Jay Walker, The bi-annual maintenance has been completed.
The impact of extra aggregate production for FQM is over. Operations are normal from that perspective. More gold is being produced as prices for gold increase. There are constant meetings almost on a daily basis with top management and FQM working out the details and language of the soon to be announced very material deal that is in the works. This is well known and reported on the networks with live interviews, in the papers, and confirmed by government sources. Those mediation facts are well documented. You will do well IMO as a buyer at this level as I have repeatedly stated. Our group bought over one million shares in the last sixty days because we believe there is little downside risk.
Those of us who actually do visit the mine, provide photos of our projects in all three countries where they are located, speak routinely with BOD and management members as well as government officials, and own FQM stock also, do think we have a reasonable handle on the future of the company. Of course one can always be wrong, but combined expertise gives us confidence. We have only posted here to provide some balance to the malicious attacks that might lead a new or naive investor to make a decision that would hurt them. My post was about FQM which most PTQ stockholders are not really up to speed with and very relevant to our future. (i.e. Constantly attacking member's of management about their compensation packages when all is above board, within industry guidelines, and audited regularly is absurd.)
'Your guy' as you call him, may be giving you the best information he has, and viewing it from his perspective, and position in the company. I believe speaking on a regular basis with the BOD, senior on site operations executive in all locations, and having large investments an ongoing operations in Panama in other areas might give one better insight.
After the election I will be free to spend a little on site time with PTQ. Presently, as those who regularly communicate on other venues already know, I have been occupied several months helping my son restore a 1969 air plane he received for his birthday, and dealing with some persistent health issues. However I have participated in direct communications on three continents with those who actually have substantial investments herein, and talk regularly with those who are making the decisions. I am not expecting any great increase in SP until production returns to above historical levels, perhaps next year. But, as Hilary says, "What difference does it really make at this point?" Still looks like a sound investment at a very cheap price right now. Maybe it is time to move on for those not happy. They certainly contribute nothing here worth reading. Good Luck to you.
I am really old, so I don't actually know what a "twisted dude" is, but it sounds painful. LOL!!
