I like your question regarding the DD value of visiting the Copper King Mining operations and Milford. No doubt a lot of people have the same question or discount the value as being superfluous to their investments. I wouldn't argue the point with anyone as it really all boils down to what you want to get out of life, where you may draw your knowledge and pleasure from. I would like to respond from my perspective.

Quite simply, visiting Copper King was a great excuse to have a good time. When seven of us from the Seattle area flew to Las Vegas for a week with visiting the mine being our primary objective, we had the time of our lives. Great lodging, food, entertainment, and on top of it all, a very enjoyable drive and visit to the mine, mill, office and the town. Kita and Ron were both delightful and professional. We had a great time drawing a correlation between our CPRK penny stock investments and the physical aspects of the company and the nature of the people we met.

As for the DD value, that DD is pretty subjective in this case, perhaps with most investments. Heck, even the CPRK PR's leave a lot to the imagination. However, there is a mill producing product, an office doing work, phones ringing, trucks working, holes in the ground and a town in serious need of cash flow and revitalization. I see opportunity and incentive. Very nice looking modern schools! That little veterans park where we stopped to have lunch was special.

Companies are interesting to visit whether General Motors plants or Hostess Cupcake bakeries. If you like industry and all the bits and pieces found in hardware stores, factories and business operations may also be fun and interesting to a person. It's certainly a personal choice.

DD value? I see a visit as just one aspect of gaining some understanding of what an investment may in part represent. One aspect, one part! And for that reason I found my visit to CPRK to be both a pleasure and informing. Not one of us complained about the long round trip drive or felt slighted at all by the experience. We all brought home our little pieces of ore and our memories of a good time and pictures of what we believe to be an up and coming mining operation and personal investment.

The value is in the mind of the beholder. We saw value and now we will just simply see how our investments do. Nothing more than that. No great earthshaking epiphanies. Just a great experience. While that may not be your cup of tea, for us it was unquestionably worthwhile.

For anyone thinking of going for a visit, I hope that you make it. ENJOY!
