Hi Portee!

I have never owned JNN and did not post any comments on that company.  I had been around SH for about 7 years, and I own my own website and discussion forum.  I do not have any formal relationship with any company, and do not provide IR or PR service.

I do not have any technical qualifications in the mining industry whatsoever.  My background is just that of a retail investor that got wiped out financially a few years ago, and resolved to thoroughly research every company before I invest.  That meant gaining an understanding of financial reporting, and a working knowledge of geology and mining.  I am not a geologist, but I 'speak the language' and understand the concepts.

I have been fortunate enough to earn enough from my investments during the last few years that I could retire and I now put most of my time into researching junior mining stocks.  I have been to visit dozens of mines and exploration projects over the last 2 years, and I make the effort to contribute on an honest and objective description of what I see during these trips, for the benefit of other people who do not have that opportunity.  It is common that the companies will pay for my travel expenses, but I do not receive any compensation whatsoever for my time.  I write on a freelance basis for a number of investment publications, and I also contribute to several public internet forums.  But I do urge everyone to just consider my comments and observations as an opinion, do your own DD, and take the responsibility for making your own decisions. 

cheers!
