> Goldsheet did a fantastic job of running a stock-picking contest in 2005, but refused to submit to substantial peer pressure to do it again in 2006. Thanks, did it as a favor to loantech, and we all know how that turned out (no good deed goes unpunished) It was rather ironic maintaining a contest for a thread I was banned from. Anyway, I felt no no peer pressure, since only one person asked me to do 2006 contest. I kept my promise to all to finish the 2005 contest, and I did. I wish I could suggest a better way for you to track the contest data. The way I did it was in a spreadsheet linked to market data, so once written it got updated every time I retrieved personal stock quotes (sometimes 3 times a day) Took more time upfront, but minimized update time.

slowlane this is a good exercise. but the only think is that people try to choose the most risky one as they have the biggest percentage gains if it hits. i think the picks should be based on the dollar amount invested in the pick. just an opinion

SlowLane, please put me in the running for the 2006 contest with my pick - PNL Pinnacle Mines for their BC prospects and Chinese connection.. pinnaclemines.com Red introduced it to me last year, and based on this NR I picked up shares at current prices. pinnaclemines.com This quote caught my attention: DDH-2005-52 at -60° intersected a zone of mineralization starting at 88.03 meters and finishing at 207.01 meters for 118.98 meters (390 feet) grading 5.4 grams per tonne gold (gpt) (see table below), including a section of 15.2 meters or 49.9 feet grading 34 gpt or 1.0 ounces/ton. DDH-2005-52 was lost in heavily mineralized faulted breccia assaying 6.79 gpt gold over the last 1.52 metres of the hole. DDH-2005-52 is the most northerly hole drilled to date and was drilled in an area that was previously untested. The hole encountered a new style of mineralization consistent with the high gold and silver bearing mineralization that was mined in the upper levels of the nearby Silbak-Premier mine. Visible gold is found within a very fine grained sulphide that gives the quartz in the core a black mottled appearance. Any drill intersection of this type of mineralization in DDH-2005-52 has yielded high gold and silver assays and correlates well with the black sulphide mineralization that was present in the Silbak-Premier mine.
