These CF results were reported in 1997. They will be very instructive to anyone who cares to find out exactly what they mean. And even if you bought this stock on momentum and had no idea what you were buying compare the results to any other CF results by any company in the world. It should be very comforting.

WINSPEAR RESOURCES LTD. ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF CAUSTIC FUSION ANALYSES
OF KIMBERLITE BOULDER MATERIAL FROM SNAP LAKE

VANCOUVER, Nov. 12 /CNW/ - Winspear Resources Ltd.
Trading Symbol: WSP.V
Winspear Resources Ltd. (WSP.V) is pleased to provide results of caustic
fusion analyses of kimberlite boulder material collected from four sample
sites within a previously reported boulder train that was discovered on the
south shore of Snap Lake during this past summer's program. Boulders
comprising the train are mainly of kimberlite breccia material and are up to
25 cm in length. Snap Lake is located within the Camsell Lake project area
that is situated 140 miles northeast of Yellowknife. The Camsell Lake project
is a joint venture in which Winspear Resources Ltd has a 57.3% interest and is
operator.
Results of caustic fusion analyses by Lakefield Research on these
kimberlite boulder samples are as follows:

The largest diamond reported measures 3.475 mm in its longest dimension
and is described by Lakefield Research personnel as a white, translucent
octahedron.
Winspear is highly encouraged by these results which represent the best
analyses reported to date from the Snap Lake area from which kimberlite has
been reported in three other areas around and within the lake. All kimberlite
occurrences found to date are significantly diamond-bearing. Characteristics
of indicator minerals and diamonds recovered from this area indicate that
these various known kimberlite occurrences have a similar mantle source.
Planning is underway for the forthcoming winter/spring work program. It
is presently anticipated that a significant work program will be undertaken in
the Snap Lake area beginning late January - early February. Details of this
program will be announced when they are finalized.
