Tenac, This was posted in the past and I believe all the info. is still acurate and if anything our position here has improved since this was posted. Some good links here to try out also. Best to you. Let us know if you have any questions. David
For those of you new to this board and want to know more about CDCH, here is a general run down of things and where you can go to find more DD. I seriously believe this will be big and time frame before this pops should be very soon. To all I wish the very best.

CDCH and MDMN Thoughts
After returning from the CDCH meeting in Las Vegas last Saturday and having time to think thru some things these are my observations.
1. There are two immediate opportunites contract wise for MDMN and CDCH which should become apparent in a matter of weeks as far as who,what,when,where and how.
2. There are five to six other companies waiting in the wings. CDCH and MDMN have competition for their land,companies,assets etc.
3. Juan said in the meetings that there was not a billion but billions in mineral assets. He should know the land as well or better than anyone else.
4. Juan mentions that MDMN should be worth $1.00 a share and CDCH $2.00 a share. He did not say a time frame for such a price and it could mean more or less depending on time and what the market sees.
5. Jim Decosta a Naked Short Expert feels there could be a short squeeze as we go forward with both companies.
6. These stocks for the most part and the companies behind them are not well known, are hidden gems and will be revealed soon enough to the public as signed deals are done. There was mentioned at the meeting approximately 122 registered shareholders. That number has also previously been at 128 so this stock is tightly held by very few stockholders even when you take into account those in street name thru their brokers.
7. It has been reinterated by Terry Smithson Consulting Engineer that both properties have the real deal and could be world class properties.
8. The o/s was again mentioned at approximately 135 million and that the company CDCH is closely held.
9.The board was reelected and has much integrity and is working hard with Juan to make sure that the company is properly evaluated,valued and shareholders and owners properly compensated for their faith in the company.
10. Patience will prove the market price will match the companies value in time.
11. It was mentioned at the meeting that 1 in 100 mining claims and companies are valid and this Medinah and Cerro Dorado property is more than valid with world class aspirations and minerals and research to back it up.
12. I feel fortunate to have been made aware by a friend about CDCH and MDMN and have gotten in at what I consider the ground floor for a very goood opportunity now and in the future.

Here is the ASM file download site. Should be very informative. Juan is difficult to understand as is Les due to the location in the room but you should find Terry Jim and others very easy to hear.
Jim is a good contact and have met him in person and spoke with him several times by phone. He should help you with information to do your DD.

The rest is not posted by Brent and are my thoughts and info. gathered over the years. I tried to take out things that no longer apply.
The following is also a very useful board for DD on CDCH and MDMN. You will need to register with basic info. to get access to all DD including a lot on Sumitomo and Hochschild the two main majors in the running for the JV.
Expecting BIG announcement any day of majors JV with CDCH. This is gonna be big, real BIG! IMO Below are my thoughts and some DD that may help you out and save some time if you’re interested. Like everyone, I am human and make mistakes so do your own DD. This is done to the best of my knowledge. Good luck to everyone!
COMPANY BACKGROUND
Cerro Dorado, Inc. ("CDCH" ) is a junior exploration company. The Company's primary objective is to explore and develop its Lobo / Solatario - Fortuna de Lampa & Ipun Island claims to the point that a major mining company will either join Cerro Dorado as a joint venture partner in further exploration and development, or, make a tender offer for the Company. In contrast to most junior companies, Cerro Dorado owns its properties outright, something I believe will prove to be a big plus in current negotiations with major mining companies.
One of Cerro Dorado's "hidden assets" is its relationship with Sr. Juan José Quijano, a professor of mining law at Santiago University, and dean of Chile's law school. He also practices before the Chilean Supreme Court. Sr. Quijano was appointed by the Peruvian Mining Commission to re-write Peru's mining laws; previously, Sr. Quijano had led the team that successfully re-wrote Chile's mining laws and investment codes. I believe that Sr. Quijano's association with Cerro Dorado provides significant credibility to CDCH's Chilean operations. With his political, industry and government connections, I believe that Sr. Quijano's ties to Cerro Dorado will prove to be invaluable in terms of permitting / developing properties they now own, as well as getting access to other potentially world-class projects in Chile and Peru.
