A couple days ago PEM's website was shut down for revision(s). Commercial practice is to only shut down a website for as little time as is necessary and to have whatever changes are to be made to a website ready to install-posted. Given that the shut down has been 2+ (and counting) days, it makes me wonder if some significant changes to the website are about to be made. I guess it could be nothing. Then again. . . .

I heard that PEM was continuing (in the here and now) to prepare for a possible-probable new mine. The plans call for a very aggresive-expeditious mine opening within months. Personally, and it is just my opinion based on my research, I think a mine on the Friday will happen. The extent of a new mine's profitability will largely depend on the Price Of Gold (POG). If PEM thinks they can be proftable, even if gold were to fall to $1,000 an ounce, then I see a mine on the Friday unless the upcoming drill assays are mostly duds, which I doubt will be the case. Money is being lined up to open a mine on the Friday. Has been. Is now. Will be. While some publicly say "Possible," they are thinking "probable." I'm predicting "absolute," unless some unknown issue surfaces. I could be wrong. I'm not encouraging investing. Just stating what I see, believe, and expect (for me) to be a "foregone conclusion." A mine on the Friday in a matter of months. PEM has that perfect commercially zoned building-structure and large parcel of land on the Elk City road (at the former Saw Mill site PEM bought) which is on the OSZ. It would make for an on-site operations headquarters and camp. I'd love to see what preparations are being made there over the coming weeks-months. We should know something soon enough, I believe. Perhaps sooner than expected.
