My name is Matt Russell, your President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board. Randy Squires is your Chief Financial Officer. Call us. We are in this investment together and want to hear your ideas.
There is a misperception by some investors and many mining professionals that the “good properties” are already taken, that there cannot be any more world class or even highly prospective properties “just lying around”-- then we came upon Guerra al Tirano(GAT) and Tres de Mayo(TDM) in the thick of the Sierra Madre gold belt of Chihuahua, Mexico.
Randy and I recall investing in 2004 and 2005 in my last venture, Idaho General Mines, Inc. (GMO on the AMEX). We had just begun and had no properties-- then we ferreted out Mt Hope and Hall-Tonopah, two of the largest world class molybdenum deposits in the world, just “lying about” in Nevada.
Although we would embrace the luck of stumbling upon a world class gold deposit, we are underway on a methodical plan to seek out the same. And in our quest we are employing some of the best geological minds from the Mexican and Nevada gold belts. Specifically, we look for those successful mining districts from the “old days” which have been overlooked or misunderstood. We also look for those prospects which will have a relatively low cost to determine if there is a large upside potential. GAT and TDM are perfect examples of this approach to acquisitions and exploration.
As a new investor you will want to read our quarterly updates of Mission Azteca because we intend to continue to show you why we invested heavily in ourselves. You might think about telling a friend about Azteca… but be sure to tell them why we stand out: We not only believe the best prospects are yet to be found, we are out finding them and intend to explore them to their full potential at lowest cost and highest return.
Your fellow investor and President,
Matthew F. Russell |
