sherpa Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 great summation....sounds like a very interesting prospect. thanks. It really is a fantastic project. I've been involved for nearly five years, building up a significant equity position all along the way. Important to note that this is a US company, and run by British/Canadian and US mining and minerals phd's, not market pump and dump types. During my first conversation with Kurtanjek over lunch in Santiago, I was literally doing mine metrics on the back of a napkin and I averred that I didn't see a way that they wouldn't get taken out before production by any number of large mine concerns, Rio Tinto most specifically. He has always known that was a possibility, but at a very significant premium. Now, I'm convinced they can maximize project value by taking it to production unless a just can't refuse offer comes. I believe they are taking longer than planned getting to bankable feasibility because the prospect of using the Fray electrolysis to provide titanium sponge/powder would dramatically impact final mine buildout, and obviously, project metrics. Again, I do know for certain there are many, many people willing to fund the build at very shareholder favorable rates. Its been fun to follow and fun to be involved in private placements. I'll see in a year or two how much it nets. If anyone looks at a cnbc website quote they can link to institutional owners ownership and they will see a 5.6 million block owned by Marathon Capital in Baltimore. Jim Kennedy runs the shop and he is a huge fan and I talk to him regularly as well to make sure we don't miss anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booster4324 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 This looks like it was about to fall in the archive. I currently have 26 shares of APPL and 10.17 in cash. That adds up a total of $12,403.85~24% ROI. Seems like someone was doing better. Update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
