Medinah Minerals Action Committee Letter April 17, 2001 Registered Share Count Update - We don't have a latest share count as of yesterday, April 16, so when we do get a total we'll sent it out as a separate Email. The Transfer Agent (American Registrar & Transfer Company) is swamped with exchange requests for the Medinah Mining into Medinah Minerals share exchange and doesn't have the time to break out and total the completed exchange requests. The time period from when you send your certificates of Medinah Mining to them until you've received your registered Medinah Minerals certificates is still at least 2 weeks and any requests for certificate exchange that arrive at the Transfer Agent's office on or before the close of business April 30th will be honored. Please have patience and don't phone the Transfer Agent to inquire about your shares before 2 weeks has passed. They're working as quickly as possible!!! For those of you participating in the "buy and register" campaign; soak up any Medinah Minerals stock that has to be sold at the bid with occasional bites at the offer. Be a pro, not an amateur. Don't reach up and run the price, buy on dips and don't forget to REGISTER any stock you buy. Let's keep the pressure on the brokers to only sell you "real" shares. How to catch a monkey. The natives of Africa have a very ingenious way of catching monkeys and baboons, and the lesson learnt also applies to market makers and illegal stock traders. First get yourself a gourd and cut the top off and empty the contents. Then cut a hole in the bottom just large enough for the width of a vine. Now get a vine and a ground peg. Make a knot at the end of the vine and pass the vine through the bottom of the gourd leaving the knot inside the gourd. Attach the other end of the vine to the peg and securely fasten the peg in the ground. Fill the gourd with monkey goodies, placing some on the ground near the gourd and stand back and wait for the troop to come by. The monkeys will taste the goodies on the ground and eventually discover the gourd filled with treats. At first they will be tentative about placing their hand into the gourd but as they feel more comfortable they will grasp with a full hand the goodies inside. One slight problem though. With a fist full of goodies their fist is too large to extract from the gourd. Try as they might they won't be able to get their hand out and because their greed button has been turned on, they won't let go for any reason. At this point you'll be able to walk right up to them as they're screaming and yelling and bonk them right on the head. Supper is served. Moral of the story? Don't get greedy or you'll be done like dinner. He who sells in the market shall buy in the market. Let's make them prove it. Register your shares. HERD ON THE STREET 1. The total volume of shares purchased by the "Buy and Register" program Friday, April 6 exceeded the total number of shares printed - and these were just the shares we knew about. Don't forget, if you buy, put in to register your shares. 2. The National Post reports in its Wednesday (April 11, 2001) edition that the former officer manager of BMO Nesbitt Burns's Calgary branch is the subject of at least 10 investigations being carried out by the Investment Dealers Association of Canada (IDA). The Post's Theresa Tedesco writes that according to documents, the IDA is probing the trading activities of Zona Armstrong involving client complaints dating to January, 1999. The IDA has 60 outstanding investigations involving brokers at Nesbitt Burns. The brokerage on Tuesday responded to a series of Post reports involving the company's compliance procedures. In a memo to its 1,600 investment advisers across Canada, Nesbitt Burns announced it had instituted more efficient systems to track brokers, client accounts and complaints. Meanwhile, two lawsuits have been filed against Ms. Armstrong and Nesbitt Burns in Calgary by clients who alleged the broker made discretionary trades and unsuitable investments in their accounts. The suits together seek about $713,000 in damages. The focus of the IDA's probe is to determine whether Nesbitt Burns has adequate compliance procedures in place. I wonder how many Medinah Mining shares she and her fellow brokers were illegally short selling to U.S. brokerage house clients? 3. From the archives of Medinah trivia we have the story of the financiers who gushed for 2 weeks in phone call after phone call about how great they thought Medinah was and how eager they were to finance the property development. During the last conversation they were asked as whether they preferred the property in Chile or the one in Argentina. They replied that they really liked the one in Argentina. Wrong answer! We don't have a property in Argentina. Just as management thought, it was another "short" group trying to cover a position through a financing. Bad, bad boys…. the least you could have done was your homework.
