Bruce: Good comments. What companies do you like in Australia? Are there any brokers that will trade Aussie listings? Geoff

<The profession of prospector has been killed- you have a bunch of office jocks who try to run the show now. > There are a few old timers with exploration championship rings that once in awhile can raise a few bucks. But, it really is amazing how undercapitalized everybody is. Most explorers raise at most two million, do the soils and rock chipping and then based on great results hope to get lucky with a few drill holes. Then even those that get lucky (we've been talking about a couple recently) see the stock price stay dormant anyway. Then all the "second wind" warrants that should finance more activity go underwater and the story dies. To me it seems somebody is not connecting the dots at that point. Then at the other extreme you get an outfit like Pacific Rim (that was BAD!) who can raise money and they squander it all doing thousands of surface samples and building the Burma Road and the Great Wall of China only to miss on obvious targets. No wonder PM investors have cold feet. The element I've really puzzled about is, where are the long term vulture funds (names? as they would be worth piggybacking) who come in to take 20 or 25% equity positions (exercise the warrants above the depressed stock prices instead of day trading them)to keep the geologists in the field plugging away at enterprise building. It seems like Canadian mining finance is mostly about flipping shares, not discoveries. I've been meaning to ask you. Who is on your prospector honor roll in terms of doing it right philosophically? Maybe the focus here should be little more on the people and business models (like Plewes of SWG).

"Canada on the other hand is anti mining (e.g. BC and the singing trees)." Bruce, Your Si profile has the following about you. Company - Exploration JBR Occupation/Title - Owner Location - Quebec, Canada College - McGill University Degree - M.Sc.A. (Mineral Exploration) Is the reference Exploration JBR the name of your company? If so, do you have a web site for public viewing? My main question is if you could take the time to look into my original question(s) to Claude about the following. Closes Purchase Of Discovery Mine and Nicholas Lake Properties. 4/27/01- Tyhee Development Corp. ("TDC-V;TYHJF-L") stockhouse.com My impression about the president of Tyhee, Dr. Webb, is that he is interested in making the company successful and not as a way to obtain a good paying job in his profession where few are available in Canada. At present he has a focus in the Northwest Territories. Thanks for any insight into this company and management. I am a current shareholder. doug
