Notes from Melvin Paltalk session
---------------------------------------------------------
Starts by playing Bad to the Bone and announcing Uncle Melvie is in the house.
NOt too much going on here today. I shouldn't say that. That's not entirely true either.
Market was kinda weird. People think something bigger and better come Monday. I'm not gonna build your hopes up for the weekend. I don't know what to say. I'm in a pretty good mood [chuckle]. I'll just leave it at that.
Any questions?
Q. Did Janice Shell call and say "Hi"
A. No. I was looking forward to talking to Janice and chewing the fat and I was a bit dissappointed.
Q. Are we still retiring shares?
A. Yes as far as I know we've retiring shares for a year. Everytime I ask Urban I get the same answer, "still retiring shares."
Q. Are we at 150 feet drilling or more?
A. I imagine we are further down than that. I've haven't spoken to Ron but that was a couple days ago. I'll find out later and keep you updated.
*** UCAD PR OUT ***
Melvin was aware of the PR and suggested everyone go read it. [My take is that this may be a headquarter site for a combined entity. Just my opinion from PaltalkNews](Adidas' opinion)
Q. Have you seen carolyn lab results yet.
A. No. I was expecting them but did not get them today so I guess that is the end of that story.
Q. Was the UCAD PR the result of the meetings this week.
A. I have no idea. I couldn't tell you. I don't work for UCAD.
Q. Is your excitement based on what you see coming for the company or are you just having a good weekend. Could you clarify that?
A. laughs. You old sly dog you. You asking me that from a different angle. My excitement is coming down the pipe folks. I'm not gonna lie to ya.
MarketView guy talking to Melvin. He is a daytrader and doesn't do anything with pinksheets. Some of his listeners mentioned it and he is researching the company. Feels we have a lot of "passionate" people. Inviting Melvin to be on MarketView show broadcast to a variety of places.
Melvin stating: You have stummbled upon the biggest and best publicly traded company right now. We are happy to have you and are gracious you joined us. Thank you for coming.
Q. Does CMKX have plan in place for bulk sampling?
A. I don't think so. It is too early. A plan would not take too long. We have a plan for where we are right now. We will implement this plan, make sure it works then we will move on to another plan.
Q. Will we be seeing a PR soon from the meeting last week.
A. I imagine Roger and Urban are putting a PR with a summary of what transpired [chuckles] we'll probably see that some time in the very near future.
Melvin talking about charitable contributions. A gentleman mentioned donating to aplastic anemia foundation. Melvin is very touched.
Q. Do you know when carolyn results will be in?
A. I was hoping for results today but looks like that aint gonna happen. Here we sit and wait again.
Q. Is this another Friday pump with no real news to follow?
A. I'm just gonna pump up the company. It's Friday afternoon. I'm gonna pump. NOT (sarcastic)
Q. Is it possible that carolyn samples were routed to someone else before you get a copy?
A. ya. that is the way it happens. Geologist gets them then gives them to UC then it goes to me. Uncle Melvie is low on the totem pole when it comes to things like that.
Q. Is Citigroup actions beneficial to this company?
A. I don't know anything about that company so I will reserve comment on that one.
Q. Is the company in negotiations with regards to any of the properites up there (carolyn pipe, etc.) Is there a bidding war going on?
A. I can't comment on who we are negotiating with. Think about it. I can't comment on a bidding war.
Q. Will CMKX move to the new facilities in UCAD PR?
A. I have no idea. Couldn't tell ya.
Q. How many feet per day are we drilling?
A. Last I heard was 150 ft. I haven't spoken to anyone for a day and a half. If everything is going good... I won't even guess. Depends on what we are going through. I may drive up tonight and should have an answer tomorrow or Monday.
Q. When can we have an open chat with the geologist?
A. I spoke with Ralph yesterday and I think we can set this up soon. I'm working on it.
Q. When doing a core sample, will the drill bit chew up a good size diamond.
A. No. Diamonds are the hardest.
Q. What is the OS?
A. laughs.
If I sound like I'm in a good mood it is because I am. I have my reasons. I'm not gonna say it but you people should be in a good mood here.
Q. Last week you mentioned that you were looking at something on your desk that would make investors happy at some point in time. Can you expound and will that excitement reach a peak this week.
A. I said that? I need my head examined. I don't remember saying that?
Q. Can you comment for Ralph's experience.
A. Ralph has a good resume. Geologist for 35-40 years. Done everything from diamond things to gold uranium. His credential are pretty darn impressive. You can ask him that when he gets on here.
Q. Earlier you said you were happy and we should be happy as well. Could you explain that statement.
A. Sure I can. Don't read into what I'm saying. It's the weekend. People are supposed to be happy on the weekend. But you folks read that we will be getting this and such on the weekend. I'm just saying it is the weekend. That is it.
Q. Could you explain horizontal drilling?
A. Like Shore Gold is doing. They dig themselves a big hole 10-20 feet. They then lower a bucket with a crane into the hole and they send miners down to drill holes in the side of the major hole and they dig tunnels outwards. All the stuff they take out is put in bucket and is put in big piled. This is what you call bulk sampling.
Q. Your excitement for the shareholder... Does it reach a peak this week or in the very near future. Can you elaborate.
A. hah, hah, hah. Labrian, you break me up. No I'm not even gonna answer that one. Everyone is great at assumptions around here so you people make up your own assumptions okay.
Someone politely commenting that Melvin can be misleading. For instance comments about this weekend.
Melvin: you hit the nail on the head. Even my wife says I like to flap my lips. People hang on every word I say. Perhaps I should watch what I say. I'm trying my darndest. People read into what I say a lot. Maybe it is just the way I say it. Please accept my deepest apologies. I'm not a pumper by no means.
Uncle Melvie gets excited sometimes especially when there is good news. Put yourself in my shows. When I do get good news and I'm not allowed to say anything. I'm a bubbly guy and like to play music and things. It is really tough for me to know what I know and not be able to tell you folks. Whether it be good news or bad news. It is easy to tell people bad news. I hope you can appreciate where I am coming from.
I never met 97% of you but I love you people to death and respect each and every one of you. There is so much I wish I could tell you and it hurts me that I can't. But it is my job and I have to learn to control my emotions. I've been blessed but on the other hand that I have to watch what I say and how to say it. You people can hear my voice and sometimes see my picture. You know how excited I can be. That is not that good.
I have to learn to be more professional. Now, when I say more professional, I'm not going to sit here like a stone and say "no comment" "I'll get back to you". I'm not gonna just be a rock. I like to talk to people in a civilized manner. That is just the way it is. I've got to learn to control my emotions and how I say things becasue people perceive what I say is very important.
I apologize if I sound upbeat. But I am upbeat. Is it because of what is coming down the pipe. No. If I made a comment about something on my desk making shareholders happy, I should get slapped. If I did say it, I profusely apologize. I would never try to manipulate you people or give bad advice. Or pump this company up all weekend so you are let down on Monday. You are my friends and I love you guys. I'm sorry if I offended any of you or misled any of you. My intentions are good. I need to learn to control my emotions.