The 270-hectare La Fortuna de Lampa ("Fortuna") project is located about 40 km NW of Santiago in the coastal range of Chile at an elevation of approximately 2,000 meters. Cerro Dorado acquired a 100% interest in the Fortuna project in April 1999 (subject to a 20% NPI capped at US$5 million). Fortuna is bordered to the west by Medinah's Alto de Lipangue project, where a huge (200 by 400 meters, projected to at depth of at least 1,000 meters) gold-copper breccia was recently discovered. Interestingly, the biggest gold nugget ever recovered in Chile was found on the Fortuna property - it's currently on display at the mining museum in Santiago. The area surrounding the Fortuna mine has been exploited since Spanish conquistador times for both alluvial gold and oxidized portions of the high grade quartz veins. The first modern day mining activities at the Fortuna property occurred around the turn of the century during which time the mine was worked for several years; several decades later, in 1941, mining activities started again, and, over the next 30 years, approximately 2,000 MT ore were mined, with recovered grades averaging 64 gm Au and 52 gm Ag. At present, there are over 1,100 meters of underground development on four levels at Fortuna (about one-third of the development representing drifting along the Fortuna vein), including six shafts and five chimneys. Independent geologists and engineers estimate that by re-opening the old workings that at least 80% of the ore reserves still in place would be available for mining and recovery. The Fortuna mine has a great deal of potential for new resources to be discovered beyond the limits of the existing proven, probable and possible ore blocks. The vein style gold mineralization at Fortuna occurs in a series of sub-parallel, fault-hosted quartz veins that strike N-NW and dip fairly steeply to the northeast. The main vein on the property is called the Fortuna vein; it can be traced underground and on surface over a total strike length of about 800 meters, and remains open at depth and along strike to the south. The mineralized quartz veins are narrow (averaging about 30 to 50 cm in thickness) but extremely rich. On the surface, several other veins occur within 5 or 10 meters in the hanging wall of the main vein and may be splays off of the main structure or fault-repeated veins. West of the Fortuna vein, at least 5 sub-parallel veins or vein zones ranging in width from 0.2 to 2 meters have been identified by A.C.A. Howe.
STRONG INDICATIONS OF WORLD-CLASS Au-Cu BRECCIA PIPE ON CDCH PROPERTY
At the very south end of CDCH's Fortuna property, a low bowl-shaped area (measuring about 250 by 250 meters) has been identified. Although no outcrop has been found, the area has a similar surface expression as Medinah Mining's newly discovered Alto de Lipangue copper-gold breccia pipe, located about 1.75 km to the southwest. Drilling at Medinah's Lipangue breccia has returned impressive results. The discovery hole (L99-03) intercepted 84 meters averaging 1.72 g/t Au, 10.07 g/t Ag and 0.40% Cu. Two step-out drillholes (L99-06 & L99-07) returned intercepts of 154 meters grading 0.60 g/t Au, 13.7 g/t Ag and 0.39% Cu & 124 meters averaging 0.49 g/t Au, 9.68 g/t Ag and 0.31% Cu, respectively. There are reports that geophysical surveys now underway on the adjoining property have traced the Lipangue breccia to a depth of over 1,000 meters. More importantly, the surveys apparently have discovered two other sizeable breccia pipes on the Alto de Lipangue plateau - one of which, we believe, is situated on the southern part of Cerro Dorado's Fortuna property! Robert Cintis, the author of the A.C.A. Howe report, observed in his report (p. 50) that "often breccia deposits will occur in clusters and it would not be unrealistic for additional pipes to occur on the Lipangue plateau." More importantly, breccia pipes are often indicative of a major intrusive or porphyry system at depth. The distance between Medinah Mining's Lipangue breccia and the apparent breccia pipe on Cerro Dorado's property suggests that a massive Au-Cu porphyry deposit with world-class tonnage potential may underlie the Lipangue plateau!
