The Major 1993 Utah Medley Court Frauds and Crimes
As Pursuant to the Theft of the Historic Requa/Herbert Hoover Files
Addendum Complaint II – January 2, 2013
Subsequent to Criminal Complaint of December 17/18 and Addendum Complaint of December 23, 2012
Part I: Introduction & Summary
The Requa/Herbert Hoover Files:
Aka: The Requa/Hoover/Milbank/Lewisohn/Steen/Bunker-Hill Files — as complied by four
generations of Requa family members with former U.S. President/Geologist Herbert Hoover,
Hoover sons Herbert and Alan, Jeremiah Milbank Sr, Jeremiah Milbank Jr., Combined Metals
Reduction Company, Oscar Lewisohn, Lewisohn Bros, Charles Steen, Combined Metals Co., El
Paso Gas, Bunker Hill Mining Company, and numerous others.
During the 1930s Herbert Hoover (following his White House years) with fellow geologist Mark L.
Requa — who had engineered Hoover’s 1928 nomination for the presidency and his subsequent
campaigns — developed the Mercur Gold Mine in Utah into production; and, they had spent under
management by Lawrence K. Requa (in 1930’s dollars) over $1,000,000. Production was then shortly
thereafter curtailed due to metallurgical difficulties not possible then to solve, but that then were
possible to solve in the 1970s when Getty Oil acquired the mine properties.
The comprehensive mining data of the 1930s that defined the gold resources was then provided to them
by Lawrence Requa, unused for 40 years. It was this Mercur Mine, and the Requa/Hoover data on the
established gold reserves to be produced there, upon which basis Barrick Gold (having acquired rights
to the mine from Getty Oil) then went public in 1983. Mercur had been a mine “set to go” since the
1930s. In 1985 Barrick closed their agreement with Getty and paid $31 million with royalties
(considered to have been a “fire sale” price). A news article from the time is noted by the link below:

The Requa/Herbert Hoover Files were consolidated by the Requa family from its one hundred years
of mining activities throughout the Western Hemisphere from Alaska to Bolivia. It detailed thousands
of gold and other mineral showings and mines that were deemed of merit for further mining exploration
and/or development, some having been put into noteworthy mining production from the 1930s to 1970s
— or into then-pending mining production — by the Requas, the Hoover family, the Milbanks, the
Lewisohns, Charles Steen, and the many other mining interests allied with them. These were the most
major mining financiers of their time — expending their essentially-limitless available mining finance
funds in both exploration and development. Hoover and Mark Requa in 1928 and early 1930s (White
House Years), and Hoover with L.K. Requa after Mercur in Idaho in late 1930s at their mine site there:
1
In 1993 it is certain that this compilation of data from almost a century by four generations of Requa
family comprised the most extensive — and largely still unexploited — database for gold exploration
and development in the world. As such, it was viewed by those knowledgeable about it as the most
valuable mining database for the Western Hemisphere — certain to provide the critical data basis for
producing many gold, silver, and base metal mines throughout the Hemisphere — such as at the
Mercur Gold Mine — that Barrick Gold went public on, based on that 1930s data, and then began
producing over 100,000 ounces of gold a year.
The great value of the combined Requa/Hoover Files — with just one of its documented mines made
possible to take public in 1983 by the now-largest gold mining company in the world — consisted of
similar data on many hundreds of mining sites throughout the Western Hemisphere. The Mercur Mine
data had been acquired in the 1930s by Hoover, Mark Requa, and Lawrence Requa. Data on these
additional hundreds of mining sites was acquired by the additional expenditures of the greatest possible
funds available then in mining by the greatest mining capitalists of the era up through the 1970s: the
Milbanks, Hoovers, the Lewisohns, Charles Steen, and others. Well into the hundreds of millions of
dollars had been spent to acquire the data in the Requa/Hoover Files as of 1993, when the blatant court
crimes (now irrefutably to be seen in the Utah Medley Court) occurred to conduct the covert judicial
theft of these files.
