Why would you do that? Look at these: Bishop says he won't quit letter-writing game Crystallex International Corporation KRY Shares issued 34,000,000 Jun 12 1998 close $1.080 Friday Jun 12 1998 In the News Robert Bishop, writing in a June 12, 1998 Fax-Alert (No. 104) says he will not proceed with a threat made in February to quit the newsletter business. On Feb. 18, with his favourite, Crystallex, at $9.60, Mr. Bishop told his subscribers that he would consider packing up his Gold Mining Stock Report if he were wrong about Crystallex International. "If I'm on the wrong side of this issue I'll give serious consideration to sending out the refund cheques and calling it a day," he said in February. Mr. Bishop now says he owes it to his subscribers to not pack it in. "Too many would simply view that as a sign of the bottom of the market, and with summer coming on and most markets already in considerable disarray, I don't want to lead you to inaccurate conclusions on market timing," the California letter writer states. Crystallex shares, now $1.08, crashed following a June 11 court decision in Venezuela that went against the company. That decision ended a spirited, multi-media promotion based on a lawsuit Crystallex brought forward to win the right to mine the gold-rich Cristinas 4 & 6 concessions. That was my favorite. He did not return anything. Many investors got killed. Then he liked PFG. Pacific Rim Mining Corp PFG Shares issued 21,615,370 May 30 2000 close $4.150 Tuesday May 30 2000 In the News Bob Bishop, writing in the May 2 Fax-Alert (No. 163), says that if there is a consensus "big discovery" story in today's market, it is Pacific Rim Mining. Mr. Bishop has commented on the company a few times over the past year, saying in December that he regretted not recommending it in September, 1999, at $1.20. It was $4.90 when he wrote his report. The California-based letter writer says the stock is trading at a premium and at the high end of its 52-week range because of the people behind it. All indications are that its Luicho deposit will be heap leachable and possibly even emenable to run-of-mine ore processing -- in other words, low-cost gold mining. As already noted by Mr. Bishop, it is widely believed that one major mining company already owns a significant interest in Pacific Rim. Barrick is the name that comes up the most. With virtually no sizable gold deposits in the pipeline, this more than anything else explains why the major gold producers may be showing such a high level of interest at this early stage, Mr. Bishop says.

Pacific Rim Mining Corp PFG Shares issued 21,615,370 Jun 27 2000 close $4.800 Tuesday Jun 27 2000 In the News Robert Bishop, writing in the May 30 Fax-Alert (No. 165), says that he had been expecting news of a financing from Pacific Rim Mining (then $4.35), and that Newmont and Placer Dome were the most likely candidates for such a strategic relationship. Mr. Bishop says it may have been Placer came close to doing a deal with Pacific Rim, whose success at its Luicho property in Peru has led to serious talk about building a mine at the site. The letter writer speculates that because Placer was the company most interested in Luicho, that the senior's go-slow approach was abandoned in favour of a brokered financing. Earlier in May, more than 1.17 million special warrants were placed at $4.25, for gross proceeds of $5-million. With rumours widespread about a Barrick takeover of Placer, it would not have served Pacific Rim's interests to sell stock to Placer, only to see them be absorbed by Barrick, he says. Having competing parties in the deal would serve an interest, but adding to the position of a company that may already own several percentage points of PFG would not make strategic sense.
