Richard Fiorini, CEO &
Denny Sestanovich, US Manager
Asamera Minerals
Thank
you, Denny, for your recent calls regarding the status of the
Reclamation Bond. To date, Pallas has compiled five reports, the last of
which BLM accepted, concurred by NDEP, establishing a total of $269,195
in estimated reclamation costs.
Based on
information we provided, the Gooseberry was verbally accepted for
bonding by the Nevada Bonding Pool on July 13, 1994, when Messrs.
Russell Fields and Doug Driesner of the Nevada Department of Minerals
made personal inspections of the Gooseberry facilities along with
myself. However, they wanted $400,000 in on-site Gooseberry collateral
to back their bonding.
During
our discussion prior to purchase, we were informed that "all"
of Asamera's data ... was on the table for review, so our company could
make an intelligent evaluation for potential profits from mining.
At our
contract signing, [no Asamera representative present] could think of
anything else that might negatively affect the continuation of
profitable operations at the Gooseberry Mine.
... I
repeatedly asked all of Asamera's representatives several questions:
1.
"Is there anything else that should be disclosed?" The
answer was "No."
2.
"Assuming good operations, is there anything that I should be
aware of that would prevent us from being successful at continuing
mining operations at the Gooseberry Mine?" Everybody
answered "No, not that we can think of."
3.
"Is there any more information that should be included in our
review that you can think of?" The answer, again, was
"No. You've got it all."
4.
"Can you think of anything else?" "No."
5.
"Has full disclosure been made?" "Yes."
6. "Do
you know of anything that would prevent the successful operation of
the mine by a good operator?" "No."

comment: Asamera Minerals committed fraud when selling the
Gooseberry Mine property to Pallas. Asamera represented that
substantial quantities of valuable ore remained in the mine; this was a
lie.

Pursuant
to our recent discussions regarding the Gooseberry Mine, it came as a
relief that you were thinking of having Asamera Minerals pay for the
Reclamation at our Gooseberry Mine rather than Pallas Resource
Corporation. You had said earlier that you didn't think Asamera was
totally off the hook, and that there were cases in which previous owners
were required to pay for cleanup.

The
current, stressed financial standing of Pallas Resource Corporation is
the direct and unquestionable result of fraud perpetrated by the seller
when Pallas purchased the Gooseberry property. The seller misrepresented
significant factual information about this property to the profound
detriment of Pallas. If the seller had honestly reported the true
financial profile of the property, Pallas would most definitely not have
purchased the Gooseberry Mine for mining purposes.

To:
Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa
Mr.
[Hector] Campbell was told by the Storey County officials that they had orders
from the Attorney General's office that they were not to accept any
monies for the payment of taxes on behalf of Pallas. They further stated
that taxes were now $42,876 rather than the $28,000 when Pallas began
its campaign to get its taxes paid through its then attorney, Andy
Boles, beginning in early 2000. Two contact names given were those of
George Taylor, Deputy Attorney General, and a David Gaskins. Gaskins is
apparently "an" author of the increase of Pallas' bond by the
incredible amount of $287,000 without
justification, to a new total of $556,556. This compares with $0 for
Asamera over the years - who did all the mining.
This
astounding revelation coming from Storey County was the first time
Pallas was informed from "an official source" that the
Attorney General's offices were indeed laying the groundwork for
perpetrating a surreptitious "taking" of Pallas' properties
...
To
date, all of the State's representatives have refused to look at the
underlying fraud perpetrated by Asamera Minerals as it mis
characterized the Gooseberry Property and, as it turns out, to both
Pallas and the State, as well.
As a
Democrat, it is interesting to note the close ties between the
Clinton White House and the Nevada State delegation of Democrats.
Clinton allowed the Scientology "church" cult to write off
back taxes of over $1,000,000,000 (as in billion), and gave it tax
exempt status; this despite court rulings to the contrary.
When
you learned that the criminal Scientology "church"/cult,
whose president is currently on trial in Spain for fraud, was
involved in my cases that date back to 1987, you should have
immediately called for an investigation for possible racketeering
and defrauding of our shareholders.