Those organizing these court crimes, as now demonstrated, with the criminalization of Judge Medley
and other lawyers — and covertly from behind the scenes — were the lawyers of Ray Quinney &
Nebeker (RQN). Also covertly behind the scenes, they then organized the theft of the files by having
the walls of the bank vaults containing them to be knocked down with heavy equipment. The lawful
holder of the files at that time, Stephen H. Requa (son of Lawrence) through Banner International —
was at that time even experiencing attempts on his life, as documented and narrated in his 2009 book
The Great American Gold Grab (www.greatgoldgrab.com). These many crimes against the company
and personally against Stephen Requa were also being facilitated and instigated by criminalized
members of the FBI in Utah (and also in California), as detailed in the published book of 2009, as well
documented and evidenced — and complained about to several FBI offices during the 1990s and
2000s.
It is now clear that RQN and its allied mining interests were keenly aware of the great value of the
Requa/Hoover Files and their mining data content; and, they were uniquely very well aware that just
one mine and its data detailed in those Files, on the Mercur Mine, had provided the basis for the nowlargest mining company in the world — Barrick Gold — to go public in 1983. Great fortunes, they
knew, were to be won by those who controlled the Requa/Hoover Files. The value of the Files had been
proved already to be very great. The great crimes to steal them are explainable by their already known
and demonstrated value — albeit as known by very few excepting, uniquely, those large mining
companies involved in the Mercur Gold Mine and by the lawyers at RQN.
With RQN’s now-evident established ability to corrupt Utah judges, courts, and FBI persons, they had
assumed that their theft of the Requa/Hoover Files through the judicial crimes of Judge Medley and
their accomplices in his court could not be exposed or challenged — even as blatantly criminal as they
were. This is evidentiary of extensive and long-standing criminalization of the Utah judiciary.
Established impunity of offending in Utah courts and by Utah judges, and within the Utah FBI is
evident in these events. The major Utah news media exposures of this status at the Utah FBI have
recently been made, as of evidence in the Criminal Complaint of Dec 17, 2012.
2
This impunity and ability to cover up such unprecedented court crimes was to be the case from 1993
until 2012 when the Sworn Affidavits of Steven C. Davis revealed exactly where the Requa/Hoover
Files had gone after the Medley Court frauds and related crimes: secretly to the offices of RQN where,
during the 1990s the Files were being evaluated by the very prominent geologist Dr. Clyde Davis,
father of the present Affiant, who had visited RQN many times with his son to evaluate the stolen files.
These facts are now incontrovertible, and as confirmed by other means. RQN in 1993 engineered the
Medley Court crimes (from behind the scenes with a corrupt FBI agent) in order to steal the R/H Files,
and then did so — and thus RQN did receive the Files (secretly) and used them for their certain great
economic benefit thereafter, with many gold mines certain to have been acquired and developed based
on them — as they knew had happened in Utah at the Mercur Mine.
Noted geologist John Prochnau in a recorded interview has stated the following regarding the Requa
family and these files:
“Lawrence Requa who was Stephen’s father was a very well known mining geologist in Nevada
and throughout the world and the third generation of a family of very prominent mining engineers
and entrepreneurs that began with the great grandfather who came to California in the Gold Rush
and had a very successful career in developing mines there, and following with the grandfather
Mark Requa who was an associate and very close friend, business associate, and campaign
manager for Herbert Hoover, another famous American mining engineer who became President
of the United States in 1928 to 1932.
“Stephen Requa showed me the Requa/Hoover Files. They were stored in his office in the Bay
Area. There was a very large room full of filing cabinets and Steve showed me several of these
that contained files on various properties that his father has examined in the past…and in my
view they probably contained very valuable information. That kind of information is of
extraordinary interest and value. I think the real value of those files is that they provided
information that's not available from any other source, including any modern technique
that you can imagine, because it involves investigations of former workings that are now
inaccessible and can never be re-sampled. That's where the real value lies.
