If what you post is true, why not show a picture of this so called mining equipment in "production" as they claim instead of a picture of a couple of guys standing around some old equipment not in operation.
Also, if you don't have to drive up the river as you say, please post a Map quest or Google Earth address that shows a road to the mine.
Here is one I posted earlier (Post # 20957) showing theHassayampa river at the confluence of fool's canyon about 12 miles north of Wickenburg, Az.
Click on “Aerial Image”, then zoom in. The only road I can find is up the Hassayampa River. You can see some old remains of buildings, probably from the folks who mined the area many years ago. What a great looking mine!

Let us look at Anthony Mellon's Resume/Bio line by line…
"Mr. Mellone is the founder of Global TV Networks, the "MILLENNIUM ENTERTAINMENT Group, and "Third Coast Teleproductions."
FALSE
Global TV Inc Started in Nevada on 1/23/2002 and ended on 2/1/2005.. Anthony Mellone was the secretary not the CEO or President. Carlos Pichardo was the founder- not Anthony Mellone.
After its initial inception by Founder Carlos Pichardo in 2002, Anthony Mellone made Global TV Inc a Florida Corporation with himself as the CEO from 01/08/2004 - 09/14/2007
"He has been the driving force in the company for the development of a breakthrough design for the worldwide delivery of high-speed Internet services and video on demand. "
FALSE
Tri-Star is not pursuing anything to do with high-speed Internet or video on demand. So … Tri-Star is his own company… so he can pursue what he wants… "Driving Force"… I don't think so.
Also, Anthony Mellone has been saying for the past 4-5 years that he is doing something in the area of high-speed data transfers - Has never produced anything remotely successful in this area…. i.e - a total failure.
"Over the past few years Mr. Mellone, Jr., has designed and implemented the engineering of the revolutionary RF Video Magic video card that will permit the transmission of DVD quality video entertainment to private residences and business locations."
FALSE
In January 8 2004 A Anthony Mellone PR said…."The patent pending and ownership rights of GLOBAL's RF Video Magic Card (the heart of the technology), were acquired by the company, from its inventor and the founder of GLOBAL Anthony Mellone, Jr., for an undisclosed amount of shares of the company."
- What ever happened to the "RF Magic Card' - NOTHING
- Google "RF Magic Card" - Nothing but Anthony Mellone's paid Press Releases
- Was there ever a "RF Magic Card"? ….. What do you think.
"Mr. Mellone is an accomplished inventor, starting at a very young age by designing and developing the Hydro Ski Disc, the Hydro Skimmer, and his own wet suit line for the water ski industry."
FALSE
- Patent Search for Mellone or Hydro Ski Disc, or Hydro Skimmer turns up NOTHING.
- What ever happened to the Hydro Ski Disc or the Hydro Skimmer - NOTHING
- Google "Hydro Ski Disc" or "Hydro Skimmer" - Nothing but Anthony Mellone's paid Press Releases
- Was there ever a "Hydro Ski Disc" or "Hydro Skimmer"? ….. What do you think?
"his own wet suit line for the water ski industry"….. Really… wet suit line?.. How many were produced & sold? NADA or pretty close to it is my guess.
"It is his entrepreneurial spirit and feel for deal making that enables him to operate in a multitude of industries and to coordinate human resources to drive shareholder value."
FALSE
Now this is just plain FUNNY! This guy has never made any business into anything remotely successful. (Can anyone site one of Mellone's previous businesses that is going strong & generating money? - I don't think so.)
"drive shareholder value" - Begs the question "up or down?".
In addition to experience in the entertainment, technology, medical & fitness and metals industries, Mr. Mellone also has more than 20 years of experience in the entertainment industry.
FALSE
(First of all this sentence doesn't even make sense - "In addition to experience in the entertainment, …industries, Mr. Mellone also has…experience in the entertainment industry. "- WHAT? I'm not going to say Anthony Mellone sounds like an idiot…. because I don't have to..)
