I really don't blame you guys for fixating on the uncertainty here. The perceived risk to reward ratio is just about at my personal level of tolerance. My bullishness is derived almost in whole from my investigation into the property, and from the recent developments and efforts made to clarify the direction of the company. I have little love for the stocks history and reserve extreme prejudice in my decision to trust Bryant. On a lighter note, I find the historical aspect of the New Rambler fascinating and exciting, and it is my assumption that this will appeal to other investors as well if enough things go right looking into the future.
It is clear to me that Dave Bryant has had a steep learning curve and investors haven't been spared from bearing the brunt of most of it over these years. His interest in mining may have began and lasted too long for all the wrong reasons. This could be indicated by his less than successful foray into Africa and his gateway into Wyoming by way of that NVC fund disaster. We have little reason to believe his mistakes have ended besides the fact that he is finally seeking help. Despite all said, and at the risk of sounding naive - just because a stock was presumably directionless for 10+ years (under your watch) does not necessarily mean it is directionless now.
The enormous common share count issue will be very hard to ignore until we have absolute proof that those issued in 2021 will be getting returned. The reasons stated for their issuance were that they were needed in order to dilute out Tristan Stonger prior to the stock becoming Pink Current again. There is evidently a concerted effort to bring Stonger's shares back into treasury, and after successfully doing so, the shares that were issued to Bryant will no longer have a reason to remain outstanding. That will be a moment of truth when it comes. That's what we are to assume and what we have to hope for as it is most definitely a deterrent to new investment and anyone who has been caught blindsided by it. Why the fuck does Tristan Stonger hold so many shares in the first place? Just what were those services he was hired to do whether they were rendered or not? The fuck knows at this point. The guy is a pill miller and a trap houser and his name is a stain on everything it touches. Recent OTC degenerates who have found their way to BYRG hope to witness a successful reversal of these actions, as well as a profound cleanup effort as we are to believe is taking place. It is being presented as an opportunity... and I get the appeal of that.... but clean up plays were never my forte. I know how ambitious this mining project is. Its an enormous uphill battle enough to prospect and commercialize one of the only primary platinum deposits on the continent! Nevertheless, I am here, and I will continue to be as brutally honest as I can be with you guys.

Itβs so apparent who on these boards is who. They consistently fall back to the same logical fallacies, referring to the past 7+ years back, provide no insight as to whatβs being doing on the corporate cleanup thatβs been occurring, among the expansion of the property last year and a 3rd party contractor Geologist was onsite all summer and left HRC in order to join the BYRG board to further work this project, what a rather interesting skin in the game move that is. But letβs also ignore the fact that the State of Wyoming is mobilizing funds, people, and equipment to study the precise area that BYRG and ARRNF fall within for critical minerals and rare earths in conjunction with USGS. All this is happening while USA law (Inflation reduction act) mandated the use of USA supplied metals, so now they are looking for domestically located critical mineral and rare earth deposits But again, this MUST BE FAKE.

indicate that there is much to have interest in at this site.
As gitreal stated, that could be said of just about any site in the state. And citing whatever material you can find on the subject of mining in the area is of no use to anyone thinking of putting money into a company that hasn't been able to produce revenue since 2016. Bryant's press releases are boilerplate, beginning with the gypsum nonsense.
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 26, 2016) - Buyer Group International, Inc. (OTC PINK: BYRG) today provided a shareholder update regarding its new direction to make a target acquisition for the Company into an African based Gypsum project.
Buyer Group anticipates that it will be able to obtain the necessary permits to commence exploration at the Lindi Region and also Hotelli Tatu in the Kilwa District of Tanzania, within 7 to 14 days, barring any additional requests or delays. Upon the completion of this process, Buyer Group plans to retain the services of qualified experts to determine the project's probable reserves before applying for the necessary mining permits. The acquisition may add over 1,250,000 Tons of Gypsum in off-take agreements to the asset and revenue base of the Company.

