Interesting how this NR gets released just hours after the Committee's wonderfully written NR...

Forget the stock options, just give them burlap bags with dollar signs on them

Someone should tell Daniel Major that CMM DOES NOT have any INDEPENDENT directors. If there are any, I'd sure like to know who they are, so that our representative committee could contact them.

Why does CMM's Marketwire news release appear on Yahoo and not the Committee's release?

I am not suggesting there is a conspiracy ... rather, does one have to pay Marketwire and / or Yahoo something extra in order to have one's news releases more widely distributed?

How can they even think of rewarding themselves with 'options'? For WHAT??!! A 0.39c stock price that crash in less than a month?

Monkeys couldn't f* up CMM as much as these 'wizards' could do last few weeks - can't even make Lamaque show profits at $1500 gold.


Wonder why Major is handing out CMM options...shouldn't he be giving out White toilet paper instead?

um so they are filling their pockets before they get kicked out? How is this even allowed, option grants should only be performance based and these guys have underperformed, if anything they should be giving shares back.

Out of the 930,000 warrants issue, I presume they were distributed as follows (correct me if they are wrongly stated)
250,000 - campoy
200,000-lamaque
200,000-sheridian
280,000-employees
I have no objection for the 280,000 warrants to employees, possibly as an incentive to boost morale n to induce their staying with the Co. As for the other 650,000 to the 3 directors whom I thk have already disqualified themselves as independent directors, the warrants issued to them don't reflect rewards for outstanding services as there is none to show. Instead their utter failure has caused destruction to our share value which is as plain as day. AS SUCH IT IS IMMORAL FOR THEM TO TAKE THESE WARRANTS FOR THEMSELVES AS THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO BE REWARDED. On the other hand, I would strongly suggest they take immediate action to reject these warrants n to resign themselves from the positions as I do not see their contributions as desirable. Am I talking about men with high corporate integrity n moral standard?

these directors, and I use the term losely, should give all their options back since they are useless people, they should even be sued for not doing their job of representing ALL the shareholders best interests not just 2 of them. Major should also give his options back and as CEO he should be sued for loss of revenue because he makes the decisions and he decided to basically stop mining hence the low grades. I am not a mining expert but after a year of mining shouldn't they have been in the high grade ore not going backwards and decreasing the grades? But I know the low grades are part of the "Grand Scam". When you virtually stop mining and just put garbage through the mill and there is no revenue to pay the miners, the money has to come from somewhere and I suspect that is where the WTG money went.

So this brillant ceo has already found a way to burn up the +7million derived from the previous lot of Fin's warrants exercised by someone else without much mine progress/result to show?
