Not very smart to maintain George Barnett's name to this property that BGL is touting as a potential winner. Somebody should wise up a tad...do they want to scare away all their investors?
Research and Scouting
Early in 2004, Bandera Gold researched developments and completed assessments on ten properties of interest in Antioquia, Colombia. Contact was made with George Barnett of Tucson, AZ. The holding company he represents, Minera San Jorge S.A. in Mexico (MSJ) and its affiliates Cielo Abierto S.A. & Geosermin S.A. in Colombia, controls mineral rights for base and precious metal properties which have been acquired and advanced over the last 30 years.
August 2004 saw representatives of Bandera Gold (including consulting geologist, Duncan Bain of London,ON) complete assessments in Antioquia. Research included review of public domain sources of information, geological maps and reports, USGS geological reports, news releases by Greystar Resources Ltd (an exploration pioneer in Colombia) and rock sample collection to adjudicate gold value claims reported by others in previous expeditions.
Research revealed that the Belmira property was highly mineralized and provided an exceptional opportunity for capitalization in Colombia.
