
- Vitamin Creamer. This one has the potential to be a home run. We have seen the signs of potential BIG NAME partner, and the possibility of many way more SKU's added to the market, but it hasn't been unveiled yet. Fingers Crossed!
- United Kingdom. Distribution to the UK should be happening this Spring, pretty excited to see how this one plays out.
- Island Style, Billboards, Advertising, Territories, Revenues, etc..
When I look at all that has been accomplished, and in the professional manner in which it all has been done, it gives me real confidence that the company will continue on the path of growing and checking milestones off one by one in a very precise way.
I know the price per share doesn't make sense, and Bashers will tell you not to fall in love with a stock, but I am not in love with a stock. I am in love with a company, a company that has stayed true to its word, and one that has delivered more than I expected in a shorter amount of time.
Warren Buffett says that if you like a company, why would you ever sell your stock. I don't care if the pps explodes in the next few months, or next year. For me this is an investment, and over time as milestones are accomplished, revenues are grown, the pps will no doubt reflect all that has been done. MINE
I am continuing to look into Shadow Beverages and Snacks, and thought that I would update on two more Ex Pepsi Executives within this team. When combined with L5, that is a lot of Pepsi.
I am just speculating that this means anything; 1. If I was far along into my career after being a VP at Pepsi, I don't think that I would be wasting my time on anything that wasn't serious. 2. Having ties and connections to such big companies will no doubt help in the success of MINE. We all must have learned by now how important connections are. 3. These guys have worked with the big boys, and know how to do it.

* I am not 100% clear on what is going on with Shadow Beverage and MINE, but I think the deal is that Avanzar will be the sole distributor in California of Shadow's line, which includes GNC products, but this in turn will no doubt open another door or two for VitaminFizz and L5's portfolio..
Really is going to be an exciting 2015!
Today's news was a nice surprise giving us a much appreciated boost in terms of price per share. I really like how Minerco keeps quiet until they have something noteworthy to inform shareholders of.
The growth of Avanzar sounds like it is going well:
- More stores being added in CA weekly and including Walgreens
- 25% growth in San Diego
- Walmart! (not sure of the exact details)
- Winco
- Stater Bros
** The biggest news today though in my opinion is the deal with Shadow Beverages and Snacks of Phoenix, AZ. Have a look at the DD I did below, pretty interesting, and two more Ex Pepsi executives joining up with the 'old team.'
Shadow Beverage and Snacks
*George Martinez
- President and founder
- Former Pepsi Bottling Group (23 years)
- Pelican Vending Solutions
Sam Jones
- Exeutive at Pepsi and SoBe Beverages
Shadow was founded in 2008 by George Martinez and Sam Jones, beverage executives with broad experience from the Pepsi System.The vision since inception has been to be an incubator of beverage and snack products in the “Better for You” nutritional and functional categories.

Shadow Beverage names former Pepsi Executive as:
http://www.bevnet.com/news/2013/shadow-beverages-names-former-pepsico-executive-as-cmo
Sam Jones in Food and Drink International (interesting read)
http://www.fooddrink-magazine.com/index.php/articles/producers/1314-shadow-beverages-and-snacks
The two gained experience working at Pepsi and SoBe. In 2008, Jones and Martinez decided to work together and build a beverage business plan that was inclusive of incubation and longevity within the beverage space. “We wanted to create an operating company which could handle more than one brand, similar to the large consumer product companies like DPSG, Pepsi and Coke – a house to more than one brand,” Jones recalls.
That is a great post. The revenues by end of Quarter 1 2015 will be hard to ignore. The team is executing..
I love seeing all of the positive posting in the forum..
The .005s seem to be holding and I am hoping it is safe to the say the bottom is in. The company has been really quiet and hasn't PR'd since October 6 when they announced that Strawberry Watermelon has sold out on Amazon, and that they were doing another 'rush' production run.
Lets recap the past few weeks:
- New to the street interview (taped in August)
- Follow up interview taped in October, release date TBD..
- Improved VitaminFizz website
- Improvements made to the packaging
- 300 stores in New York
- 300 Stores in California
- Walgreens Deal in California
- Maxim Event Sponsor
- Amazon Prime (product will now be at your door in 2 days)
* Product is selling so well on Amazon that Fizz is now strategically at 3 Amazon Hubs throughout the country.
Troops, Keep in mind this is only the beginning.. It looks like VitaminFizz is getting its footing and will continue to grow at an exponential rate and ahead of schedule. We also have the rest of the portfolio to look forward to, and whatever surprises come along the way.. Very Exciting to watch.. Go MINE!
I have to say that things look better and better every day with this stock.. The Riley Bottles are awesome, very thoughtful, and another great way to help get the FIZZ word out while also giving back and doing something good...
Here is something else that is very interesting which emerged today.. VitaminFizz is looking to higher a 'National Account Manager.'
