Okay, guys. Stop the chit chat. I just posted the latest ABZ/WSP
news release. The values from t he boulder train look fantastic.
We're talking diamonds above 3 mm. We're talking samll samples
producing 494 micros and 325 macros. Go out and take your weigh
scale with you. Put a rock on it. It doesn't take a very big rock
to make 26.83 kg. There are salmon out here that run in that range
Those rocks had to be chock full of diamonds. No fancies reported
though. ake a look at the largest diamond. 3.475 mm in longest dimentions and it is white, translucent octahedron.

I checked. I got those shares at 70 cents. I thought maybe I was
just digging my hole deeper. Maybe not. Now, if mamma pipe that
produced those babies just reveals herself to us, we're all going
to the Bahamas.

Snap Lake caustic fusion results

Winspear Resources Ltd WSP
Shares issued 30,775,630 Nov 11 close $0.75
Wed 12 Nov 97 News Release
Mr Randy Turner reports
The company has received results of caustic fusion analyses of kimberlite
boulder material collected from four samples within a previously reported
boulder train that was discovered on the south shore of Snap Lake during
this past summer's program. Boulders comprising the train are mainly of
kimberlite breccia material and are up to 25 cm in length. Snap Lake is
within the Camsell Lake project area that is 140 miles northeast of
Yellowknife. The Camsell Lake project is a joint venture in which WinSpear
has a 57.3% interest and is operator.
Results of caustic fusion analyses by Lakefield Research on these
kimberlite boulder samples are:

54.0 27.4 30.6 45.0 39.5

Macro frequency: /10 kg
10.8 5.5 6.1 9.0 7.9

The largest diamond reported measures 3.475 mm in its longest dimension and
is described by Lakefield Research personnel as a white, translucent
octahedron.
Winspear is encouraged by these results, which represent the best analyses
reported to date from the Snap Lake area from which kimberlite has been
reported in three other areas around and within the lake. All kimberlite
occurrences found to date are significantly diamond-bearing.
Characteristics of indicator minerals and diamonds recovered from this area
indicate that these various kimberlite occurrences have a similar mantle
source.
Planning is under way for the forthcoming winter/spring work program. It is
presently anticipated that a significant work program will be undertaken in
the Snap Lake area beginning late January-early February. Details of this
program will be announced when they are finalized.