It's healthy to have doubts, especially given this stocks history and the projects early stage of development, however, the continuing reconnaissance efforts of WYGS and USGS, as well as the decades past written coverage by USGS, independent geologists, as well as the overwhelming amount of historical newspaper coverage from the days of this sites production, indicate that there is much to have interest in at this site.
I will cite and recommend some works that one should read and consider and at the very least should be aware of by investors. Hit me up via PM if anyone needs help finding any of these works.

Admittedly, it's a bit of a stretch, but here's why I believe REE's and the Halleck Creek exploration project are relevant to BYRG.
64 miles northeast of the BYRG's claims and the historic New Rambler mine site, American Rare Earths operates their Halleck Creek project and is in pursuit of Rare Earth Elements as a primary resource. Preliminary drill results as well as a scoping study for Halleck Creek were released this year and show promising results. "A significant portion of the deposit comprises magnet rare earth elements (Nd2O3, Pr6O11, Sm2O3, Dy2O3, and Tb4O7), which are crucial for various technologies. These elements constitute about 27% of the total resource, with an average grade of 774 ppm magnet REO, further emphasizing the deposit's economic potential (MINING.COM)" A continued trend of success at Halleck Creek to prove and claim this critical minerals resource WILL bring positive attention to southeast Wyoming's anomalously diverse geology, and mining efforts in proximity. The exploration and development of such deposits are widely established to be crucial for diversifying and securing domestic critical mineral resources separate from the predominant unreliable or perhaps hostile sources like Russia and China, and so the demand is bound to show its teeth very soon. USGS and WYGS continue to test these and surrounding sites, and as recently as 2023 with cooperation of BYRG management, in search of critical minerals, specifically, Rare Earth Elements.
Geologically speaking, both of these projects occupy adjacent shear zones and share similar geochemical anomalies and general geologic features and host rocks. Both sites are associated with mafic to ultramafic igneous rocks, a common host for both PGM and primary REE deposits. The New Rambler Mine is associated with shear zones cutting through a series of mafic igneous and metamorphic rocks, specifically noted to involve metadiorite and metagabbro. Such geological settings are said to be conducive to the concentration of both REE's and PGM's because of their magmatic and hydrothermal processes. The New Rambler Mine's ore bodies were structurally controlled, located at the intersection of mylonite zones with shear zones. Similarly, exploration for REE often targets areas where magmatic fluids have interacted with existing rocks to form mineralized zones. Both projects have targeted the presence of mineralized shear zones is a critical indicator their early sampling efforts and have specifically focused on these "Structurally controlled" formations. These have each independently confirmed a favorable outcome at the surface and so both are moving to conduct an exploration campaign to investigate their deposits at depth.

Man, you are whining about a PM that was relatively cordial, no expletives, no insults, etc? What a snowflake.
I can't even remember why I PM'd you, but you sure are sensitive. Don't worry I won't do it again, wouldn't want you to have a melt-down.
Did you get with Surreal dude, and educate him about what platinum is, and what rare earths are? I am sure you don't know the difference either, but maybe together you guys can figure it out. If you're gonna promote a scam mining operation, you guys should at least have the sense to use Wikipedia and educate yourself a bit.

