Harry's New Venture

LEAD EDITORIAL
With the oceans of grief and the prevalence of conflict being sustained by almost all forms of the popular media, it is the intent of Mining.NOW to enjoy and bring a sense of pleasure and relief to an otherwise staid industry.
Mining.NOW will deliver a readership by consistently showcasing the happier side of the business of promoting with which most junior mining CEO’s are pre-occupied. The stories featured in these pages will be forward-looking without being wishy-washy and will include those words of the CEO’s as they elucidate their vision and strategy for success of their companies.

Also though, and as importantly, hilarious anecdotes of their early days as prospectors and their misadventures will be included. The forests of North and South America veil many of these stories and the mists of time will cloud them forever if writers don’t unearth them.

New land leases, junior mining plays, mergers and ore-producing enterprises will be covered in all the heroic or checkered details.

It is commonly the objective of the junior mining executives to secure takeover by the majors and that is their definition of success. It’s the thrill of these deals as they are being constructed that we hope to capture. And to remind us all of the necessity of ethical conduct to guide us through the complicated maze of deal-making, number-crunching and huffing fly-by-nighters we will focus on some of the more derelict deeds of the VSE in its shameful heyday. When playing the shell game you really are supposed to find a peanut eventually.

As for myself, I was recently canned by one publication after I attempted some due diligence and asked to see their distribution credentials and print run docket. I was met with significant (and telling?) hostility. So Mining.NOW will show the print docket for each issue – starting at 20,000 – and will offer a transparent documentation of our distribution strategy.

Our rates are 20% less than that dubious Brand X for which I worked and our credentials will, as mentioned, be made irrevocably clear. To publish means to distribute. No argument there.

Our management will be client-focused as opposed to a kind of arrogant pro-management characterized by mindless bullying; and our commitment to service will be relentless in accommodating the client requirements. Welcome. To the adventure that is Mining.NOW.