Regarding his experience with these files prior the judicial crimes of 1993, geologist Dan McCullar has
also stated in the same series of interviews the following:
"In the late 1980’s Steve came to my house on numerous occasions. He spent the field seasons,
the summers, in Nevada collecting rock samples and trying to map out the conceptual models that
he would develop over the winter from all the data he would collect over the summer. He would
also bring by files that he would find in the database his father had left him, the Requa/Hoover
Files. There was always something of great interest that he would find. He spoke of the enormity
of their volume and how he had just begun to scratch the surface of these files. Some of these
files would be typed paper, some bound volumes. I remember seeing handwritten notes from his
father, some in pencil, some in pen, maps, lots of exclamation points, underlines, and identifying
marks that would indicate that certain files were of extreme importance, that their prospective
nature was of high value.
"I remember specifically files from Central America and Honduras, the fact that Honduras was
heavily forested and his father has spent an enormous amount of time travelling the rivers and
3
hiking up the river valleys, mapping the outcrops, describing the mineralised areas that would not
be easily seen by air photos. There were also volumes of files from Nevada, Idaho, and
California, Arizona, and New Mexico, files from Bolivia. The varied nature of these files
and the wide geographic range just spoke of the prolific nature of his grandfather’s and
father’s investigative methods.
"In 1991 I had an opportunity to visit Stephen in his apartment in Woodside and saw the files. He
had moved them into a series of fire-proof vaulted filing cabinets that were extremely heavy. I
remember Steve having strained his back at one time, having a very painful back injury trying to
move one of these filing cabinets. They took up an entire wall of the apartment. I remember there
being quite a lot of concern that anybody else would even know the existence here of these files
as Stephen discovered the value of the large number of important files. He became more and
more concerned all the time that someone else was going to discover their existence here.
"He pulled open numerous drawers. We spent several hours looking through many files. They
were all very carefully categorized by geographic regions. He would pull out some files that had
the most amazing things written by his father, notes attached, some paper clipped attached, some
type written pages, descriptions of individual areas, some hand drawn maps, some published
maps with handwritten notes on the maps that identified geologic features on the maps. There was
no question that there was a huge amount of data present and that it was not easy to move this
volume of data from place to place.
"It was clear that the greatest value of the company was in these files and that once we
could get the mines in operation in Osceola and/or Merritt Mountain, that the value for our
company’s future was in trying to exploit some of the data that had never been investigated
with modern mining technology.
"It was a very exciting time. We were certain that the company had a very bright future,
and we were looking forward to quite a prosperous and exciting future in the mining
industry based on the files the Stephen had inherited".
The magnitude of the alleged and now clearly established Medley Court and RQN crimes (and by
their accomplices) is plainly evident as named in the Criminal Complaints of December 17 and
December 23, 2012.
The Events Regarding the Prior Banner International:
Criminal Complaints to the FBI and others during the 1990s had been made in the face of this flagrant
corruption in the Medley Court. On December 28, 2005, the following comments from Dr. William F.
Pepper were received
“Subsequent to my retention in 1999 by Banner shareholders to evaluate the take-over of Banner
International in 1993 and since my reporting to you in 2000 on my findings, many events have
transpired, new factors have been identified, and new legal discoveries made….
“During these intervening years new discoveries have arisen which appear to specifically identify
those interests in Utah and California who were the behind-the-scenes powers in arranging for
the judicial irregularities of the 1993 Utah receivership itself in 1993, which had no basis in
either legitimate insolvency law or in the requirements of due process”.
4
“The continuing actions of the take-over principals and their agents from 2000 to the present
would appear to toll the relevant statutes of limitations, as would do the ongoing personal torts
and offences against Stephen Requa as the former CEO and majority shareholder of Banner
International. The ongoing conspiracy to defraud Banner shareholders, first evidenced in 1993,
was again evidenced and renewed by the nature of the events in the dissolution of Osceola Gold
in 2000. Obstructions of justice and tortious interference with Stephen Requa may also be viewed
as continuing acts.
