Western Goldfields goes to full production by Jan 1 2008.
Even though they have continued to pull small amounts of gold, 1000-2000 ounces per year from
existing ore on leach pad, I would consider the ramp up to 165,000 ounces per year new production.

Outstanding shares around 30 to 35 million. Will produce about 70K ozs. 1st year, ramping to 100K ozs. by 3rd year.
Currently drilling to increase resource.
Low cash cost of around $100/oz. Near surface ore, low cost.
Will have very hefty earnings/share.
In Mexico.
Mostly gold, with silver. Small amount of base metals.
Management owns 30% of shares.
Once producing, will issue dividend. 1/3 earnings will go to dividend, 1/3 for taxes, 1/3 for growth/expansion.
These guys sold US Gold to Rob McEwen. Very tight-fisted about issueing shares. Since they own 30% shares, will be very
shareholder friendly.
AMEX down the road, I'd guess they would wait until in production.

Starts Up Gold Mill at Tamarack
Fri Sep 28, 9:00 AM
ca.news.finance.yahoo.com.
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 28, 2007) -
Millstream Mines Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: MLM.V) (FRANKFURT: NJD.F) is pleased
to announce that at its Tamarack Mine Project of Montana, mill operations have
commenced going through a period of tune-up.
The crushing and grinding circuit, electrics, piping, flow cells, and a full size
Deister gravity table are now being systematically tested.
A stockpile of some 500 tons of roughly .1 ounces per ton (opt.) or 3 g/t gold material is
being utilised in order to evaluate the milling process and further improve its
extraction efficiencies.
Once this necessary mill testing is complete and processing efficiencies improved the higher grade
stockpiled material (.4 opt. or 12+ g/t) will then be processed.
Concurrently, the exploration for further ore sources underground continues.
This is welcome news for Millstream as it represents a new milestone in the company's corporate history.
To ensure the continuation of production beyond the initial mill testing period, the
company has stockpiled 2,000 tons of .4 opt. (or 12+ g/t) gold material above
ground (see PR's Feb. 19,'07 & May 4,'07) and is now continuing a drift underground to pick up
a drill tested zone of mineralization, the previously released assays of which are as follows (see PR Oct. 31, 2006):
Drill Hole No. Down hole Width Gold Assay Interval (ft.) (ft.) (m) (oz/ton) (g/t)TR-2 50 to 150
100 30.47 .244 7.56Including 70 to 90 20 6.1 .975 30.22Including 105 to 115 10 3.05 .123 3.81
Also, six miles up the mountain to the west at the Uncle Sam Mine, of which Millstream has a 50% interest,
a further 4,500 tons of 0.45 opt. broken up gold ore material lying in the stopes can be accessed for further feed
to the mill (see PR Aug. 15,'97).
The Tamarack Property is well on the way to becoming a producing, high-grade gold operator in the
Tobacco Root Mountains, Madison County, Montana. Millstream has a 100% interest in the Tamarack, lode
gold bearing, Property and its associated assets. The Tamarack Property is accessible year round,
4 miles from the town of Sheridan, on a well maintained gravel road. The associated assets of the
property include a newly refurbished 100 tons per day (tpd) mill. Additional assets include tailings
disposal ponds, a water supply lagoon and well, compressors, bulldozers, loaders, haulage trucks,
underground mining equipment, parts and tools. An electric power transmission line complete with
a sub-station on the property has been energized through the electrical utility, NorthWestern Energy.
The Uncle Sam Mine is also located in the Tobacco Root Mountains 6 miles to the east of the Tamarack Mine
and Mills. Detailed geophysical, geochemical and geological surveys have extended the previous workings to
cover a gold/graphite bearing structure over 8,000 feet long. This investigation also identified the presence
of other lode gold occurrences associated with the known mineralized Uncle Sam fault zone which has a
true thickness of about sixty (60) feet or about 18.3 metres. All previous mining has occurred at the hanging wall of
the Uncle Sam fault over a width of three (3) to ten (10) feet or 1 to 3 metres.

Notes:
The intention of this list is to identify companies that
are just going into gold production.
Defined as - (Oct 07 - Dec 08)
I do NOT own any of the stocks listed above.
I know Tom (Slan), LC, and Koan from various posts
over the last two years. They are terrific people
and very studious with respect to mining stocks
in general. I also know dara and rnsmth because I
lurk their posts.
If you are new to gold mining - ask questions.
I know very little about mining - BUT
there are *easily* 50 excellent posters amoung the
various mining boards. Their knowledge of
the bits and bytes of the mining industry is exceptional.
regards,