He says "..my stage name in the TV Industry for Acting - Stunts over the last 35 years. "
…We just went from 20 years to 35 years of experience--Outstanding!
"medical & fitness and metals industries" When/where does it talk about that experience?..... oh it doesn't…. Because Anthony Mellone doesn't have any experience in the medical & metals industries. (In one of the plethora of press releases Mellone states that he is "new" to the area of mining.)
"He has numerous key contacts in the film industry and has been involved in various film productions including "Scar Face", "Lethal Weapons III", "Dukes of Hazards", Magnum PI, "Terminator 1 & 2" and "The Thornbirds."
FALSE
(First of all you would think if Anthony Mellone was "involved in "The Thornbirds" he would at least know how to spell it ("The Thorn Birds").
According to "Internet Movie Database" Anthony Mellone was NOT part of the cast & crew for ANY of the films he cited.
(Names/Stunt Names/Stage Names: Anthony Mellone,Antonio F. Mellone, Tony Mellone, Anthony Ferrante , Tony Ferrante, TK Anthony, and all variants)
You won't find Anthony Mellone (under any a.k.a.) in any of the following films.
WOW!!! Is He Right…. Judge for YOURSELF…..Looks Deceiving….. I personally think he is an idiot….
I assure everyone, I am not a mobster, nor have I ever been affiliated with the mob or organized crime.
AKA'S Posted
Antonio F. Mellone is my Legal Name - Im Italian it means Tony - Anthony or Antonio
Ferrante is my mothers maiden Name: I use it as my stage name in the TV Industry for Acting - Stunts over the last 35 years.
Stunt Stage Names
Anthony Ferrante - Tony Ferrante - TK Anthony - and others depending on states or shows. Union or non union films. We all in the industry have several stage names.
As for Tony Malone-Anthony D. Mellone- Tony Maloney- Antonio Anthony Ferrante are people that have miss spelled my name I never used them.
Tri-Star's CEO Anthony Mellone - OWES THE IRS & OTHERS
This is a house I bought from a guy for 850 K that change the deal to a million when the market rocketed. He wanted more money for the house. I beat him in court 4 times and the market crashed before we closed and I walked away. While I was in the virgin Island he got a judgment against me, I am filing a counter action to clear it up…
This yahoo bought this shell when it was global web tv and changed it to QOLF - Quality of Life and did not pay us for it so we never closed and we took it back and put Amore TV in it. He did not return his stock to us so the company did not pay him and he put a judgment on me…..LOL so what…
Federal Tax Liens (for one of Anthony Mellon's companies: Global Wifi Plus Co.)
I sold Triad and the purchasing company never filed the Annual reports so they anticipated these figures and put them up for payment, since we took the company back we are in touch with the IRS and filing the correct statements and they will be off the site and taken care of. Two of them were subsidiaries and one of them never have had any employees working in it.
Marckensie Theresias is 59, the one in the report on that site is a family member with the same name. as for all his companies …. So what. People try new thing all the time as I have also… that is a real entrepreneur.
The Lucky Linda Gold Mine and Reomt, LLC was acquired by Anthony Mellone (ceo of Rapid Fitness - became Tri-Star) in August 2008.
This was a $107 million transaction. (really?... $107,000,000… paid for with?)
We paid 27 million in 144 restricted stock and assumed the dept of 80 million to be paid out of the revenues generated in the gold recovery at 20% of net, totaling 107. gee it works. Do the math u nut.
The Lucky Linda No. 1 gold mine is owned by:
AMR MANAGEMENT LLC - ( a Florida LLC, owned by Barney Killinger)
EVANS LOIS - ( FROM LAKE CHARLES LA)
EVANS OCIE - (FROM LAKE CHARLES LA)
SPOONER BRANDON - (FROM LAKE CHARLES LA)
SPOONER CANDACE - (FROM LAKE CHARLES LA)
SPOONER JANETTE - (FROM LAKE CHARLES LA)
SPOONER JASON - (FROM LAKE CHARLES LA)
SPOONER LISA - (FROM LAKE CHARLES LA)
As a miner with claims you can only hold several in your name or you have to pay taxes on all of them, as a father he supported his family by claiming mines for them.
