Cotton & Western Mining Inc. (CWRN)

[vesta]

Regarding the illegal activities associated with CWRN, what’s done is done. We will just have to hope that the judgments and punishments do not cause severe or prolonged setbacks for the company.

However, my more immediate and practical concern is current operations. It is difficult to deny that there is a possibility that mining operations, including drilling, may be currently stalled, or even shut down due to a number of factors, including insufficient operating funds, prohibitive high cost of production, or even unsatisfactory reserves.

CRWN may be able to survive its legal woes, but there will be no hope at all if it has been determined that mining has become impractical or unprofitable.
