Dear Madame CEO,
Cathy,
Could you please give me, and others a response, and answer to the listed article below
Like why are our Directors Fees so way out of line then with our peers?
Why do we overpay our Directors when they do not create any wealth for the shareholders of the company?
This is a start to a series of questions, about the operation of Monument Mining Limited in the on coming weeks.
Your answers will be appreciated
Best regards,
Richard O'Mara

Director's Fees.... Looks Like Hands in the Cookie Jar
Director's Fees:
As I noticed by the latest Information Circular from Monument Mining, that we pay the Directors, who are not executives, a lot of money, way too much money, way more then what peer companies pay their Directors
Non Executives Directors, Monument Mining Limited (NEO) In 2020:
Graham Dickson - directors fee of $83,000. plus meeting fees of $7,000.- Total $90,000.00. "note: Graham Dickson has been appointed Chairman ... what would his salary be now.
Michael John Kitney – director fees of $88,000. plus meeting fees of $7,000. - Total $95,000.00
This is before they are involved in the Stock Option Plan
this company. We have seen very little increase in share value for years, and or any substantial increase of company value. They seem to have been “bought” for their input, or lack of it. Like the bobbing heads of those dipping birds in back windows, of some autos
To me, that is an excessive amount to be paid to Directors who haven't really done anything for the company's shareholders
To substantiate my claim, I have taken the names of “peer” companies from the Scotia Bank I-Trade, MMY, Monument Mining Limited page.
The companies are: listed with Director's fees
CBRC Gold Bull Resources Corp only Stock Option Plan (SOP)
ORV Orvana Mineral Corp. $35,000. + expenses & SOP
RPX Red Pine Explorations Inc Stock Option Plan
BYN Banyan Gold Corp. Stock Option Plan
The companies below are from the Monument Mining Limited Peer Group from Thomson Reuters Stock Report part of the Scotia Bank I-Trade, MMY, Monument Mining Limited page.
OCG Outcrop Gold Corp approx $17,000.
LVX Leviathan Gold $0.00
AGD Antioquia Gold Inc. $1500./month, plus Stock Option Plan
RPX Red Pine Explorations Inc. Stock Option Plan
SKP Strikepoint Gold 2019- $2,000. to $27,000
HSTR Heliostar Metals $20,000 plus Stock Option Plan
RML Rusoro Mining (Russians) $30,000. to $100,000
CCM Canagold Resources Stock Option Plan
ATC ATAC Resourses $12,000. to $49,000.
Just one firm comes close to what MMY paid it's non- NEO Directors, and that's a Russian firm, RML Rusoro Mining where the CEO also from his $100,000. Director's fees, he also gets $1,000,000. for being the CEO
In my opinion, I really think our Directors are paid overly well, just to just be yes men, to what the management wants.... it is waste of our money .... almost like stealing company funds. With that kind of money.... they sure are not independant
Information was taken from SEDAR,, from the last Company Information Circular
