Sounds like what you are saying is that nothing is believable when it comes to the amount compensated - could be the two extremes (disclosed nothing, or disclosing an inflated amount), or somewhere in the middle.
All I know is that HMNC promoted the crap out of a worthless pile of tailings and their "patent-pending" E-Leach process in 2011 and got the stock to rise to $3, before slowly spiraling down in 2012 to the current 14 cents. And still not an ounce of gold produced. Same old story.....
