You are right. When I show colleagues the ridiculous claims made about Todora, they cannot help themselves and laugh themselves breathless! How anyone can believe the tales of riches, and gold, and diamonds is beyond the comprehension of all reasonable persons.
There is no due diligence on Atacama that would be acceptable in any securities regulator hearing-the complete absence of credible (in this case credible means following the rules of disclosure as set out in various securities acts and not foolish claims made by those who are knowingly misleading the public). So for instance you cannot call a press release on Todora credible as there was no chain of custody established, the much promised assay results have never been proffered nor filed with any reputable government agency from the Ministry of Mines to securities regulators (I know, I know, it is upsetting to think someone is making these claims and call it due diligence when in fact nothing can be further from the truth! It's okay though, it's okay to cry.)
The only ones making such claims are the ones who have everything to gain from acceptance of the lies or, to take part in the deception but have to adhere to the game plan and state they are factual.
A little bird told me today, just about fifteen minutes ago, to watch for an official updating of consequence regarding Atacama, and it won't be news well received.
Hopefully by then Mr. Dion will be aware of all of the issues facing the company.
