When checking facts concerning our investment, it is wise to turn to the company website for the true record of what was stated concerning operations at the 6200’ elevation of the Alto de Lipangue and the 5700’ elevation LDM mine. From the company website:
MEDINAH MINERALS, INC.
FLORIDA/CHILE NOTES – April 2012
"Next we went to the site of the Las Dos Marias base camp. As we neared the location we observed and could audibly hear the sounds of the excavator working. The LDM base camp was noted with containers for housing of miners, equipment, explosives, and technical items needed by the Company Geologist and Engineer. We reviewed the Mining Contract as well as the Explosives and Environmental Permits at site. The LDM site sits at an elevation of approximately 1750 meters. The snow level in this area usually does not get below the 1600 meter level. But, all preparations are being done to anticipate the continuation of work throughout winter conditions. There will be NO stoppage of work at the LDM location due to inclimate (sic) weather conditions."
I have found no mention on the official company website of work continuing at the higher elevation Alto during the infrequent snowstorms that visit this area. It makes sense to me that “safety first” would be the best policy when hauling heavy equipment up to the Alto this September and October. In the case of the LDM, the work camp is established, equipment is in place, and it would seem that operations should not be adversely affected by the occasional brief snowfall.
To summarize, there is no mention here of both properties remaining “open” during inclement weather. There is no contradiction in the record. If it is a personal choice to choose to establish a falsehood and then attempt to logically proceed from that false premise, why would that logical fallacy be forwarded to others as fact?