“Civil redress aside, some of the acts may well rise to the level of criminal conduct.
It is now in 2012 evidenced and certain that the acts from the beginning in 1993 had risen to
the level of criminal conduct.
In 2000, after first retaining lawyer William F. Pepper, he had written to the Banner shareholders as
follows:
“There is little doubt that Stephen and the original shareholders had the rights to some very
valuable mining properties in the Osceola, Merritt Mountain, and Zona Jalaca claims. In addition,
the Requa-Hoover Files appear to have constituted an asset of inestimable value. It is also
doubtless that at one point in 1990, Stephen was introduced to the first of a group of sharks [who]
co-opted others and that by late 1991—early 1992—the group had grown and formulated a plan
to fraudulently manipulate and/or deny Stephen and his supporters of their assets. Gradually,
Stephen was isolated, harassed, and forced into a corner by a concerted effort of forces which
engaged in a wide range of aggressive activities which Stephen was simply unable to counter on
his own….”
“The result of the receivership cost the original Banner shareholders dearly since the claims and
the Requa-Hoover files were transferred into a corporation effectively owned and controlled by
the very people who—even some without standing—initiated the receivership. Even the receiver
himself—Richard Casper—became an officer of the new company.”
Just prior to the Utah court crimes, the company was also having discussions with Peruvians
regarding Peruvian mining companies developing some of the gold properties in the Central American
countries, based on data in the Requa/Hoover Files there, which detailed 200 prospects in the reports by
Lawrence K. Requa.
John Prochnau has commented on these events as following:
”Stephen in 1991 was invited through an associate Carlos Rodriguez Pastor who I believe was a
former finance minister of Peru to attend a reception for President Fujimori in San Francisco and
we attended that reception with Steve and several other associates with Banner at the time.
Following the reception there was a private meeting with President Fujimori in his suite in his
hotel which was the Saint Francis. We were invited to attend that private meeting. We were
introduced to the President and subsequently had a little get together with cocktails with a number
of other San Francisco dignitaries.
”President Fujimori and former finance minister Pastor had expressed interest in the
Hoover/Requa Files and the extensive information they included and contained regarding certain
properties in Central America. President Fujimori was interested in introducing Steve and Banner
5
to a number of Peruvian companies that were interested in investing in that part of the world and
utilising those files as a basis for that.
“In the early 1990s the [mining] industry in Latin America had been floundering from lack of
investment for some time largely because of political systems that were not particularly
favourable to foreign investment. In the 1990’s with the change in the global scene that followed
the fall of the Soviet Union, a number of new regimes came into power in Latin America that
included Fujimori in Peru whose policies were more oriented to an open market. So this meant
that there was increased interest by the international mining community in investing in countries
like Peru and Central American countries that had very great mineral endowment but a lack of
investment for some time. This of course made Stephen Requa and Banner’s possession of
proprietary information in the Hoover/Requa Files of extreme value”
From 2000 to 2006 Stephen Requa was able to acquire new Nevada claims covering the older BI
claims that had been held by the take-over people. This was made possible because the take-over group
employed a geologist of little mining experience who failed to properly maintain the Merritt Mountain
claims; and, the most important areas at Osceola for gold deposits they had not even covered by their
new claims. This allowed Requa to file new valid claims to cover the targets at both Osceola and
Merritt Mountain. Since then, these claims at Osceola and Merritt Mountain have been properly
maintained and there is no possible challenge to them. All necessary documentation from federal and
state agencies to document these holdings is extant.
The gold targets for drilling at Osceola are estimated, in the documentation as may be seen, to
contain the prospective in-tact remaining lode-gold source of the historical placer gold (that was mined
in the 1890s) with, as still remaining, perhaps 3 million ounces of gold.
Following the advice from William Pepper, and for some years before, many complaints were
made with several FBI authorities and other state officials in three states. These included criminal
complaints regarding observed actions of FBI persons in 1993 and afterwards in apparent assistance
and instigation of the 1993 Medley Court Frauds. These are of record. Much of the communications
with FBI agents is detailed in full in the book, The Great American Gold Grab
(www.greatgoldgrab.com) which contains a Home Page interview of Stephen Requa in 2009 when the
book was published.
