WARNING, NON-Geological Posting, except the last bit

Just a few observations gang,

I received a call a few days ago from a Cannacord broker who would like for me to become a client (I believe he got my number from Winspear). In our chat I asked him if he follows SI, surprise surprise he does. Anyway just a direct confirmation that Cannacord is very likely reading all that is posted here and gee whiz, who knows, maybe there are other brokers, promoters and shorters (if you'll excuse the redundancy) reading and posting here as well.

In the ongoing disgustion regarding WSP options, I believe it has been implied that 4.5 million options in addition to 2.2 million re-priced ones are being issued thereby diluting shareholder value. Where has that been announced? It was my understanding that at the EGM the re-pricing of an EXISTING (Feb 10/97) 2.5 million options was approved and a stock option plan ALLOWING the issue of up to 4.5 million options was approved. To my knowledge no options whatsoever have been issued since February this year. Just like to clear that up.

Regarding R.T. he is down for 285,000 options of the 2.2 million, there are 14 others sharing the remainder as well - other directors and geologists working for the company. I don't see any rapacious behaviour on R.T.'s part here. Go have a look at Kalahari insider reports for some real entertainment.

I have to agree with Chris Anatra, reading R.T.'s bio combined with the lack of any selling on his part seems fairly positive. Now, if only Lucas would stop selling - Cannacord broker had no answer to that question.

The geology bit as promised :) Diamonds are hard, stock is soft. ;-)

Have a good weekend,
Kim

P.S. I do hereby disclose that I am a shareholder in Winspear Resources, and I do wish everyone to buy lots of it and often. I am not now, nor have I ever been, a stock broker/promoter, nor to my knowledge do I personally know any of the persons involved with this company. Oh, and Kim Evans is my real actual honest-to-goodness name - anyone else care to make a declaration like the foregoing? C'mon put yer motives where yer mouth is! Heh, must be Friday...

MONSTER MASH

I was posting on the thread, late one night,
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight,
Our CEO from my screen began to rise,
And suddenly to my surprise,

He did the scam, he did the option scam,
He did the scam, it was a flim and a flam,
He did the scam, 'twas like a lion on a lamb,
He did the scam, he did the option scam

From the Directors' Suite on old Howe Street,
To the lawyers' office where the vampires feast,
The ghouls all came without conscience or cares,
To give us a jolt and dilute our shares

They did the scam, they did the option scam,
They did the scam, it was a flim and a flam,
They did the scam, 'twas like a lion on a lamb
They did the scam, they did the option scam

Canacrock was having fun, the party had just begun,
The guests included Snowfie with Randy and his hon'
The scene was rocking like at the old Roxy,
Board of Directors burning up some proxies,
The newsletter boys were dancing in the buff,
With their vocal group the Irish Jack Cough

They played the scam, they played the option scam,
They played the scam, it was a flim and a flam,
They played the scam, 'twas like a lion on a lamb
They played the scam, they played the option scam

Out from his coffin deGuzman crawled,
He looked at was happening and then he bawled,
He opened the lid and shook his fist and slumped,
"If I'd only thought of your plan I'd have never jumped!"

It's now the scam, it's now the option scam,
It's now the scam, it's just a flim and a flam,
It's now the scam, just like a lion on a lamb
It's now the scam, it's now the option scam

Now everything's cool, Guz is part of the band,
And the Option Scam is the hit of the land,
It seems quite legal though no proxies ever came,
The big boys got our blood and that's the name of the game

And you can scam, and you can option scam,
And you can scam, it's just a flim and a flam,
And you can scam, just like a lion on a lamb,
And you can scam, and you can option scam
