It would be important to read the entire posting at #3702. There was a correction made to the reason for the 50% sell-off. "Setting The Record Straight" once more : Redemptions were the primary factor, and they took advantage of the high volume.
The company has indeed been derisked Ed -- the pilot plant process is as good as was anticipated and better. There will be a patent on this process. AMY will be a green company and will not have expensive drilling.
I invite you to consider that China and Europe are rattling our cage almost daily and I doubt that there is a trader in N. America who is having it easy now, or feels relaxed about world events. This is the trickiest time I have ever seen on the market for reasons that have nothing to do with AMY.
It is with much travel, conferences and speaking engagements that AMY is " getting the word out there " about Manganese in general. People know what gold is, what silver is, what copper is. Almost no one knows what Manganese is, let alone EMM and EMD. It is a tough go to educate the world about MN and stir up interest in the mineral. I have done my part and can accurately say that no one I have talked to about Mn knew what it was used for, nor that we produce not an ounce. It is only with continual talks and education about Mn that AMY can potentially open the public's eyes to how serious a nature it is that we produce none in N.America -- and then to let them know the details about how this can all change so that we become a world class producer.
For all those who balk at the fact that Mr. Reaugh is speaking at many places -- would you prefer that he said nothing and did not get the word out there ? -- it is better to NOT tell anyone about the project ??? Really, logic needs to apply big time.
I would encourage all the nay-sayers who are owners of AMY stock, to take half their usual time that they use to do postings, and instead HELP OUT. No one made you buy the stock .
Thank you so much to all others who post informatively. It is greatly appreciated and I have often been amazed at the indepth analysis and speed with which information has been put out.