Very unexpectedly in November 2012, a key witness appeared and provided Sworn Affidavits as
to where the files had in fact been covertly and secretly moved after the court fraud (by persons in the
background) who engineered those crimes and then secretly acquired all the Requa/Hoover Files.
They had also instigated others (of recorded evidence), also criminally, to allege decoy R/H
Files elsewhere for record in the Medley Court, while alleging the decoy files (alleged to be all the
original ones) to be essentially worthless and of little scope. This was a ploy to deceive
shareholders at that time, as made of record in court filing in 1993, 1994, and after.
With these present Sworn Affidavits, and with other confirming evidence making them
incontrovertible, the two Criminal Complaints recently and presently to date have been provided to two
U.S. Attorneys and to the U.S. Consul in Barcelona.
These complaints allege and assert that the Utah law firm of Ray Quinney & Nebeker organized
and instigated, covertly and criminally in the background, with corrupt FBI agents’ assistance, the 1993
Medley Court frauds on Banner International; and, then as alleged through devious and criminal means
6
arranged to have all the Requa/Hoover Files covertly moved to RQN offices from their bank vault
storage vaults — after using heavy equipment to break the bank walls down. Stephen Requa had had
the only combinations to the foot thick steel doors.
Thus, the Judge Medley Court crimes and those of that court’s now identified and alleged
corruptors from behind the scenes — the law firm of Ray Quinney & Nebekker (RQN) — are
alleged in fact (with corrupt FBI assistance) to have engineered the greatest imaginable of bank
robberies.
With the assistance of the corrupt FBI agents, they have kept these unprecedented crimes covered
up for 19 years — with the commission of many more crimes up to the present. RQN and the involved
FBI persons are now alleged to have been, in fact, also CIA operatives with CIA allied mining
companies, and to have obtained many gold mines throughout the Western Hemisphere based on their
thus-stolen Requa/Hoover Files.
It is thus now anticipated and believed certain that gold mining properties in many states and
countries will be identified as those where these companies and interests have gold mining operations
and interests that they have acquired (and likely developed) based on files from the Requa/Hoover
legacy — as Getty Oil and Barrick Gold had done at the Mercur Mine in Utah, and then taking Barrick
Gold public in 1983 based on this data. They thereby established the great value of the R/H Files and
made it ripe for judicial frauds and theft by those capable of such judicial crimes, as then transpired
with the evidenced organization by RQN in 1993.
Locating any mining operations or acquisitions having been based on the Requa/Hoover Files
that then resulted in new mines, and mines now in development, will allow us to seek an interest in
such mines or outright claim to them. We believe that some mining projects — those initiated by
corrupt entities aware of the unlawful source of the data — may be subject to direct claim in total
through legal actions (especiallyfrom those still aligned with RQN).
Other projects and operations, likely to include others being conducted by some major mining
and oil companies, may also be subject to actions for both compensation and carried interests in those
operations, being able at minimum to obtain any and all RQN interests in those mines. Tracking the
trail of the Requa/Hoover Files and their geologic data, after their theft in 1993, will therefore now be
an important objective that is expected to yield large results. We anticipate that the U.S. Attorneys will
feel obliged to assist.
Presently with the breakthrough evidence in the Sworn Affidavits, we thus expect an array of
criminal prosecutions by the U.S. Attorney.
Given the plainly evidenced criminal involvement of some corrupted agents within the FBI, we
can also only expect that the Department of Justice may move swiftly to eliminate the risk for claims
against the FBI — by making settlements.
