Red Rock Resources - Re: RRR Stream Log - MiningMaven operates on a sponsorship...

MiningMaven operates on a sponsorship model with a combination of professional and company sponsors. Does that mean MiningMaven is paid to write only good things about Companies? Whenever we write about a company we do so on behalf of our readers and unless otherwise stated, all opinions given are those of MiningMaven. This means that we are responsible for the work we publish and it is not commissioned to order. We don't give recommendations or investment/trading advice. Companies featured on the MiningMaven website pay a sponsorship fee which covers the costs of our work and operations. However we will not cover a company on MiningMaven just because they agree to pay us a sponsorship fee. There are simply too many companies out there for us to do justice to them all and we can’t be everything to everyone. If MiningMaven is so selective regarding who you work with, how do you make a living? MiningMaven is run by Private Investors and as Private Investors we aim to make our money principally through our investments and by finding what we consider to be the best opportunities where we would be happy to invest in personally. If we won't or can’t back companies we cover with our own money, how on earth can we be trusted to mean what we say? What is MiningMaven’s Criteria? When we meet a Company we ask them detailed questions about their: Board and management effectiveness and correlation with investor interests Vision, Strategy and how this translates to action on the ground Finance and funding Geography and geology Commodity exposure Corporate Governance in the round Social development programmes in the field Communications commitment and capability Shareholder awareness......hmmmm really?
