It's all a big friggin lie. You are being scammed.
There is zero chance of PBM getting a certificate in the next couple years. Zero. No matter what dealings John says are going on with the FN. Zero. Even if the FNs were the issue with the last EA decision, which they weren't. But even if they were, zero.
The ministers can only rule on an EA forwarded by the deputy minister from the EAO. Pacific Booker no longer has an active Environmental Assessment. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. The FN could endorse whatever ficticious offer John has sent to them 100x over. It won't matter until Pacific Booker goes through the EA process again, from scratch. Starting with a scope statement, including terms of reference, an alternative mine design, economic assessment, public consultation, discussion with the EAO, etc and finally a decision by the Ministers. All of which takes years.
Of course John is going to tell you that you could get the certificate in the next little while. He's been doing that for the last 10 years. Can't you see the pattern ? Go back and count how many times you called into the office and John told you that the government was going to award PBM the certificate. When an election was upcoming. When ministers were being investigated. When a mining conference was being held. When PBM was threatening court action. And whenever else John wanted you to believe that the certificate was going to be awarded.
90% of the times that John told people the certificate was going to be awarded, the Ministers didn't even have the EA file. The only time the Ministers look at the file is when it is forwarded by the deputy minister from the EAO for a decision. That only happened 3x in the last 10 years. And right now Morrison doesn't even have an Environmental Application to look at !
Everything that has happened since the original refusal has been a sham. Pacific Booker never got one inch closer to obtaining a certificate, regardless of what John says. Everything that was done - the court case, arguing with the EAO and ministries, the "press releases" - didn't move the needle one iota. All it did was kill 10 years and a bunch of money.
After the first refusal, the Ministers laid out exactly what they wanted PBM to do in a court order. Pacific Booker didn't do anything that was asked of it. Not a single thing. Not once did it submit an acceptable SAIR, something that even a junior mining engineer could have easily done.
Meanwhile John and big investors trade shares and consolidate their positions. Maybe not in their own accounts, but in related accounts that they have control off. The stock goes up, they sell. The stock goes down, they buy. After all, they know when the stock will go up and down. John isn't stupid. He isn't doing this for the salary.
So once again he says PBM could get the certificate any week now. It's a lie. It's a bald face lie. Without an ounce of truth. Designed the drive the stock higher, to $3 or $4/share. So they can sell, again. And then tell you there has been a setback, which will cause the stock to fall to less than a dollar. Where they will buy again.
It takes 2 people to make a lie work. One to tell it and another to believe it.
Pacific Booker is the laughing stock of the BC mining community. As well as the laughing stock of the TSE mining sector. Same "CEO" for 10 years after zero progress ? You must be joking, right ?
Plans to build a billion dollar mine ? With Ruth and Erik ? Are you kididng me ? Do you think Ruth and Erik would be on Murry Edward's list of top mining executives to run a mine ? What about Kent Zehr? How about John's nephew, who sits on the board ?
It's all a big friggin lie.