Scott Spooner wife is Linda…
Scott Spooner Tri-Star's Chief Geologist: informed the company prior to us dealing with him about the litigations; he sold the mine to the listing company and out of 125 allegations there is only one left, he won the rest so far. He had nothing to do with the company as an officer.
Another Anthony Mellone Company…Miracle Applications Corp
Bull shit I have nothing to do with it or have… we sold triad to the owner.
If anyone has any Questions call me… I'm not perfect but I'm not a crook.
And for all you slandering me and trying to hurt our shareholders, go f--k yourself… we are real and I'll prove you wrong… If anyone has a real problem step into my office and say it to my face. Quit hurting my shareholders you don't know.
SO… Let's See What Anthony Mellone is Saying…
Anthony Mellone: "I assure everyone, I am not a mobster, nor have I ever been affiliated with the mob or organized crime."
Anthony Mellone: "I am not a mobster"
The referenced websites never said he was a mobster. Strange that he brings it up?
Concerning Anthony Mellone's aliases - He basically confirms that he has a number of aliases.
Concerning "Tri-Star's CEO Anthony Mellone - OWES THE IRS & OTHERS"
Anthony Mellone: "Yahoo…… who does'nt (sic)"
So - he confirms it.
(BTW. To answer your question.. Who doesn't have IRS and other Liens against them….umm - I don't.)
Concerning Marckensie Theresias
The referenced website got his age wrong - that's it?
No rebuttal to the referenced to the judgment liens against Marckensie Theresias - so I guess they are true?
Concerning the "The Lucky Linda Gold Mine and Reomt, LLC"
Anthony Mellone confirmed the $107 million price that was in the referenced website.
Anthony Mellone: "We paid 27 million in 144 restricted stock and assumed the dept of 80 million to be paid out of the revenues generated in the gold recovery at 20% of net, totaling 107. gee it works. Do the math u nut."
So..
$80 million debt - that's a lot of debt for a company with a (best case) market capitalization of $1.19 million. (1.7 billion shares x $0.0007)
$27 million of stock? The entire 1.7 billion shares are only worth $1.19 million. Obviously a higher stock price was used for this transaction. (strange?)
Concerning the Spooners owning the Lucky Linda gold mine.
Anthony Mellone Confirmed it. (Saying it was a way of the Spooner to get around paying taxes.)
"As a miner with claims you can only hold several in your name or you have to pay taxes on all of them, as a father he supported his family by claiming mines for them."
As for Scott Spooner (Tri-Star's Chief Geologist) litigations - Anthony Mellone Confirmed it.
Anthony Mellone: "informed the company prior to us dealing with him about the litigations" & "… out of 125 allegations there is only one left"
Only 125 charges?.... Must be a good man!
Concerning the referenced website statement "Another Anthony Mellone Company…Miracle Applications Corp"
Anthony Mellone said: "Bull shit I have nothing to do with it or have… we sold triad to the owner.
Well Anthony Mellone DID have something to do it…. Google: +"Miracle Applications" +Mellone +"FORM 3"
So its just that Marckensie Theresias is 59 years old and not 33.
Got it! Thanks for clearing that up Anthony Mellone.
Wickenburg Gold Mine… Background
"Tri-Star…acquiring eighty percent of the mineral rights to the Wickenburg gold placer mining claim owned by Rusty Murphy, a 25-acre placer property located on the Hassayampa River at the confluence of Fool's Canyon about 12 miles north of Wickenburg, AZ..
