Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CWRN)-- Robert L.
Cotton, President of Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. announced
that a special meeting of the Company's Board of Directors was held
on November 20th, 2010 to discuss the following points of
reference. The following is the agenda as laid out in the September
30th news release followed by notes.
1. Review the year to date mining progress at the Baja Pacific
Iron Mineral Mining Project.
Year to date progress on the Baja Pacific Iron Mining project is
improving on a daily basis with a substantial amount of raw crude
iron ore crushed and stockpiled to size specifications, awaiting
magnetic scrubbing to comply with the customer's iron (Fe%) content
specifications. The 1,000 metric ton per hour magnetic separator
that is being custom build by Valley Equipment Company, Salem,
Oregon is expected to be completed and delivered to Baja before the
end of November. Ensenada, B.C. loading berths for bulk mineral
shipping is not yet completed; arrangements are being made to
load-out from three 10,000 metric ton transfer barges onto a bulk
cargo vessel within the port's break-walls. The contract heavy-haul
transportation from the mine to the port has been settled and will
begin after two days of magnetic separation of the 3 by 18
millimeter iron ore fines. Magnetic separators for the 0 to 3
millimeter super fines are on location and the installation of
these units will begin within the next week. It may not be possible
for the cargo vessel once ordered in to reach the Port of Ensenada
before the end of 2010; however, the Company is still pursuing the
shipping target of December loading. On site mine stripping and
iron mineral scalping is in full operations producing pre-crush
iron materials to keep the crushing operations in production. There
are currently 17 pieces of heavy equipment working on site with an
additional 6 to 8 more pieces scheduled to be incorporated into the
mining plan in January 2011. Overburden stripping continues on the
upper elevations of the mine and has uncovered large consolidated
magnetite ore bodies that will require blasting; these areas will
not be mined until 2011 as the Company is concentrating on the
mixed Magnetite / Hematite iron ore bodies that can be broken out
by heavy machinery. The newly permitted land-usage that encompasses
the Magma Uplifts has not yet been touched.
2. Review the issued and outstanding public share structure and
vote on the number of common shares that will be made available to
the public. The Company is contemplating a treasury buy back
program for sixty (60%) percent of the public free trading common
shares in year 2011.
Officers, Directors and Affiliates (all of which are insiders)
currently hold over sixty (60%) of the outstanding common shares of
CWRN. The B.O.D. has voted to incorporate a structured plan that
will provide for a combination of buyback and retirement of CWRN
common shares that will balance the control of voting shares in
favor of the Management. At this time all of the Officers,
Directors and Affiliate company Pan Am, each holding more than ten
(10%) percent of the outstanding shares and are subject to SEC
rules regarding trading of said common shares.
3. Review the common share count percentage held by affiliates
and insiders. Currently Pan American Mineral Ventures, LLC., State
of Nevada, is the largest shareholder controlling 1.75 billion
common shares. Both Pan American Mineral Ventures, LLC. and
Panamerican Minerals Ventures, S.A. de C.V. Baja California, Mexico
are CWRN affiliates, both companies are co-managed and controlled
by Robert L. Cotton Jr. and Sharon Vazquez for and on behalf of
Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. as trustees, pursuant to a
corporate consent resolution and trustee contract by and between
the parties.
By consent; the Directors of Pan Am LLC., U.S.A. shall retire by
deleting a percentage of common shares now held as new common
shares that are accumulated though the public market beginning in
the later part of the first quarter of 2011.
4. Review and discuss the possibility of a corporate name change
from Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. to Pan American Mineral
Ventures, Inc. to better reflect the Mexico In-country affiliate
operations.
By consent; the Board of Directors has approved the name change
of Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. to Pan American Mineral
Ventures, Inc. The Company shall submit to NASDAQ the request for
name change together with a new CUSIP number in early January 2011.
Currently the Company is dark on reporting to the new Pinksheets
guide lines, beginning with the first quarter of 2011, audited
consolidated financial statements will be made available and posted
on Pinksheets. First quarter financials should be completed no
later than April 15th, 2011 and shall be immediately posted for the
general public together with complete share structure. Projected
consolidated revenues for the first quarter 2011 will approximately
fall between 30 and 50 million dollars, depending on the number of
shipments of finished iron ore product the Company will be able to
provide. The Company has recently been contacted by Merchant
Bankers to sponsor an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on another
index. The Company has looked at both the NASDAQ and German DAX, no
discussion has yet been determined as to where the Company may land
in the future, but it is doubtful that the Company can remain on
the Pinksheets past 2011. In the event that the Company does move
to another index, current shareholders shall be issued the new
listing common shares in proportion to their holdings.
5. Review and discuss the possibility of relocating the
corporate office to San Diego, California, to better serve the
project operations, currently Management Officers are on location
in Ensenada, B.C. The Houston office number +1 713 482 7593 now
transfers into Mexico.
By Consent; the Board of Directors has rejected the corporate
move to California, for various reasons and shall remain domiciled
in Texas for the near future.
