Beth, get your facts right - here's what the April 25, 2014 news release stated:
Additionally, there has been accelerated interest in the Altos de Lipangue project with major and mid-tier mining companies ...
"Major" means ... um ... major.
You might also recall that BP and another party commissioned Sepulveda-Perez to interpret the hyper-spectral imaging survey, not to mention that AC Howe, Gordon House, and various others have been on MDMN's properties. Yes, majors have been ALL OVER the properties - so it shouldn't be that far-fetched that one could be involved.
Far be it from me to throw cold water on these sizzling hot events. However, we do know how carefully crafted all of Medinah's updates have been. I see no changes in behavior, patterns, nor in careful choice of verbiage.
Please note: "highly qualified Peruvian mining experts..." This could mean a variety of things to the one who has been burnt not once but more than thrice.
So, just what do they mean by the above? One thing it could mean is that the Lett's family, long involved in Peruvian mining, have grouped all their related persons, affiliated persons or individuals whom they know to be ""highly qualified Peruvian mining experts...".
Certainly, there is no hint in the carefully crafted verbiage that this entity from whom Medinah has accept an offer is an operating major mining concern. The update simply states that Medinah has accepted an offer from ""highly qualified Peruvian mining experts..."
These guys could be penniless and broke, but they may also be "highly qualified Peruvian mining experts..."
Lest I get stones thrown at my car windows as I drive through Medinah town, please understand that the way they word their updates leaves open a whole slew of thoughts on who, what, where and when.
And, finally, if they just complete the agreement and show the world there is a signed, sealed and deliverable agreement, then we don't have to go through this constant charade of ???????