Job Description
VitaminFizz, a healthy beverage brand, is launching nationally and requires the services of an experienced National Account Manager to grow and strengthen the emerging customer base.
Existing relationships with a majority of the top national and regional (NY, LA) chains (Walmart, Target, Costco, Walgreens, Safeway, Kroger, etc) is essential. The work location is not limited to Los Angeles, working remotely will be considered based on experience and performance.

* This is why I am invested in MINE.. This team is the real deal, they aren't lying to you about a license, they under promise, over deliver, and execute with precision.. I bet this thing comes together and takes off much faster than any of us ever thought..
There are so many things in the works for this company, and to question whether or not this is real, is just crazy talk to me... No other OTC stock being tracked on @#$% is executing like MINE..
%^ $ had a first hand encounter with CEO Scott Vanis at WeedStock, and he told her that:
'Big things are in the works'
I am guessing this is why he has bought 50,000,000 shares at market price since December..
Darin Ezra tweeted his first tweet in months:
Darin Ezra @darinezra · Sep 6 @PowerBrandsLLC @VitaminFizz thanks Miners, we are going to take this one all the way!
As Kenneth pointed out to me the other day, Darin is stepping out of the shadows and taking over the drivers seat... Remember, Darin Ezra was behind the SK energy shots, which 50 cent endorsed, and he was also behind Neuro, who they got Lady Gaga to endorse and was eventually picked up and Distributed by Pepsi..
Darin Ezra will be on New to the Street doing a televised interview September 20th:
- http://newtothestreet.tv/
- http://finance.yahoo.com/news/street-television-announces-air-dates-194500842.html?soc_src=mediacontentstory
The more DD I do, the more I believe that this company stands out.. There are just too many catalysts coming up for this stock be ignored..
On the CC they mentioned that their partner in Colorado has about 10 MJ edibles in the works, and that their portfolio is very impressive..
Still on the way:
- VitaminFizz entering new regions of the country
- Revenues from this should just start stacking up month by month, quarter by quarter..
- Coffee Boost
- Vitamin Creamer
- THC Brand
- Gary Smith hopefully steps his presence up too
MINE is a long hold with a lot of potential.. I am betting they rake in the cash long before the other purely MJ plays being tracked on 420i... This is only the beginning, product launched about a month ago, these guys are following through, executing, and with so much in the pipeline still to be unveiled, I believe we will be sitting very pretty one day..
Second Production Run, with the 3 new flavors, and ahead of schedule... This company is delivering...
http://www.minercoresources.com/news.php?p=77
- “Our distribution paths are opening up faster than anticipated”
- “Retailers and distributors alike are quickly finding value in the VitaminFIZZ brand and with this momentum, we expect to see strong penetration in the first two markets before the end of the year.”
Darin Ezra, CEO of Power Brands Consulting
An Article on Sparkling Ice that I just saw... Interesting read...
A billion dollar brand by 2018.
http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Manufacturers/Talking-Rain-CEO-We-can-turn-Sparkling-ICE-into-a-1bn-brand-by-2018
- If Sparkling Ice is a billion dollar brand by 2018 (my initial thoughts)
1. Even if MINE is half or 1/3 that, it will be huge for the pps
2. MINE has a bigger portfolio of products; Fizz, Boost, Creamer, THC, etc...
3. If this is a billion dollar market it will surely attract Coke, Pepsi, or a big boy...
Okay... In terms of Price Per Share...
(general pps)
TRTC used to be at .55 and it is now at .30
MCIG used to be at .50 and it is now at .28
ATTBF used to be at 1.10 and it is now at .42
TAUG used to be at .07 and it is now at .02
MINE used to be at .018 and it is now at .0069
Do you guys REALLY not see the pattern here? It isn't just MINE that has gone down, or gone down on good news, it is the entire OTC universe.. Just take a peek at @#'s portfolio, the majority of his stocks are down 50%, just like yours, and just like mine....
What is it going to take for the pps to go up and sustain:
1. Time
2. Continued execution and Follow through by the company
3. Revenues
4. National Roll out
5. OTC market sentiment to pick up
6. Share buy back
7. up listing
I will say this one more time in hopes that it will finally sink in... This is a brand new company, the product just launched a month ago, they are executing on EVERYTHING they've set out to on the CC, but it is going to take TIME...
It sounds like they are building this company in a very planned and conscientious way, slowly and accurately.. Building a solid foundation so that they can keep adding to it safely and securely...
* Here is a big stand out for me.. While TRTC and GBLX are trying to get a license, and might one day grow marijuana (which is a fairly limited market. ie.. minimal states and over 21) MINE is already selling their product, its in the market, on the shelves, and that market has a lot more potential than minimal states and over 21... Anybody, from all 50 states can enjoy Mine's products.. I am not trying to put down anyone's favorite stock.. I am just stating the obvious facts.. --
The Wiki page doesn't matter.. The shareholders are obviously excited, and I wouldn't discount the effect that many of our efforts will have on the success of these products and for the company in general..