So I guess we should talk about BYRG.
BYRG, who at some point is expected to undergo a name and ticker change to reflect their Platinum-focused operations, is in the prospecting and staking stage of a historical-mining-resurrection type business. Their ultimate goal is not necessarily to produce metal product but to develop and prove their properties in the interest of a possible sale to a noble metals or rare-earths producer.
The focus of BYRG's operations has been to claim, re-commercialize, and prove, the surrounding site of the past producing New Rambler Mining District in southern Wyoming. It's known for its copper production in early 1900's, and an anomalous Platinum Group Metals deposit that was discovered in 1902. The platinum discovery, however, was never duly prospected or explored despite being heavily marketed to investors at the time. It continued to be a primary copper producer for decades until the mine experienced a fire in 1918. This happened during the onset of ww1, the accompanying nationalization of mines and smelting in the area, and has never properly recovered. A great deal of newspaper articles from the time of operation have covered this mine, and a multitude of scholarly articles have studied this area's geology, but the bulk of proprietary data from its days of production were sadly lost in the fire. It has been the subject of recent speculation that despite being on public land, now adjacent to residential, the company's claims contain the remnants of a largely un-prospected and valuable deposit of PGM's. Helpfully, unlike back in the day, the site is now within range of roads and other helpful infrastructure. WYGS and USGS continue to conduct airborne reconnaissance of this area in search of critical minerals, and this particular site has been the subject of ongoing special interest and sample collection for public study and documentation. Reporting and results these government-funded activities, including those under the EarthMRI program from the past year, should be released soon.
As far as I can surmise, Sunnyland has taken a prominent role in this company's operations for the last few years - until a more ideal situation can be attained and a appropriate and capable team is built. His company RBMC has been awarded shares for services, and talent from the RBMC team has been utilized at almost every juncture for some time now. These duties include but aren't limited to handling investor marketing, networking, on site prospecting and staking activities, sample documentation, and countless other tasks behind the scenes as evidence suggests. Notably, the resourcefulness and legal maneuvering of Sunnyland's group have been aiding Dave Bryant in tracking down "toxic" shares that could conceivably be canceled, gone astray during this stocks tumultuous and dark history. This is only a few years after 2021 when the outstanding share count exploded as a result of the renewed commitment to maintain pink current standing again. I expect share cancellations to continue and I remain optimistic that the 1.1 billion shares owned by Tristan Stonger (as seen in filings for services never rendered) can be returned. At that point, the OTC's 5% rule will no longer need to be circumvented, and Dave can begin returning chunks of if not all of that massive 6 billion share lot of his back to treasury. Its still a mystery to me how and why these two got hooked up in the first place, but nevertheless, the stock has come down a lot since this share structure expansion became realized and presents a valuable opportunity upon a successful reversal.
This comes at a time when an effort to build a real company with real assets and real operations is taking place. The need to grow the board with relevant expertise (beyond just Dave Bryant) has been apparent and so some additions have been made. After the recent train got wrecked at CAVR (another Sunny affiliated stock) we saw the addition of Grant Edwards to the board of BYRG. In addition, we saw a relative of Dave's, Summer Bryant added to the board..... but most interestingly, Justin Mistikawy, who was a junior geologist assigned to BYRG's property while working for Hard Rock Consulting, has been awarded shares and has been added to the board as well. It looks like Hard Rock Consulting will not be on full time like last season, but will only be utilized as needed, such as for future report writing and perhaps engineering.
Another development came in the form of Groundhog Mining and Milling, who was the former mining contractor at SDRC (Another Sunnyland affiliated stock), being brought on to begin working the site, propose and plan a drill campaign, and administer the permitting process thereof. This startup of operations comes at a time when the price of Platinum is within range of a multi-year trough. They are going against the grain presented by the market to make progress in bringing these properties back into relevance, and prepare the stock to be received by a higher profile audience some day. I think this is an indication of not only sincere intentions to build something real but determination to have that future leg up on the platinum market when it comes back into vogue (which may be years from now.) This is going to take a lot of work and time, and anyone serious about investing here should be aware of this. Assuringly, the platinum group elements are highly critical metals in emerging green technologies like hydrogen, and novel methods of water/air purification, but viable domestic sources of them are known to be rare, even unbelievable to most in the early stages. The mining, and metallurgy alone make this a very ambitious, risky, and arduous project, and the uncertainty on the corporate side makes this stock an even harder sell, but that can be an opportunity if it fits with your tolerance for risk.
I hope y'all appreciate my honest appraisal of BYRG. I know some of you have been aware of this stock for a decade or more, seen some ugly things (like the complete and utter mistake of ever getting involved with NVC Fund... or Tristan Stonger...), and have little trust for Dave Bryant, Sunnyland, or just generally find the uphill battle the history of this stock has necessitated hopeless or not worth it. I don't blame you. I reserve prejudice, and have more questions than answers about BYRG and Dave Bryant myself. Nevertheless, there is a clear effort being made on the part of people I have learned to at the very least respect, to give the exploration project a real shot under a stock worth investing in.
