Denis,
Thanks for your updates, always greatly appreciated. I'm wondering about the different scenarios on how everthing might play out, (i.e. Moneta vends Michaud property to Barrick, Barrick buys Moneta outright, etc.) What do you see likely happening and what would have to place before it does happen?
Regards RonS

Alto/Moneta Expand Exploration Portfolio in Abitibi Greenstone Belt Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc ME Shares issued 38,888,751 Oct 20 close $0.32 Tue 21 Oct 97 News Release See Alto Minerals Inc (ATO) News Release October 21, 1997 - Alto Minerals Inc. and Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. of Timmins, Ontario announce that they have acquired by staking, a large land position in the Abitibi greenstone belt east of Timmins Ontario. The partners, whom each have a 50% interest, have staked 126 claim units (20 square kilometers) in Barnet and Melba Townships. The property is prospective for both gold and base metals. Property geology straddles the contact between the Kinojevis and Blake River Groups. The Kinojevis is well known for hosting the gold deposits of the Harker-Holloway camp, and the Blake River for hosting VSM deposits such as the Noranda base metal camp. As well, an evaluation of geophysical data indicates the property is dissected by a strong E-W structure indicated by regional magnetics and by N-S and NW-SE structures on regional geological maps. Recent polymetallic discoveries by Cross Lake Minerals Ltd. four townships west of the property have drawn new attention to this sequence of the Abitibi greenstone belt. The partners will conduct an extensive interpretation of available geophysical data of this under- explored property, and plan a helicopter geophysical survey.
