I went over my PDAC pile and summurized it as follows: Talked to Eric Freidland of Peregrine Diamonds re his plans to resample the Tli Kwi Cho pipes. He is convinced that the richest part of the pipe wasn’t tested in 93. Too bad it’s not a public company – he’s got a good chance of proving up a resource that he wants to feed one day to Ekati or Diavik. I talked to Graham Gill, DDN’s Exploration Manager. We went over the properties and agreements they have made to have an interest in huge land areas of prospective ground. This is a large part of Diamonds North appeal with me, shared properties, and increasing odds of success.  I stopped in at the Majestic Gold booth, first because of the stunningly gorgeous lady standing in the booth, and second because I remember a write-up Laurence Roulston had on it. I have to say I remember little now about the company, but I clearly recall Lady Kim’s radiance ;0)  I talked to Pamela Strand about the Churchill project and am optimistic that they will be able to generate a lot of interest this year with their drilling program of 50 targets at the heads of descreet mineral trains.  Similarly Mike Westerlund of Ashton reviewed Foxtrot and Lynx projects for me. ACA seems to be in a holding pattern, waiting for diamond valuations. I liked what Bernie Kahlert of Commander has on the go with their Baffin Island gold project – looks promising.  The Committee Bay greenstone belt also appears to hold a lot of promise, worth following up on. Looked over the projects for Cumberland, Tyhee, Spider, True North, Diamondex, Tres-Or, Strongbow, Stornoway, Tahera, FNX, and Motapa. Unfortunately waiting 10 days to give a report leaves me with little of juicy substance to pass on.  LMBF