Reading
over your prepared statement presented to the U.S. House of
Representatives' Committee on Resources, Subcommittee on Energy &
Mineral Resources, March 28, 2000, and comparing it to what you told
Judge Fondi in an Affidavit dated July 9, 1999, clearly shows the
ability to shift positions as the occasion dictates.
Driesner
had always been welcomed to the Gooseberry before, and at no time were
you ever denied access as you claimed. The "incident" with an
armed guard that you cited to the Judge appears to be a manufactured
ruse.

No mining
has taken place at the Gooseberry Mine since the prior owner, Asamera
Inc., sold the property to Pallas in 1993. Further mining including
recovery of gold or other minerals at the site is not currently
economically feasible. Closure of the mine and its reclamation is now
the next step.

account was named in the Judgment, was eventually fired by Pallas.

criminal complaint:
This
complaint is lodged this date against George Hodge and Arthur White for
continued criminal vandalism, theft, trespassing, and many other
wrongful acts that continue to occur at the Gooseberry Mine Property ...
Our
review during this week involved photographing additional VANDALISM and
damages to electrical wires and equipment, to name a few.
Person(s)
have been in our offices recently and files have come up missing.
New
occurrence on April 23, 2002:
On
Tuesday morning, Art White, George Hodge, and some guy from Texas were
observed breaking and entering into our locked offices.
New
occurrence on April 25, 2002:

undetermined quantity of additional boxes of information, legal files,
books, furniture, and many other items were taken that appear to require
at least the capacity of a pickup truck ...

... Boles
had no assets to assign or [authority to] give the State and its
associates any equipment.
(He) was
not authorized to make an agreement with the State of Nevada on any
properties ...

... you
have deliberately used your position for self- serving purposes. You
have worked with criminal elements to acquire Pallas' properties without
consideration.
You have
participated in preventing Pallas from handling and directing its own
monies, paying its Storey County taxes, and have had an active role in
the continued financial mishandling and obstruction. The result has been
that Pallas' monies in the form of cash, checks, barter, labor and
exchange of favors, have
been moved about among several parties including yourself, where you
acted as "kingpin" for the operation.
You were
"brought out of retirement" by the State who needed a
"middleman" to illicitly sell "untagged" and other
of Pallas' personal properties not listed as Collateral. For a
commission and presumably other considerations, you have been and
continue to be willing to oblige the State, BLM, and Storey County
despite obvious conflicts of interest and aid them in their destruction
of our properties in any way you can.

than the 34 pieces earmarked and accepted as collateral on August 1,

A letter
dated April 26, 2004, was sent to John Unverzagt demanding that he remit
monies due to Pallas immediately. It anticipated that Unverzagt, a
private contractor to the State, and a major conflict of interest, was
either holding or had submitted Pallas' monies to the Bond Pool. Pallas
is unsure where its monies are being held since no legitimate trust has
ever been set up as prescribed by Nevada State Law.
Worse yet
is the fact that no accounting has ever been provided to Pallas. That
situation continues to date notwithstanding a court order to provide
this accounting issued on May 2, 2002.

Upon
receiving information from you regarding the Brownfields grant
application and the Cooperative Agreement by the Nevada Division of
Environmental Protection (NDEP) and Storey County, Nevada (applicants),
we note many significant misstatements, nondisclosures, and an overall
coverup pertaining to our company's Gooseberry properties for which the
$350,000 Brownfields assessment grant was issued.
A
detailed review of the grant information filed by the Applicants shows
that this is a very serious attempt to take over our properties without
compensation, as these applicants have been attempting to do employing
various unworkable schemes since 1998.
Their
submittals are so much propaganda extolling the virtues of their
intentions and leave no doubt as to their partialities. There are so
many false statement and illusions as they dress up their takeover
presentation that it is impractical to answer them all in this Letter of
Complaint.
However,
a few notable misrepresentations are:
1. The
property is abandoned. This is false as our people have lived there
since 1999.
2.
The statements in the Brownfields 2005 Grant Fact Sheet are a
mischaracterization of our Gooseberry Mine properties ...
[For
instance,] ... tax delinquent - Pallas' unpaid taxes were caused by
the applicants, as they conspired to obstruct these payments in
order to gain the property for nothing and then gift over to the
developers and their political cronies at a deeply discounted price.