Part II: Historical Details of Record Regarding the Evolution of the Requa/Herbert
Hoover Files
Said defrauded assets as set forth of record herewith include exploration data, not
previously summarised, and compiled by Lawrence K. Requa with very great
7
expenditures of funds over considerable time in association with Lewisohn Bros. of New
York City. Founders of said firm included those of note at: link
http://www.immigrantentrepreneurship.org/entry.php?rec=47 with this excerpt of public record about
that said firm´s very notable and historically illustrious founders of great wealth:
Adolph Lewisohn (born May 27, 1849 in Hamburg; died August 17, 1938 in Upper
Saranac Lake, NY) was a Hamburg-born German-American businessman who,
together with his brother Leonard (1847-1902), once led one of the most important
and profitable copper companies in the United States. In the 1880s, their company,
Lewisohn Bros., broke new ground in the electrolytic processing of copper and
helped a whole industrial process take root in the American copper industry.
Through their involvement in the Butte & Boston Consolidated Mining Company
(B&B), the Lewisohns increased their stake in the industry and managed to
accumulate a significant fortune in the brief period between 1887 and 1900. After
Leonard’s death in 1902, Adolph Lewisohn managed the business on his own. In the
following years, however, he began to devote more of his time and efforts to
philanthropy, and he put his considerable riches in the service of an enormous
range of social, cultural, and educational initiatives. His charitable giving focused
primarily on institutions in New York City, where he lived for seventy years. Given
the extent of his philanthropic contributions to the city, some considered Lewisohn
“New York’s most useful citizen.”
L.K. Requa mining associate Adolf Lewison (and his successors at Lewisohn Bros.)
may thus also favourably be compared to his long-term associate Jeremiah Milbank who
(as previously of record to the Court) was likewise a mining financier of vast resources in
the former Pres. Herbert Hoover / Mark L. Requa sphere with the Lewisohns (and in the
later Herbert Hoover / Lawrence Requa sphere). As previously written of Jeremiah
Milbank has been the following:
“Of Jeremiah Milbank it will be perhaps news to most that the great
cinematographer Cecil B. DeMille wrote this of him: “There is a persistent myth that
capitalists think of nothing but capital . . . I have known a certain number of very rich
men who were scamps and a larger number who were just dullards; but two of the
finest men I have ever known, with the largest minds and highest ideals, were also men
of great financial power. One of them is Jeremiah Milbank”. For DeMille, Jeremiah
Milbank single-handedly financed one of the biggest Hollywood block-buster budgets of
all time in DeMille´s production in 1927 of King of Kings, the first major Hollywood
production with a cast of thousands based on the life of Jesus Christ. Such ability by
Milbank to expend vast capital was then, with Herbert Hoover and with famed
geologist L.K. Requa, turned to Central America and mining.”
It hardly needs clarifying that mining financiers of the utmost elite level and
financial capacities of unlimited scope such as these associated with Hoover, Jeremiah
Milbank, and Mark Requa had, quite plainly indeed, limitless funds to expend — which
translated into vast expenditures and compilations of unprecedented quantities of mining
and exploration data all under Lawrence Requa`s organization
8
The same mining financial capability consideration applied to Uranium Boom King
Charles Steen for whom Lawrence Requa quickly supplied one of his most trusted
surveyors to survey his discovery and claims immediately upon its discovery Steen`s
bonanza uranium discovery claims — the largest and richest discovery ever and at the
height of uranium prices in the 1950s. Said provision of a surveyor by Requa to Steen
(Clare Hagen) was made to avert any claim jumpers — who did arrive as expected, but to
no avail due to the expert surveying quickly arranged by Lawrence Requa. Charles Steen
then spent large capital, from his Bonanza, strike in Honduras under the geological
guidance of Lawrence Requa.
Exploration and mining data was thus compiled at the cost of hundreds of millions
of dollars of expense — over 70 years of the historical and famous Requa Family mining
operations. This data was all then held by Banner International in two bank vault rooms
with foot-thick steel doors. Under the covert judicial crimes of Medley/RQN/Caspar the
walls of the bank were then knocked down with heavy equipment because Stephen
Herrick Requa alone knew the combination to the locks on the foot thick steel doors. The
many hundreds of files were then plundered and — as of present Sworn Testimony —
secretly sent to RQN which had no standing whatsoever in these matters. They sought by
deception and device with Roger Bowers and Judge Medley to conceal these crimes —
while Caspar and Bowers maintained a flow of misrepresentations and deceptions to the
former Banner International shareholders, all of court record.
