Maintenance, next week is early December. past release indicated early Dec. As well, it has been rumoured for weeks that a release was around the corner. Your bullish attitude is great. I am also bullish on Ashton and Pure Gold. Other alberta diamond stocks will also start doing well if they can at least announce they have found ONE kimberlite.

Maintenance - would appreciate looking at the basis for your prediction of $18 for Ashton.

Posted some info for interested newcomers.

- easy access to properties, as opposed to helicopter to NWT
- work on ground year round
- good climate, not quite as cold as NWT
- helicopter support not quite as essential as in NWT
- drive to many drill sites
- targets easily identified
- good infrastructures nearby
- good score so far on kimberlites
- good score so far on diamonds per kimberlite,
- no of macros in ballpark with other producing mines
- no of micros in ballpark with other producing mines
- good size of pipes
- well formed pipes
- do not appear to be eroded away and scattered all over the continent
- gem quality, don't know (some colored stones found)
- lots of targets
- enormous amount of land to explore 30 million plus acres
- well funded for the present
- not too many shares out, float is light
- good senior partners AML AEC
- experienced management, all partners
- own labs, 1 in Vancouver, 1 in Australia (maybe one more?)
- shouldn't be any land claim problems
- good mining law setup
- good position for future financing, actually either major could finance
- good share distribution
- a parent company already has control so can't be a hostile takeover

I would expect the company to be considering a financing if they proceed to 1000+ ton sampling and on.
