The Hoffmans couldn't even get his name right (nor did JJ even try to correct it)...

Of course he didn't. He was using the Spanish honorific. Good old Don Juan.

Regardless, the claim of JJ owning 300 mines is not implausible given his vast mining property ownership.

I kind of think it is. After all, they only count if their operating mines. Properties with a hole in the ground don't count.

Obviously all this is what JJ told Discovery about himself. I find that kind of disingenuous self-promotion distasteful.

I too agree with that logic as to the $180 million figure, Rick.

Regardless, the claim of JJ owning 300 mines is not implausible given his vast mining property ownership. Whether any of the 300 mines are of any financial significance (aside from ADL and LDM) is a different topic.

Regrettably, this one is a bit tougher for me, with all due respect. A few hundred mineral interests certainly do not correspond to actual mines. It is fact, most implausible, given the vigorous and energetic DD and discussion we've encouraged for the last 10+ years that "Don" Juan has 300 (or 200, or 100, or 50, or ten for that matter) operating mines, and we somehow have missed these. No doubt, we've been often sidetracked with discourse involving Shorty, Les, Polo, Bogdan, Sumitomo, "dividends", Partners A through whatever, but I'd think if JJ is such the miner in a country as small as Chile we'd know about it.

My DVR is set to record a repeat tomorrow. I'd by less than honest if I didn't admit I'm a bit worried about what I'll see.

Regardless, I found the show to be over-theatrical and slipshod, but what else would you expect from North American "reality" shows and the Hoffman crew.

Well, on the sunny side of things, over-theatrical and slipshod seem right up our alley, now doesn't it? ;-)

Some people were so exited and had so great expectations about this show
that they did not stop talking about it for months.
Now, after the show aired no one is saying a word , but you obviously.
At least you have the gut to try to limit the damage that this idiotic show will have on MDMN
because it will have a negative outcome on the stock price.
The show did not do any good to MDMN, I believe everybody agrees on that, since there is no discussions about it anywere else.
Running and hiding under a rock?

If the $180 million number was in fact a reference to the Amarant deal that was lost in translation, then it is reasonable to assume that in 37 years of mining, JJ hasn't pulled a dime out of the ground. I guess it's par for the course, in 24 years of "mining", MDMN hasn't pulled a dime out either. If he had made any money in his 37 years of mining, I'm sure the $180 million number would have been much higher. It also points out that JJ was willing to use a yet unconsummated deal with a shady partner as a way to prove to the Discovery Channel that he was a "player" in the Chilean mining industry. I find that disingenuous at best and outright fraud at worst.
