Here is the response I received. I haven't altered it other than to put his answers in bold. He is a little to in to the brevity thing, but he does answer the questions. I would like more detail on who the third party assayer is but it is a start. Still on the fence but was happy to get a reply.
Hello Mr. Mellone, I am an investor in Tri-Star Holdings. I purchased some of your stock when it was RPDI and have held on through the transition. I am excited, with the soaring price of gold, about the direction of the company, but have a few questions that both reading message boards and pure individual skepticism have brought up. They are as follows:
1) Why don't you get another, third party, assay on the Lucky Linda claim. We are….There are multiple red flags with this report that need to be verified. Who is performing the assays on the other claims and are they independent, third parties? YES When will we get results back on the COS 1 & 2 sites, they have been talked about for some time now? They were to be delivered last week. We are waiting for them, soon. On cos #1 We did not do #2 yet.
2) Are there permits to mine, if not have they been applied for? We are in process of applying If you don't need them explain why. The BLM website states grandfathering is basically a myth and never applies so why don't we need one. Only on 25 acres of Wickenburg we don’t need it, it is private land. The other we will need when ready. Has the BLM truly been on site? Yes on the 18 they were there Can this be verified? call them lots of permitting questions I am counting as one.
3) Is the additional equipment being paid for with stock and if not, then how? Yes, paid 144 restricted What equipment is on site and what kind of production will it allow? We are now moving the heaver equipment on site.. we will grow up to 200 tons a day
These are just a few of the question and if I am able to establish a report and have others I hope you will answer them too. The pinks is a scary place, and a little transparency goes a long way. Thank you for your time. We do not intend to stay on the pink…. See Thursdays release for more info soon to be announced
