RESPONSE TO SHAREHOLDERS
Q&A WEBSITE
September 28, 2007
We continue this week with answering the most commonly
asked questions, in no particular order.
Q) “I don't pretend to know much about JV.s, mergers,
and acquitions, but I read a newsletter from one who is
extremely knowledgeable as is concerning precious metals
and owns a metals co. himself. You may already be aware
of the following information, If not, may I humbly suggest
you consider it and run it by an attorney before any final
agreements are settled.”
A) The information you provided is “right on the
mark” and demonstrates some of the important issues
that must be addressed in any junior/major negotiations.
We employ senior legal counsel to discuss and review all
proposed contracts and, of course, Juan José Quijano
(Company President) is an expert in Chilean mining law
and all aspects of contracts.
I have taken the liberty of posting a very pertinent section
of your submission in regards to the economic value of
a net smelter royalty that should be of real interest to
our shareholders.
”If you do the math the junior will, to their amazement,
find out that a 3% net smelter royalty will earn more than
a 30% joint interest. On a standard royalty agreement,
payment to the junior would start from the inception of
or full production, depending on their deal. Add to that
the junior in a royalty agreement could/should receive
pre-royalty payments and schedule repayments of expenses.
These repayments represent recoveries prior to positive
bankable feasibility and are accounted for as such.”
Q) “Without violating the NDA, how confident are
you that the JV agreement will be concluded this year?“
A) Very confident.
Q) “why is there a link on the main page for the
transfer agent all of a sudden? IS this something we need
to take notice of?
A) As a company, Medinah regularly receives requests from
shareholders concerning the services and fees provided
by the transfer agent. The American Registrar and Transfer
Co. website provides direct answers to most of the common
questions shareholders require to handle their specific
requests, particularly to such common items as lost share
certificate replacement, registration etc.
