hi, im gail and just logged on today, im also the moderator for paim, on stockwire.com (as gail) and i am "only1gail" on raging bull.
after many months i finally pressured david corman (paims t/a) of first public securities in CA to send me the paper cd cert. it was mailed directly to me if i recall.. that was about 2 weeks ago.. then i brought it to my bank and had it "medalian stamped" and i sent it back to CA with 50 bucks to convert it to common.. 4.6 mil shares cert was mailed directly back to me and then i mailed that to ameritrade w/the stock power form, and it was posted to my acct.. so i think your problem of not getting the cd cert, lies with that t/a in ca.. so you may want to call him.. its a cell phone only .. at 310-728-6907. i also have their email of.. firstpublicsecurities@hotmail.com
also, a man named capinvest on raging bull finally got through to gary, as all of us were unable to reach him.. he posted..
SPOKE TO Gary Gotanco!!!! Continued....
I called Gary Gotanco yesterday, (meaning Monday) and requested a call back at his convenience. 48 hours later, he called and we had a 30 minute discussion on various subjects old and new. He was a very amiable chap and answered my questions directly and concisely. Below I have posted some of questions and I am merely paraphrasing his replies.
1. Why the delayed Audited Financial Statements:
Essentially, the accounting firm requested information on expense reports. When the information was provided, they requested additional information. He relayed to me that they have offered the accounting firm an "aggressive bonus" if they release the financial within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Regardless, their efforts remain intact to have the report completed the end of this month. He also stressed that they are well aware of it's importance to investors.
2. Reverse Split in the works?:
He stressed that the CEO has repeatedly stated that they do not intend a reverse split. They are of the mindset that it is not good for the investor nor the company, and that their operational success will eventually be reflected in the stock price.
3. Updating the Website:
I stressed that the amateur nature of their website leaves a lot to be desired, and reflects poorly on the company. He conceded that the site does not reflect their business model and the serious nature of the professionals involved. He said they are indeed in the process of updating the site, however it will take some time before we see the final product.
4. Potential Revenue and Gold and Mineral reserves:
He reminded that in their current operations, they believe there is a 100,000 metric ton of ore, of which each ton can produce 16 ounces troy ounces of gold. This does not include the XYZ mining site that will become operational this year, nor the Manganese mining site.
5. Profitability?:
He was direct in his answer that although they have generated revenue by the first quarter as promised, profitability for the entire company may not happen until the 2nd to 3rd quarter at best. However their financial position and impressive progress when compared to other mining operations should give investors confidence that they are on the right track.
6. Community Outreach Programs:
When I enquired about the most recent PR, he was very firm in explaining the geopolitical nature of working within the Philippines and "kind" of investors they would like to attract. He explained that these project are at the heart of their operations. The schools, hospitals and other community programmes they have initiated ensure their ability to continue operations on these properties. As these regions are controlled by locals, they must continue to establish a foothold in these regions to ensure their success.
7. Contact Information:
He explained that he will return all calls and do his best to return emails, however he stated that some have become personal in their attempts to reach him and deviated from the professional nature of their enquiries.
I hope this helps. I asked many other questions and he answered as best as he could.
Cheers.
(me again (gail).. sorry its such a long post, but i only get 3 per day while im new to the board) hope the info helps out.
