Mike, The groups I am in contact with are in Vancouver, Calgary, Saskatoon, Yorkton Sk., Ontario (two cities). We are basically very interested junior stock investors. We try very hard to source all information outside the inner ring and then attempt to confirm or deny the rumours through the directors. We do try to remain loyal to the company as it works much better in the long run. This however does not guarantee a return on your investment as it still has to be proven up. Directors and company insiders of course will always promote their own stock. So the play is to confirm rumours consistently through credible, reputable sources without breaking any securities laws. If the information remains accurate for a long period of time such as in the ANZ/cll saga then we tend to move with it. But cautiously until you see it confirmed in a news release. Yes, ANZ is number one on my list with CLL a close second. I know you guys are not big on CLL due to management etc. BUT I buy my stocks based off of many parameters and CLL is one to do your own due diligence on. If this diamond play is legitimate then CLL will move forward significantly regardless of those upset with them. I find it easier not to get to emotional with a stock. As we have seen stated by many on these threads - Patience is the virtue. jas

Mike, My apologies. I forgot to answer your first question. I do not know for a fact if Barrick did any drilling. It is my belief the answer is no. They only did some serious deep channeling/trenching and then using the old china gold drilling results did some extrapolation or guessing. But again I do not know the answer to this for sure. Barricks geologist are very thorough and would not negotiate against themselves therefore I believe they were not far off in their estimates. jas