The true very large quantity of Requa/Hoover Files had been defrauded, as now
evidenced, by court theft and receivership fraud into the possession of RQN acting covertly
in the background, has been proved in the Sworn Affidavits of Steven C. Davis in — and
also by other incontrovertible evidence. The eminent geologist father of Davis had been
retained by RQN over a lengthy period to examine the true bulk of Requa/Hoover Files
(not being told they were in fact stolen) but that had been covertly subject to the judicial
theft by Medley/RQN et.al and were thus held at the Utah law office of RQN.
The picture below was taken of Lawrence Requa on a raft on the Tipuani River in a
major set of investigations and expeditions by Lawrence Requa in collaboration with the
aforesaid Lewisohn Bros, financiers of New York into that Bolivian district. Thus, on the
Tipuani River below is pictured Lawrence Requa undertaking the extended evaluations,
from historical records and new data to be made, of the very large gold mining potential
for that district with 33 million ounces of historical gold production.
9
It may be stated as 100% certain that mining data acquired by the richest of
financiers with limitless means and of such great resulting certain extent and value
would never not be swiftly employed. Its value to locate and develop new gold mines is far
too great. One way or another, the great data reserve and Requa/Hoover Files stolen by
Medley/RQN et.al would most certainly have been very well employed very quickly, as
the Sworn Affidavits of clearly make of incontrovertible evidence. And it would assuredly
have produced numerous new gold mining operations, as it had at the Mercur Gold mine
in Utah for Barrick Gold and for its going public.. Indicative of the value of the Tipuani
files gatherd by Requa is this 2008 commentary:
A 2008 Abstract Report states:
http://econgeol.geoscienceworld.org/content/56/7/1258.short
Abstract:
In addition to the gold-bearing placers associated with deposits of the present
drainage system, gold has been mined in the Tipuani region from a belt of Tertiary
conglomerate ("cangalli") filling the deep channel of a former stream whose original steep
gradient was further steepened by faulting and tilting during an episode of Andean uplift.
The conglomerate consists of cobbles and boulders of slate, granite, and quartzite which
together with finer-grained material are cemented by iron oxide; pay streaks have been
found both close to bedrock (folded Devonian shales) at the bottom of the main and
subsidiary channels, and at higher levels. High-temperature gold and tin lodes associated
with granitic batholiths in the headwater region of the Tipuani river are assumed to be
the source of metals in the cangalli.
This is what Lawrence Requa and Lewisohn Bros. spent very many millions of
dollars to evaluate regarding 33 million ounces already produced. The resulting data was
then stolen in 1993 by Judge Medley and RQN.
It is also certain that mining capitalists “of great financial power” as quoted by
Cecil B. Demille of Jeremiah Milbank, and who had given “enormous” donations to the
greatest number of charities in New York, as did Oscar Lewison, would most certainly
not have engaged with famed geologist Lawrence Requa (also the life-long mining
partner of geologist President Herbert Hoover) to acquire any less than the very greatest
amount of exploration and mining data that anyone then possibly could obtain. The
Medley Court statements of record by the court fraudsters are, demonstrably, ludicrous.
The ability by Milbank to expend vast capital was, with Herbert Hoover and
Requa, turned to Central America and mining as seen in the following page items:

Note above link.
** Fortune magazine calls the Milbank clan “one of the oldest, richest, most proper and least publicized in
the American business community”.
This work was greatly expanded by additional millions of dollars expended by U.S.
“Uranium Boom King” and mining magnate Charles Steen in both the evaluation of gold
mining opportunities and in the development of some of these to a present gold
production status. One of these provides a ready-made mine, with $14 million in present
dollar values having been expended by Steen, to bring this mine to gold production
status, with 9000 feet of underground workings in established gold deposits.
