LAS VEGAS, Aug. 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 'Back to port with the treasure.' It's a refrain more often heard in the dialogue of the cast from a Disney film than a public company. But a declaration as such from the latter is indeed a rare and momentous event. For months, Marine Exploration has been slowly informing the market of its shipwreck exploration progress, teasing almost, as the prospect of some great find hovers amid the expectation. Each release seemed to inch ever closer to an epic find, treasure in hand, for the company's shareholders and the historically curious.
A company snapshot and editorial regarding Marine Exploration, Inc. (OTCBB:MEXP) and of interest to investors of gold and marine gold exploration equities Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. (Nasdaq:OMEX), Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:ABX), Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE:NEM), and Gold Fields Limited (NYSE:GFI) is available at www.SmallCapSentinel.com/mexp
And then came Thursday's news with the tantalizing declaration, "Our research vessel, R/V Hispaniola, is on the way back to port with the treasures."
The remark was the center of the release Marine's shareholders have been waiting for, hitting refresh on their quote screens since the company told them that it had found something big and more news was in the offing. Now, shareholders are forced to wait again, this time comforted by the word 'treasure' indubitably, but with no idea as to quantity or value.
Perhaps the second most compelling line of the release, 'the company will have photographs and videos of the artifacts available to its investors in the near future,' will have to be enough for an investor base who want to know a little more about their share of the treasure.