A.C.A. HOWE INT'L REPORT SUBSTANTIATES POTENTIAL OF CDCH PROPERTY
Howe Chile Ltda. ("Howe"), part of the A.C.A. Howe International group of companies, recently issued a geologic report on Cerro Dorado's property. The report's conclusions and recommendations (pg. 55) were:
(1) "The Fortuna vein....can be traced at least 800 meters along strike, widening to the south, and based on the previous underground sampling programs, shows a remarkable continuity in gold values over its 300 meter strike length and 100-meter down-dip extension in the mine."
(2) "...the Fortuna Property could host a significant gold resource, that it is open to both the south and at depth and that with a minimal exploration program the potential size of the deposit can be substantially increased. Other parts of the land position have only been reviewed on a preliminary basis, or not at all, and should be further explored, since the potential exists for additional Fortuna-style veins. Other early-stage targets occur on the property, such as the possible breccia target in the south that should be further explored. Howe concurs with these target objectives."
(3) "The Fortuna Property area should be evaluated for small tonnage, high grade, vein-style gold mineralization and large bulk-tonnage mineable copper-gold breccia style mineralization..."
:k MORE FOUND;
A new breccia occurrence has been mapped and sampled between the 1,300 to 1,700-meter elevations. Salt Lake City, Utah – March 14, 2006 . . . Management of Cerro Dorado, Inc. is pleased to report encouraging results from the recently completed examination on the company’s Lobo Solitario property, Region 5 Chile. The recent 14-day field program was designed to follow-up and budget a new Phase I, 2006 exploration program. This follow-up program was recommended in the A.C.A. Howe report by Robert Cinits P.Geo., in 1999. The addition of new claims to the north, east and south of the original property has changed the proposed exploration program due to a better regional geological understanding of the property including the new breccia. The new breccia is now considered to be similar to the main Gordon breccia that Medinah drilled from 1998 to 2001 on the adjacent property, about 3 kilometers to the southwest. The addition of the new ground substantially expands the present land holdings and was added to fit with a porphyry-style geological model.”
:L My main reasons for Investing in CDCH:
(1) Tight Share Structure - we estimate that there are about 135 million unrestricted shares of CDCH, of which most IMO are in "friendly hands". It should also be noted, there are only 128 current registered share owners.
(2) Major News of JV Expected Shortly –There is clear proof the major/s wants both properties and both are attached at the hip. Due to more recent finds they wanted to increase the size of their claims and they have. From news release from CDCH: “Recent discoveries include finding of a major mineralized breccia pipe. This discovery could pale in size to the suspected gold/copper porphyry located at depth. These discoveries have recently prompted Cerro Dorado, Inc. to more then double the size of our claim blocks. A joint venture agreement, with a consortium of major mining companies or a major, may be concluded shortly. Cerro Dorado, Inc. will update as needed. Major mining companies have been doing work of their own on the property as of October of last year. Recent satellite photos show that their work is indeed extensive: http://cerrodorado.com/projects/”
From the Medinah newsletter dated March 14th 2006 2nd to bottom paragraph “The addition of the new claims more than doubles the present Medinah land holdings and expands the exploration play for Medinah Minerals, Inc., and adjacent Cerro Dorado Inc.’s company projects. This regional package, with its numerous mapped and drilled mineral targets, would now fit a porphyry-style geological model”.
From Cerro Dorado Web site: “"In addition, we want to inform you that Mr. Bruce Turner has been working on behalf of Cerro Dorado shareholders. Mr. Turner is taking on a very prominent role in assisting the company to continue to move forward with funding matters, contractual negotiations, finalization of infrastructure issues, and joint venturing implementations relative to the Lobo Solitario property."
Bruce Turner has been involved with finding a Joint Venture partner on behalf of both CDCH and MDMN. Here is a little about him.
Bruce Turner’s background is replete with accolades as to his education and expertise in all aspects of mining, with emphasis in the country of Chile. He graduated with an Engineering Degree from the University of British Columbia in 1974. He then matriculated in advanced studies at Harvard University. Bruce Turner began his Mining Engineer career with BHP-Billiton in 1976, holding various positions with BHP including the Presidency of BHP’s Hidden Miner project in Chile’s Atacama Desert. This project, the Minera Escondida Limitada mine, is one of the largest copper producers in the world. In June 2004, Mr. Turner was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Technology Degree (D. Technology-Hon), from the British Columbia Institute of Technology for his outstanding vision and commitment to the development of mining trades and technical training of Chilean mining workers. Mr. Turner is an exemplary individual who is well known and respected throughout the Mining community of companies.
