Your "opinion" is lacking of facts.
"My best understanding of Shawn's part in this is that Mike Hill told him something to the effect that the samples were "delayed", "not in hand", etc. Shawn then, in my opinion, innocently made a reasonable assumption that the delay was due to the lab and used the term "backlog" in his explanation."
Before I informed Shawn that I had spoken to Expectorate, I asked him if the "backlog" excuse had come directly from Mike Hill and Shawn assured me that it came straight from the horses mouth. Shawn had to eat this crap and disseminate it. But if Shawn wants to correct the "record" and take one for the team, he can issue his own PR saying that he was the one who lied about the "backlog". Because it was a lie. That would of course be contrary to my "record" of the phone conversation.
And on Monday I will be informing Expectorate about the continuing defamation of their business on this board since you and others seek to continually mislead shareholders and potential shareholders with this line of BS. End of story.
"In retrospect, a mistake but NOT,in my opinion, a purposeful attempt to mislead. I firmly stick by my prior statement that I have never found Shawn and Jeremy to be anything but forthcoming and truthful."
Not a mistake, an outright lie. Only question for the public (not me, I have a clear "record" of the conversation) is, who was behind it, Shawn or Mike. Shawn clearly told me it was Mike, and I've checked my "record" where it's clear as day. Get my drift.
"He's got the Colombian Gov't giving him money"
No. There's no money involved in the grant. Don't give misleading DD. The grant was only for equipment and at this point I'm convinced that it was not a large amount of equipment. I asked Shawn about this and he wasn't able to provide anything more.
"Which brings us back to the "why" of the delay in the sample results. I, too, wonder why the results of the first 25 samples were delayed. If they were great and available from the lab, why not put them out? Good question....I don't know."
Shawn told me that if they had "good results" they would certainly want to release them at or before the mining conference. So, knowing that they will not release them prior to the mining conference leaves a fair implication, added to the over one month delay, that the samples came back as unsatisfactory.
I would assume that they are trying to find better samples and are sitting on the ones they already have.
"We can't totally discount the fact that, in this specific case, the lab has some involvement"
You CAN totally discount that the lab has any involvement. It's a total fabrication which Expectorate would not be happy about and that's why, when confronted with having to explain this defamation to Expectorate, Gemini via Shawn, has completely retracted that.
The fact that GXPI shareholders like yourself are clinging to that falsehood is sickening.
"In my judgement"
Your judgment is lacking on this issue.
"What I keep returning to is the simple fact of motive. The big payday for everyone, including the insiders, only comes with the full and successful execution of the business plan.
Again, prove out the resource at LP and get LC producing...!"
It's also possible that the motive is to find samples which actually show some gold in La Planada and in the meantime they've resorted to shady stall tactics while they search for better samples.
In my opinion, there is no greater currency than truth. I don't see that currency with regards to these samples and this company.
"MY logic then dictate's that Mike's words and actions along the way are aimed at achieving those ultimate goals" ...
I agree, his actions are self serving.
"...we've got honest questions and concerns about delays in two reports and the manner in which the rationale for the delays was presented. I'm not happy about the delays or the lack of a specific explanation for them (and the reasonable suspicion which has been engendered by that) but, for me, this issue, in and of itself, does not come close to being a deal breaker for the reasons listed above."
It's a deal breaker for me. Deal done. I don't like the stench of any of this. Before this, there was no stench. Now there is a stench. Anybody with a nose can smell it.
