Hi, Larry! The Boss is watching! I freely publish this note I just received from Indiana...err, Rick. It opens with comments about the post of yours to which I am responding. I publish this because: 1) Rick appears to never restrict exposure of his messages to stockholders; and 2) The pictures and technical info will be much more meaningful to many readers of this thread than they are to me - as I am totally a greenhorn. *** * * * * * Hi George: I saw Larry's comment about the PDAC. I hope during one of our messages I did not give the impression that TWG was going to make an announcement there. I don't have any advance knowledge about when they make their announcements. That said, I can say that I visited their offices in Toronto about 3 1/2 weeks ago and they were kind enough to show me their annual report photos and other graphics that they will be using for presentation purposes. They are very powerful images and should change the perception of the Torngat diamond play. My own perception is that it is the most interesting exploration play I have seen in my career, mainly because it is so crisp in terms of logistics, controls, targeting etc.... The current perception, to the extent that the play has any perception at all in the mining exploraiton spec markets, is that the dyke systems are the usual three metre animals. This is false and I thing it will be interesting to watch the perception change. One other thing, their linear extent is very unusual for kimberlites (as opposed to, say, diabase dykes), 22 Km according to one TWG news release there are probably others that run extend longer (further?) at surface. This presents and interesting dynamic. Its always good to be close, but in this play directionality will be more important than being really close. The structure is pretty easy to work with. Some structural information will be shown by some of the players but my guess is that most of the players will hold back some of the orientations. Promotionally, this is going to be really interesting to watch, because unlike most other projects, all they will have to do is show the data. That's it. It is a self-promoting play and will, I think, be the best investment at the show. Also, it will be the first time, that accurate property maps for the surrounding area will be shown by other players and my guess is that it will generate a renewed staking rush. Thankfully, it has been very quiet since the first rush back in September. Here is the photo of Adrian's Wall that I think will be on the TWG Annual Report cover ( repeat, I think...) twingold.com This is one of my favourites. twingold.com I captured this photo of Adrian's Wall from the TWG website and linked it to an image consisting of a scanned air photo (at 1,000 dpi) (ignore the East-West "grain" in the photo that is due to the developing process) and introduced some coarser gained Landsat 5 Band 5 data, turned it all back to grey and then filtered it with something called a Gaussian filter. Then I downgraded the image by adding some contrast in order to make is more suitable for viewing on the internet. Then sent it back to TWG. Its shows the "small" size of Adrian's Wall compared to the linear extent of the local swarm which you can see running about 020 degress, that is about 20 degrees east of north (north-north-east?). It appears that this dyke set extends about 7 Km northerly and at least 8 in a more southern direction off the picture. Except for one small sample, this set is totally unexplored. One more thing, there is lots, lots more. Cheers, Rick Boulay * * * * * *** Clap. Clap. Clap. (Applause for the Force) GSM