Dated Aug. 9th, 2006
“The results of the recently completed work have indicated that an area of the southern part of the claims is an excellent target for further exploration work. Mapping has shown this area to be covered with a large number of quartz and molybdenum structures. Local sampling of this quartz has shown it to contain up to 6-to10 g/t gold. The IP/Resistivity survey over this area has shown a strong, widespread zone of high resistivity (interpreted as silicification) and a co incident high polarization (interpreted as the presence of sulphides). This area constitutes an impressive target zone given the presence of strong gold and base metal mineralization at the Fortuna Mine and Gordon Breccia. The new Cerro Dorado, Inc. Breccia to the north and the Lipangue Breccia, the Dos Marias Property, and the past producing molybdenum properties (acquired in late 2005 by Medinah) requires more detailed geophysics surveys included in the new budget. The results of the CSAMT survey, however, have located discrete zones of apparent resistivity that are interpreted as being zones of silicification, possibly gold mineralized. These represent secondary targets of possible high-grade gold mineralization, some of which will be tested as part of the program to investigate the area to the south covered by the IP/Resistivity grid. Cerro Dorado, Inc. will survey, detail map and sample the new Breccia to establish strike, dip and plunge of the structure in order to place future drill holes for reserve calculations. Significant values were obtained from the new zones approaching 3% copper with molly and gold values. The Board of Directors of Cerro Dorado has had written communications from Juan Jose Quijano as of July 14, 2006. The letter established that negotiations with several major mining companies in Chile are progressing in a positive manner. Meetings are still ongoing as of this date, with a goal of concluding a working joint venture”.
Also consider this… if you were a major, before JV with some minor companies like CDCH and MDMN you would look at the geo reports and results done under chain of custody. However, you would also do your own DD and take your own samples, have them analyzed. If the property was worth something you would negotiate a joint venture or buyout. The majors found what they wanted or they would have walked away long ago instead they have been building new roads.
(4) A.C.A. Howe Report Verifies Property Potential - Cerro Dorado's Fortuna property received a resounding "thumbs-up" from A.C.A. Howe, a prestigious international mining consulting firm. This very bullish report provides significant credibility and verifies the world-class potential of the Fortuna project.
(5) Large Breccia Pipe Reportedly Identified on Cerro Dorado's Property - geophysical surveys have reportedly verified the existence of a large breccia pipe on the southern edge of the Fortuna project that had been previously identified by A.C.A. Howe. The surface dimensions of the breccia are approximately 250 meters by 250 meters; no word on how deep the Cerro Dorado breccia extends but the Lipangue breccia, less than 2 km away, has reportedly been traced to 1,000+ meters.
(6) Potential for Multi-Billion Ton Porphyry Deposit at Depth - an added bonus for CDCH is that Medinah Mining's Lipangue breccia is trending towards Cerro's property and that a new breccia zone appears to be present on CDCH's property. The alteration patters found and confirmed at Lipangue are also apparent on Cerro Dorado's property. Geologists theorize that the parent intrusive to the CDCH and MDHM breccia pipes that run SW to NE across the Lipangue plateau (towards and onto Cerro Dorado's ground) may underlie the entire mountain at depth - leading to the possibility of a very large bulk tonnage gold-copper porphyry deposit.
(7) Very favorable mining laws for foreign investors in Chile:
(8) ****NEW: CDCH has acquired from JJ an additional 900 hectors for 26.5 million shares which is connected to current CDCH claims.
(9) Smithson a geologist and engineer who spoke at the AGM (listen to his report by using the above link) has investigated all properties spoken of above including the new CDCH additons. His small group owns 20 million shares of CDCH with he owning the majority of that.
(10) JJ called CDCH his “Crown Jewel”
I hope this helps. I have shares in both MDMN and CDCH. I believe CDCH is the better play. Like everyone I am human and make mistakes so do your own DD. This is done to the best of my knowledge. Good luck to everyone!
