Okay, if you have seen mining scams before, have you seen any of them claim to have relationships with big, reputable companies? Quote them in PR's? Big talk about contracts and partnerships?
I have, many times.
For a small vein deposit with the most recent drill data being from the early 1960's, this has scam written all over it. A legit company would be in there drilling the crap out of it (before moving the earth movers in), and releasing the data for investors to review. It takes a lot of money to develop a "world class deposit", and real investors would never touch something with a few drill holes from the 1960's.
And given the constant posting by company management and insiders on more than stock chat board, it sure gives the impression of a sleazy mining scam.
