Would someone like to comment or speculate on the possibilities here? The benefits, the pros and cons.

One thought that I've had is to ask…… "are we dealing here with the come-and-goes of business dealings or are we getting plugged into the goings on in the Russian political situation"

Question for the research-minded: who is Yanchukov?

It would be tough for him to flip this kind of volume.  To accumulate his shares he ran the price up by roughly $.25 or 40% (see this post on Agoracom http://agoracom.com/ir/WhiteTi…..90#message ).  He would likely have to take a similar hit to sell of his shares.  Also as an insider there are some serious limitations as to how/when he can sell the shares. 

Does anyone have any idea as to who anonymous is? Keeps buying higher then what he/she sells for. Why would someone buy at .89 for example then turnaround and sell at .87? I want to know who anonymous is working for.

On another note does anyone have access to level 1?

For level 2 what website or program do ya'll use? I'm currently using stockhouse for level 2 but if there is something better i would greatly appreciate it.

Yes, they control 57.3 %….. BUT……. are they "together"?  With such a rapid activity lately, are we seeing the start of a change? 

Personally, I like the way SY is entering.  He's buying his way in on the open and free, transparent market with no antics causing share dilution.  Is this the beginning of a new era amongst shareholders?

Time will tell, time will tell……..

"Prosecutors have met him at the airport.He vowed to repay debts, but … "

November 20,2009

In the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District for the first time since thecrisis began over wage debts taken into custody by the head of the oilcompanies: they became the head of NC "Mangazeya" Sergei Yanchukov, whopreferred not to invest in workers and in the currency. Today, Krasnoselkupskydistrict leader in the district on the amount of unpaid wages. And it's not justbecause Yanchukovnot paying local workers, but also because he has translatedmore than one hundred employees who have been reported in Moscow, in the Yamal"Mangazeya" (!). Now Muscovites have to seek the truth in the far north, and thegovernment – to disentangle mess that stirred negligent employer. But that's notall. As it became known «URA.Ru», lenders are already overwhelmed Yamalarbitration claims to "Mangazeya" and on the part of the company's assetsseized. All the details – in our material.

The new "hot spot" in theYamalo-Nenets Autonomous District. As previously reported «URA.Ru», November 18general director of OOO "MCD-group" Sergei Yanchukov, who is also head of thepermanent executive body of JSC "NC" Mangazeya "(Krasnoselkupsky district), inthe courtroom was taken into custody. Earlier on Yanchukov was prosecuted by thefirst part, Article 145.1 of the Criminal Code (failure to pay wages for morethan two months) and part one of Article 201 of the Criminal Code (abuse ofauthority).

As reported by Department of Investigation UPC RF YANAOYanchukovfrom July to September 2009 did not pay wages to employees 83"Mangazeya." Total debt amounted to about 18.5 million. Debt was not the companyis critical. The investigation established that the accounts of the company inJuly-September had the required amount. But in this period Yanchukovspent topurchase foreign currency 21 million rubles and more than 168 million rublesspent on payments to suppliers.

«URA.Ru» learned the details of the detentionof Sergei Yanchukov. How to tell our agency a few sources in Krasnoselkup whenNovember 18 came Yanchukovthe local airport, where it was met by the districtprosecutor. "They took him to the office" Mangazeya, where a meeting of theworkforce. Yanchukovworkers vowed to repay all the debts before the New Year "-eyewitnesses. But it did not save him. Then he was taken to a local court, whichruled the measure of restraint in the form of arrest.

Meanwhile, the debt"Mangazeya" to its employees much more than 21 million rubles. As the pressservice of the governor of Yamal, payable on November 11, the oil company was 30million 840 thousand rubles for 236 (!) People. As told «URA.Ru» one of theformer employees' Mangazeya "on the Yamal Peninsula, in fact, running a total ofabout 90 people, and a sharp increase in the number of staff, registered in thedistrict, was to address Sergei Yanchukov:" In April this year, the team headcompany "MCD-Group" in Moscow announced that the capital company disbands.Everyone asked to leave and go to work at "Mangazeya" since May. " In the Moscowoffice people do not get paid since April.

A tricky decision Yanchukov – anew headache for the authorities and supervisory agencies in Yamal. Previously,they had to face another problem: for example, they could not help workers YamalMining Company "Northern Expedition", as the leadership of the companyre-registered it in Moscow. Now the authorities will have to beat North debtsnot only to its residents, but also for the Muscovites. By the way, the criminalproceedings were instituted against Yanchukov just the complaints of workers'Mangazeya. " Promptly on the Yamal Peninsula and they have responded LabourInspectorate, and the prosecutor, and court bailiffs. We also know that somestaff had already appealed to the courts to recover arrears of wages.

By theway, as they say sources «URA.Ru», Sergey Yanchukovhas made "an attempt" torestore the position in the company. The only method was to reduce staff. Onlyin Krasnoselkup unemployed has increased by 20 persons. In this caseimmediately, "Mangazeya" started recruiting new staff, and say that treaties arenow spelled out an open date of termination.

It is noteworthy that theproblem with "Mangazeya" not only with debts to employees, but also with debtsto contractors. As follows from the Court of Arbitration Yamal, from April thisyear, with statements of debt collection with the "Mangazeya" appealed to thecourt about a dozen different companies. Total amount – nearly 100 millionrubles, according to some claims requirements have been met, on the other – thecourts are continuing. At any time, sources said, creditors may require thebankrupt company's Yamal.

So, incidentally, happened to another asset"MCD-Group" – LLC "Quantum Oil" (Nizhnevartovsk region, Khanty-Mansi AutonomousDistrict). The amount payable to budgets and contractors in this enterpriseamounted to more than 380 million rubles, it was introduced by observation. ButSergei Yanchukov able to pay its creditors, and in August this year theproduction of the bankruptcy case was dismissed, to the materials of thearbitral tribunal Ugra.

