Mr. John McDonald reports
Winspear Resources advises that 238.9 carats of diamonds have been recovered from
processing 199.7 dry tonnes of kimberlite from the NW dyke at Snap Lake, Haywood
project, Camsell property.
The Haywood project area is 140 miles northeast of Yellowknife, Northwest
Territories. Winspear operates the project on behalf of a joint venture in which
Winspear's interest is 57.3 per cent. By completing 1998 budgeted expenditures of
$2.68-million, Winspear's interest in the Haywood project will increase to
approximately 68 per cent.
During the past winter field season, approximately 100 tonnes of kimberlite from the
NW dyke at Snap Lake was obtained from each of two pits that are about 235 metres
apart. This material was transported to Yellowknife and processed in the Diavik plant.
Results are as follows:

Sample. Dry tonnes Carats
No. processed recovered

64713 (Pit 1) 105.7 90.69
64714 (Pit 2) 94.0 138.21

For both samples, a total of 199.7 dry tonnes were processed for the recovery of 238.9
carats. This yields an average grade of 1.19 carats per dry tonne. A slotted screen
measuring 1.0 millimetres by 9.0 millimetres was used as a bottom cut-off size in the
processing procedure which is equivalent to a square-mesh cut-off of approximately 1.2
millimetres. The three largest stones recovered weigh 10.87, 8.43, and 6.03 carats,
respectively. All are of gem quality. In addition, a further 18 diamonds were recovered
that are more than one carat in weight. There is no significant difference in the diamond
populations of the two samples.
The main purpose in obtaining this kimberlite sample is to determine whether grade and
values are sufficiently promising to proceed with further delineation of the kimberlite
dyke. Although results to date are encouraging, initial valuation of the diamonds is
required before a decision can be made as to the next step in exploration of this
kimberlite dyke.

All diamonds are presently in the process of being valued. These results will be reported
when they become available.
