Kaiser says Ashton still poised for significant find Ashton Mining of Canada Inc ACA Shares issued 29,249,415 Mar 6 close $0.90 Tue 7 Mar 2000 In the News John Kaiser, writing in a Feb. 29 Bottom-Fish Tracker, says bottom fishers who want to buy Ashton Mining should be prepared to wait for positive results from the Star and Cross winter diamond exploration programs. Mr. Kaiser tipped Ashton a buy in December, 1999, at 53 cents, in December, 1998, at $1.10, and in October, 1999, at 50 cents; earlier buy tips were April, 1996, at $1.15, and December, 1996, at 96 cents. Ashton on Feb. 17 began its winter program in the Northwest Territories. More recently its shares drifted lower on a lack of news from its Caribou Mountain project in Alberta. On the Cross property, Ashton has traced an indicator mineral train to a cluster of lakes, of which three have coincident airborne geophysical anomalies and indicator mineral fans. On the nearby Star property, Ashton plans to follow up an indicator mineral train that emanates from the junction of three small lakes. Mr. Kaiser still likes Ashton because it has the largest interest in the Northwest Territories parcels, a significant focus in northern Alberta, and a continuing reconnaissance program on the Superior craton in the middle of Quebec. |