Perhaps Sergei Yanchukovkeep the oath which thestaff, and problems on the Yamal "MCD-Group" and "Mangazeya" is also resolved.«URA.Ru» will monitor the situation.

November 15,2011
Sergei Yanchukov increased its stake in White TigerGold by 11 percent, former"Gazprom's" top manager wasone of the largest shareholders.

Earlier, Sergei Yanchukov owned 29.2 million common shares, 3.5 millionof whom were under the pledge. Through two companies controlled by them in the autumn ofthis year, the businessman boughtadditional 6.8 million securities White Tiger Gold. Purchases are made on the Toronto trading floor and directly from the company's shareholders.

http://www.brainity.ru/person/…..ews/14180/

The address named in the article, Moscow,Sholokhova str., 7 is a block of flats. There are nomatches for the address combined with the name Yanchukov. He could residethere.

It gives a feeling that he is in a hurry n doesn't mind to run up the price as long as he has the volume. My second guess is he hasn't got the full quantity of shares he has in mind n will likely continue to soak up what he hasn't own yet. Next week $1.30?

Fredericton's.."..could it be that Yanchukov is going after Maxim Finskiy.."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
An interesting view point but seems highly unlikely. Reasons are:-
1)Yan is building up his share size in the open and Max, the whole world knows exactly every hair he has.
2)Max will not let his majority ownership slips n as long as this holds, Max fears no one
My take is:-
a)Max told Yan that as he had already sold him a fair lot at +-0.45 for friendship, he (Yan) has to buy them from others(in the open market) if he wants more
b)Yan really wants more as he knows all the Russian assets better than anyone( besides Max of course) and the Lamarque n Peru assets are transparent enough for all investors to know (+ he possibly knows the hidden part of Lamarque of which we are positively suspicious of)
c)Yan is comfortable Max and the assets will make him money. If not, why pile onto something knowing full well you will be squeezed since the other party has more than 51%
d)I am mindful that in Yan's venture into Canadian gold stocks he possibly has not bought anything from dear Mr Rob McEwen yet? n the possible reasons are he knows  all the assets n he knows Max.
So all in all my take is:-
I)Yan wants to make big money
II)He believes the assets are right
III)He is comfortable with fellow comrade Max and believes Max n the assets will make him money
IV)should he soak up more shares possibly up to 20%?, shares in retailers will shrink considerably. As such, it is likely that with a timely catalyst, the scramble for the remaining "loose" shares in the open market will be  explosive to the SP. I seem to see something to this end already happening.
This is my take n I hope I am right.

Glenfidish

We all have our conjectures and our takes. As there are always so much to ponder upon, I am more inclined to take the view– that the simplest being the most probable . N based on all facts, NRs, factors, basic investor instinct for monetary rewards n fame etc etc, I am positive for things to come and as such I am holding onto every share originally bought, have not added more share recently but never sold one either. As U had said, all these interactions help me a lot too n my sincere thanks to all who have posted all these months/years. The one I miss much is Prod05.

At this writing WTG = $1.12  a nice looking and sounding number.

Realityis however,  WTG @ 1.12 = LamJuan @ $ .45 ( Recall those dismal days?)

For me, let WTG reach $2.07 where the LamJuan assets were and then continue to WTG = $3.75 which was where the consensus was that LamJuan could achieve on its own.

If WTG can then proceed to further enhance shareholder value taking into account the Russian assets, then and only then will I concede that the Merger has the potential to be worth all the grief.

Until then, Major and his misManagement team will not have substantiated their existence nor paid their way.

Like Wingfong, I still hold my shares with expectations that sanity, reality and good Management will set in.  I still hold CMM warrants @ 60 cents or WTG= $1.50, expiring in March 2012. 

Bottomline, performance and enhanced shareholder value is where it is at.  The rest is just fluff.

Summary

WTG @ $1.12 = CMM @ .45

WTG @ $3.75 = CMM @ $1.50

Daniel Major has not paid his way.

It's good to see the share price gaining strength. Hopefully the resistance
is above $1 from now on until we hit the $2 mark.

One good thing about his moves is that he did all his recent buying on the open market. Perhaps he knows something that the rest of us will soon find out. We shall see.

Hey guys good evening!

Well i wanted to leave you with an idea or a thought about what i think is happening. I mentioned a while back that we would hit 1.30-1.50 and possibly two bucks alone with volume from RBC but more specifically Sergey on the buy. This has in fact been happening and will be accomplished fairly quickly.

Here is what im seeing. First and mostly im no expert in charts! I do believe that the next medium to heavy resistance comes in at 1.30. If Sergey and RBC decide to buy this resistance, it  will be long forgotten. A sergey buy of 400,000 common at that level will clear the way. The next "Heavy" resistance comes in at 1.50. Here is were i believe there will be a battle and many long time holders will want out. But again all i think it will take is a million or so from Sergey and resistance down. The heaviest resistance will come in at 2 bucks.. At that point, i expect great news to be released and Sergey+RBC to go on attack mode in buying. I just get the sense something great is about to happen. 3-4 million+ in reserves at 4.5 grams per tons would be ideal.. Maybe im dreaming . We shall se but something is brewing.

Let us not forget that WTG@$1.19 = CMM @ .48  and we are dealing with individual who have not gained our trust and we are yet to see performance, performance, performance.

Let us keep our perspective.

…………………………

As an afterthought and to nt300's following comment, we were all concerned when we felt that the SP was being manipulated downward in preparation for the Merger…….there is now a convincing commentary that the price is now being manipulated upwards.

……..hear no EVIL, speak no EVIL, see no EVIL, manipulation is EVIL