Also, this is only the beginning of the story, Page 2..
Let's recap what has happened over the past few weeks:
1. Initial Launch of VitaminFizz in New York City
2. Product made available on Amazon (sold out and re-stocked)
3. 3 new flavors were added to the roster
4. Initial Roll out in California
5. Sponsoring their first event, Justice Jog, on Sept 14 in LA.. (1,000 plus competitors will Feel the Fizz)
* Take a look around.. The whole sector is down 50% or more.. All of the favorites are taking a beating, but it is easy to single MINE out because it has the strongest support..(F!gures)
When I reflect back on the past few months, and especially the past few weeks, what I see and realize is that this is a company perfectly executing their plan.. The growth of this stock will be organic, and that is good.... Lets all do our part. MINE.
More of the team being brought into light... If you go back and read my previous posts about Drink King being ex Red Bull, and how I was betting MINE would be helped by ex Red Bull all the way across the country.. Here is some more to back that theory up..
Avanzar Sales and Distribution ( Southern California and Arizona)
Bill Juarez As Managing Partner of Los Angeles-based Energized Distribution, Bill helped lead the company from a start-up to the widely recognized gold standard for Red Bull distribution in North America, generating revenues in excess of $60 million annually while managing a staff of 150 employees.

He possesses 20 years of food & beverage industry experience in North America.
Joe Shippee As Energized Distribution’s Director of Sales, Joe oversaw the organization’s sales and distribution efforts across all channels of trade in Southern California. Prior to being appointed Director of Sales, Joe managed Energized Distribution’s regional key account team and was responsible for orchestrating trade level programming. He possesses 20 years of food & beverage industry experience in North America.

The Posting in this forum is beginning to get ridiculous..
- VitaminFizz on sale through Amazon is a way to give investors an early taste of the product
- It selling out is a good thing, and DEMAND is a good thing...
- 98% of the inventory I am sure is for the Brick and Mortar retail shelves
I personally can't wait to see what new team members are brought into light with the California Roll out, and who will be distributing them.. I am also betting that the 'old team' is connected from coast to coast and we will be seeing roll out in new regions each month or so..
Still have the following to look forward to:
-Vitamin Creamer
- Armor, Flex, Rise, etc..
- THC
- SpellCom promtions
- Regional Roll Outs
- Revenues
* SparkIce definitely doesn't have a portfolio of products like Level5.. We tap into at least four different markets with what we have, and I am betting this is just the beginning of what is to come from the company..
This brand just launched Last week.. I am betting momentum builds really fast too.. I simply cannot understand the instant gratification so many of you seem to need... I hate being rude, but you boggle this Jedi's mind..
I don't think that many of you understand the importance of Drink King Distribution. The VitaminFizz team has how many former Red Bull and Pepsi batting for them?
I cannot wait to see what members will be brought into light with the California Roll Out, and then region by region I bet we see former connection after connection..
It looks as if this has always been a team effort, and we are talking about the former team that knocked Red Bull out of the park...
Drink King Distributing:
The leadership of Drink King has over 60 years combined experience
Sal Salvato:
- Red Bull North America; Division Sale Manager
- Greater New York City Area
- Vice President of Drink King Distributing
Peter Strahm:
- Red Bull North America; Vice President/General Manager(2000-09)
* The beginning of Red Bull, just like Smith and Ginsberg
- Snapple; Mid West Regional Manager (1992-93)
- Snapple Beverages; National Marketing Analyst (1991-92)
- Pepsi; District Sales Manager; New York City (1985-1987)
Drink King and the New York roll out is much bigger and more calculated than it may appear.. You know Minerco doesn't overdo PR's, and that is a good thing..
What to look forward too:
- California Roll out, and what connections that will bring
- New States and other regional roll outs
- Advertisements
- Promotions
Keep in mind This thing just took off this week... 4 months from now, I am betting we will all be really happy... I made two more purchases today, and now I am just going to sit tight and watch this story unfold..
Level 5 has a large, enthusiastic and dedicated fan base across the country," said V. Scott Vanis, Minerco's Chairman and CEO. "While we are moving quickly to get VitaminFIZZ(R) on brick and mortar retailers' shelves in every state, we wanted to give those fans the opportunity to feel the fizz now.
Give this story time.. The key players involved on this give me a lot of confidence.. As I have said before.. CEO Scott Vanis isn't holding 50,000,000 shares for .05.... As Bud Guy says.... BOOM!
I don't think that the distribution partnership with Drink King was by chance.
Strahm and Salvato have impressive resumes to say the least, and we can now add two more members of the old Red Bull Team to the Minerco roster...
