Wall Street Journal, Wednesday Apr 2 1997, In the News
The Wall Street Journal, in a half-page feature article in its Wednesday edition,
reports that although known to peers an aggressive promoter, Bre-X Minerals
chairman David Walsh was not the type to venture into wrongdoing, according to
mining industry associates. Reporters Mark Heinzl in Toronto, Carlos Tejada in
Dallas and Peter Waldman in Singapore say that gold industry analyst David
Neuhaus of TD Securities in New York visited Busang last summer and spent
time there with Mr Walsh, Mike de Guzman and John Felderhof. Mr Neuhaus
says he found the trio very open, and willing to answer all of his questions. Mr
Neuhaus says it seemed very straightforward. The Journal does not note the
extent of the analyst's probing questioning. Mr Felderhof's enthusiasm about gold
claims is well known around giant Newmont Mining, according to John Dow,
Newmont's senior v-p of exploration. Newmont senior v-p for planning and
development Durand Eppler says that it seemed unusual that Bre-X could find so
much gold in a site the majors had dismissed.