So Tri-Star has the Blue Jay (No 12, 13, 14) mines
According to the BLM:
Claim Name/Number Serial No Claimant MER TWN RANGE SEC Subdv CTY LOC DATE Case Closed
BLUE JAY NO. 12 IMC190616 SPOONER LINDA 08 0150N 0240E 023 SW SE ID059 10/15/2006
BLUE JAY NO. 13 IMC190617 SPOONER LINDA 08 0150N 0240E 023 SE ID059 10/15/2006
BLUE JAY NO. 13 IMC190617 SPOONER LINDA 08 0150N 0240E 026 NE ID059 10/15/2006
BLUE JAY NO. 14 IMC190618 SPOONER LINDA 08 0150N 0240E 026 NE ID059 10/15/2006
BLUE JAY NO. 14 IMC190618 SPOONER LINDA 08 0150N 0240E 025 NW ID059 10/15/2006
Wait … isn't… Scott Spooner Tri-Star's Chief Geologist….. Ummm… a Linda Spooner…..
So… Anthony Mellone pulled out 1.4 grams of gold from the Wickenburg gold mine.
- 1.4 grams = 0.049 ounces
- Gold is $800/ounce
- 0.049 x $800 = $39.51
AMOUNT OF GOLD FOUND AT WICKENBURG GOLD MINE = $39.51 !
Way to go Tony!!!!
What will Anthony Mellone Do.
First Anthony Mellone will blame someone else for any/all problems with his new Tri-Star company. (Like his done with all his other companies…"It's not my fault"'
(He will blame.. me, BLM, equipment problems, lack of capital, yad..yada…yada..)
Anthony Mellone will say that posts/websites like this are hurting his company. (PLEASE your past is hurting your company… We are just shining a light on your past for all to see.)
Anthony Mellone resign as the CEO of Tri-Star. He will put some puppet (that he controls) as CEO. Anthony Mellone will still run Tri-Star but only from the background - because of his bad name and tarnished image.
Tri-Star will be a failure as a Gold mining company & will find something new to lure investors…. That to will fail.
Tri-Star will change its name or morph into some other entity in order to hide its sordid past.
Anthony Mellone will try to start up other companies - but his distasteful past will always come to the surface and hurt his company.
Anthony Mellone will step out of the spotlight (no more PRs with "Anthony Mellone" in them.) and run his companies/affairs from the background.
Why do we post the truth about Tri-Star holdings
Why do we post the truth about Tri-Star holdings, CEO Anthony Mellone?
Because what he is doing is wrong. It boarders on criminal. He has been pulling this same P.o.n.z.i. Scheme since 2/29/2000.
I don't feel that people's hard earned money (not even one dollar) should be swindled away from them by crooks. Especially crooks who work under the guise of a hard working company.
Anthony Mellone (and THSL) just makes it harder for true entrepreneurs to get the capital they need to make a small business successful. *Anthony *Mellone hurts you, me, and the small business man.
Why did I start coming down so hard on Anthony Mellone and TSHL? Well, I have been investing in stocks for many years now. I periodically check the yahoo finance newsgroups for my select stocks. Our stock's newsgroup was inundated from people pushing us to buy tshl. I told them to go away and they responded with insults.
So .. I took up the torch and posted what I found out about this crooked company Tri-Star, and its useless leader - Anthony Mellone.
" In two days we have had 30 members sign up and we estimate hundreds over the next few weeks."
Directors Anthony Mellone and Donna Yamin both comment, "We were excited about shooting the two parties; this shows we are not only shooting adult videos but have the ability and professional experience to handle main stream events." Donna also added: "This also generated our first revenue in the productions division and we are gearing up to start full production as hired production crews."
Director Donna Yamin comments, "We were pleased about the two new companies, the ability to edit and complete the video line we are negotiating save Amore TV, Inc. production cost and expenses and can generate approximately $80,000.00 a month in revenues which will increase our revenue structure the first year to a positive cash flow."