Combined with Gary Smith and Dan Ginsberg, these are the guys who launched Red Bull..
Drink King Distributing:
The leadership of Drink King has over 60 years combined experience
Sal Salvato:
- Red Bull North America; Division Sale Manager
- Greater New York City Area
- Vice President of Drink King Distributing
Peter Strahm:
- Red Bull North America; Vice President/General Manager(2000-09)
* The beginning of Red Bull, just like Gary Smith and Dan Ginsberg
- Snapple; Mid West Regional Manager (1992-93)
- Snapple Beverages; National Marketing Analyst (1991-92)
- Pepsi; District Sales Manager; New York City (1985-1987)
Even though there was a sell off on our big day, the story continues to intrigue and shine.. Combine this with what SpellCom has up their sleeve, and who will be distributing us in California.. This story is just going to keep getting better and better as it unfolds..
Tired of defending the potential here to the bashers who have yet to take the time to understand what MINE is all about...
A little post I had in the Feed today:
Yeah comparing a company whose team sits on the board of Pot Belly's, who ran the beginning era of the most important beverage of the last 30 years (Red Bull) and were Presidents of Pepsi, and comparing them to CEO's NOBODY has heard of is ridiculous.. T... has some creams you can rub on your body, but only if you're over 18 and live in a selected marginal region of the country, where MINE has broad national appeal and products that EVERYONE in ALL 50 states will be able to enjoy....
As I said, the market is crowded, but the only brand standing in VFizzes way is Spark Ice... The others like Fruit Water look sloppy, and you can tell that they were rushed on to the market.. VFizz has been tried, tested and reformulated over the past few years... And the product has been perfected, giving VFizz the market edge..
Plus, this isn't our only product.. I am a believer in this team.... Afterall, Gary Smith isn't messing around at this point in his career.. He is CEO/0wner of Big Red.. Top 10 beverage brand.
Great Find Bud Guy....
That Article was published in September 2011... This is the Minerco team, but now we've also added Gary Smith to the roster too...
Coffee Boost will be a huge player in the energy shot category. If SK has the urban demographic, then Coffee Boost will have the yuppie, 20 and 30 something's , and Middle Class Demographic.. This only shows me that 5 hour energy is beginning to look dated...
Also, we have VitaminFizz, which we all know is the Flagship, a beast..
Coming soon:
Level 5
THC
* Everyday, more and more evidence comes to light adding to my confidence in Mines' potential.
Pay attention to the names who launched Fifty Cent's Street King.. Look Familiar?
http://digital.bnpmedia.com/publication/?i=80623&p=32
I have to say that the new packaging looks GREAT... Darin Ezra was right when he said that SparkIce packaging can't even compare.. I am willing to bet that SparkIce is probably starting to 'Feel The Fizz,' and they better look out... As Ken said earlier, we have:
- Ex Red Bull
- Ex Pepsi
- Ex Nestle
We are at T-minus 20, and there are enough catalysts here to keep us going for 12 months Plus..
- Distribution
- New States
- New retailers that want to carry our product; think BIG..
- Level 5 Roll Out
- Coffee Creamers
- THC
- Revenues
- National Roll out
- Celebrity
- Revenues
Honestly, I am going to hold my small mountain of shares for nothing less than AMAZING.....
Troops, this is crazy.... I cannot believe how much instant gratification so many seem to need..This company has followed through with EVERYTHING they stated on the CC.. I have to judge them on their actions, and the actions so far stand for themselves.. It leads me to believe that they will continue to set goals and strive toward achieving them..
- Roll out of the Flagship brand, VitaminFizz goes out in a little over a week
- Coffee Boost too
Then we can expect news about:
- L5 products rolling
- Distribution net works growing
- Deals with retailers
- THC drink
* This company is just starting, the business plan is being executed on, and there is A Lot of potential for the future..
Why is the share price at a low? - Because people begin to believe what they hear, if they hear it enough. Entities out there have been scaring people, and it wouldn't surprise me if competitors were beginning to take notice and feel threatened.. I have received some absurd Tweets about facts that I know are true, and the bottom line is that someone was just trying to scare me.. Psychology is being used, and look how scared many of you are... So scared you sold. Why?
- I have done my DD, and I review it often to remind myself of what, and better yet who I am invested in..
- Gary Smith is the owner and CEO of a $200 million company, and a top 12 beverage brand, and do you think he would put that at stake to rip you off..
The same can be said for the rest of our team:
- Dan Ginsberg is the CEO of a billion dollar company... Do you really think he would jeopardize what he has worked for his whole life, and associate himself with a scam..
This World Class team has come together for a reason... "Big things are in the works.."
But, with anything being grown from the ground up, it is going to take time, and you are going to have to be patient... As I have said before, this company, and this team, are one text message away from important people in most likely every top brand on the market...
