these posts are wildWell, I see I missed a lot while I was gone. But thank god miner kept the waters to a safe level. At the end of the day, Cline, with 315 million or so tons is worth a minimum 157 million. Now why do I say that, well, the Chinese and the Indians are in the USA right now buying met coal reserves in the ground that are proven and paying $ 0.50 t0 $ 1.00 per ton. Just the reserves, not a actual mining operation I know this because I am in a new mine and we were turned down because we did not have enough reserves to warrant their attention Thats okay. We will produce what we have and enjoy the money.No one seems to understand that just till three years ago China was a exporter of met coal. Well guess what, they are now an importer and will continue to be so.I spent one month in China in july working with coal companies there. I can assure you of one thing, if Cline is not being looked at it is only because they are under the radar screen.There is no deposit like this left in the USA much less N. America.Cheap mining, tall seams, cheap labor and easy transportation to Asia from either Texas, Mexico, California or even Louisiana.I read a few of the posts from the gentleman that claimed he was a underground miner. Maybe he was, but, his questions are so ridiculous they could only be answered by someone dreaming up everything negative they can think of.Trinidad Colorado was and will be a mining town. Many of the miners left the area when the mines closed. Now, the miners can come back to the area and be employed. I know this because many of them ended up in the east working at the mines in my area. They cannot wait to get back.Housing? there are so many available houses in Trinidad that you can throw a rock and hit a empty one.Employees? There have been a minimum of 40 men on site for almost 9 months. Now the expert said, what are they doing? Well, how about refacing the coal seam, fixing the pumps, ventilation, new coal conveying system, rebuilding the wash plant, haulage system, assembling new equipment into the mine etc.....Now I can only say this because I actually got off my rear end and went to Trinidad and looked. Yes, I have been there over 10 times in the last 2 years. Not only to look at this property but to look at other mines south of there hoping to buy one. There is a big difference from working underground to owning a mine. I have had the pleasure of doing both. So, to all longs, you will make money. To all bashers, you will wish you had.Just state the facts when you post and not what you dream up in a bar or worse at home.It is a brave new world outside of the USA in the energy field and Cline will be a major player.I am curious about one thing, these directors that are selling their shares, either they are broke or they do not believe in the company. I have noticed that alot of shares were sold during the last few months by one of the new directors or maybe a option sale. Either way, this never looks good for stockholders. It gives the impression that upper management does not believe in the project. I hope he is just a political appointment and reaping the rewards for being on the board for less than a year. It is still shameful,
Just my opinion.
Miner, stay the course. Water can be a hazard in the hands of a non seasoned pro like yourself..
