"Tremendous amounts of money in the infrastructure"?
According to ..... who?
So far, Kinsey took some idle equipment and a few operators, crudely graded a mud road and parking area for the equipment, scratched the vegetation off the front of an old cut to make it look fresh and took a few pictures of the process. Hardly a "tremendous" investment. { 8^D
The "partnership" with Kinsey is being paid for by shareholders in the form of further dilution, possibly a huge dilution. Twenty-five percent of Kinsey isn't worth the $5 million the company is paying for it.
Baker Hughes has not invested anything in MBMI. They either get some cheap barite or they don't. They are out nothing when MBMI fails to deliver.
Pretty much the same thing with Steinbock and Yasheya. Contrary to the assumptions about Steinbock, according to industry sources Steinbock is a broker, not a miner. They have been mining in Liberia for less than a year and are losing their butts. Their mine is for sale and it's safe to assume their they'd like someone to purchase their "custom jigging equipment" also. Yasheya is merely a bulk materials shipper.
Like BHI, neither Steinbock nor Yasheya have any investment in MBMI.
Phi has idle rolling stock they are eager to put to use. Idle cars make no money. They too have no investment in MBMI.
Looking at the facts shows this company is just lot of hype and little substance, a lot of empty promises and no follow through.
