There won't be any tier-1, or A-market coverage, let alone national coverage.
Most media outlets at the tier-1/A-market level vet their stories - MMEX would fail any such vetting.
Additionally, MMEX's 10,000 bpd rudimentary topping unit is not a national interest story - it only got covered by a second-rate, local B-market TV station, and not even as the lead story - MMEX couldn't compete against an Ector County car-crash...
Why bother covering something that is never going to happen? Without project financing, there is no MMEX story, other than a share selling scheme. Maybe the shareholder lawsuits will generate some media attention?