Geologist L.K. Requa was the third in a family line of famous U.S. mining
professionals and entrepreneurs. More remarkably, the magnitude of the expenditures
made by these mining professionals and financiers to produce their evaluations is to be
ascertained: into the hundred million dollar range and likely more.
This was an unprecedented sum for a geologist to commence regional evaluations of
Central America´s mining opportunities, and then to carry on the follow-up developments
that transpired from 1940 for over 30 years until 1970. Ascertaining the ability of L.K.
Requa to be availed of such unprecedented funds for such a venture at that time and for
such a length of time has resulted in the recognition that this derived from the prior
major U.S. historical events revolving around his father Mark L. Requa — who had in
fact organized the uppermost leadership of the largest U.S. oil industry corporations into
backing and then making Herbert Hoover the President of the United States. The
position and ability of Mark Requa to do this derived from his appointment by President
Woodrow Wilson in 1918 as the U.S. federal Oil Director to direct and allocate the entire
oil production of the U.S. during World War I. This is noted in one source below:
“To ensure adequate supplies, effective distribution, and appropriate allocation [of oil
during WW I], President Wilson appointed Mark L. Requa as the first Fuel administrator
(Secretary of Energy). His job was to create a working relationship between the
government and oil industry to accomplish the above goals. The close working
11
relationship that evolved was in marked contrast to the feud between the government
and Standard Oil years earlier”.

The appointment of Requa, his evolving rapport with all the leading oil men, and the very
great power he wielded throughout the oil industry leadership, is clarified in these
successive links to New York Times front page articles from January through March of
1918:

The extent of Herbert Hoover´s and Mark Requa`s joint access to the White House and to
some most remarkably powerful financiers even in 1917 has been determined from
records of Herbert Hoover´s appointment books that note his and Requa´s meetings with
President Woodrow Wilson and other powerful financiers from June through October of
1917:
These have shown the 1917 gatherings in Washington D.C. of Hoover, Requa,
Whitmarsh, Baruch, Warburg, President Woodrow Wilson:
Mark L Requa is listed with Hoover on June 6th, 7th, 8th, & 27th, 1917, and July 2, 1917 along with
Woodrow Wilson; on July 18, 1917 along with Theodore Whitmarsh who would become a director of the
Federal Reserve in 1931; and July 19th, 23rd, 28th, & 31st; Aug. 6th, 9th, 13, 14, 15th with Whitmarsh
again, and 18th, 21st, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 1917; Sept. 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 along with Bernard Baruch,
Sept 17,18,20,21,22, 24th along with James F. Byrnes, Sept. 25 along with Bernard Baruch. Oct. 1,2,3,4th
along with Bernard Baruch, Whitmarsh & War Industries Board, Oct 5,6,7th along with Woodrow
Wilson, Oct. 10,11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19th along with Paul M Warburg, etc. During the time just
following Mark L. Requa would be appointed to control the entire oil production and allocation of the
U.S. during WWI.
A few months later President Wilson appointed Mark L. Requa as Oil Director. After the
war Requa engaged in food relief programs with Hoover for Belgium and elsewhere.
During Hoover´s tenure as Commerce Secretary, Requa was then able to marshal the
support of the oil industry leadership to accomplish the nomination and election of
Hoover as President. In addition to Mark Requa, one of Hoover´s closest friends and
political allies was Jeremiah Milbank. Thus it was that Hoover and Milbank, with
essentially limitless means, then financed L.K. Requa to an unprecedented extent after
his father Mark´s death to undertake the mining development of Central America.
Thus, with these unprecedented funds held by Milbank, Hoover, Lewison Bros, and many
others, and then later with those of uranium magnate Charles Steen, a vast amount of
geological and mining work throughout Central America was done in the 1940´s through
the 1960´s covering over 100 sites. Mines were mined, gold reserves were established and
brought near to production, and opportunities almost certain to yield gold reserves and
gold mines were defined throughout the region.
