Trading Symbol - VSE-MGJ Major General Resources & Ascot Resources Ltd. are pleased to announce the following encouraging results from De Beers Laboratory in South Africa. Diamond recovery was by acid digestion of 418 kilograms of drill core from four holes drilled into the Snowy Owl Kimberlite pipe in early 1999 and 20 kilogram of chips from the 1998 percussion drill program. << Batch Samples KG Total Diamonds ------------------------------------------------------------ Can 99/127 8 (22 KG) 176 180 Can 99/128 4 (22 KG) 88 526 Can 99/129 7 (22 KG) 154 83 Can 99/101 1 (20 KG) 20 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Total 20 438 790 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ >> Average 1.80 diamonds per kilogram. Included in one 22 kilogram sample of Batch Can 99/128 results are 417 microdiamond fragments which De Beers laboratory has commented may be the result of a larger stone being accidentally crushed. Using a square mesh sieve size, and excluding the fragments of sample Batch Can 99/128, four of the diamonds are macrodiamonds exceeding 0.5 mm. Kimberlite drill core samples from which these diamond counts were determined indicate that diamonds are distributed throughout the portion of the Snowy Owl Kimberlite drilled to date to a maximum depth of 150 metres. __________________ William J.
