The information does not exist yet George. How can it? They have barely been there for a year. But you have start some where with projections and attempt to get a handle on what might be economic. Don't you agree? If the numbers were in then this game would be a wrap with all speculation gone. John

George, nice to have you back. It is indeed too early but has more info gets released from Ashton, I'll have more data to confirm my points. It is still believed by many that a mine in Alberta would cost less than a mine in NWT. Once we have the gem quality numbers, we'll be in a better position to assess this play. It is still a top pick by many analysts for speculative accounts and I am a speculator so I am hanging around and having fun. In my opinion, this is a deja vu for myself going back to the early 90's play in NWT. Some will succeed and some will not. Ashton is indeed 62% owned by Ashton Australia and I like to believe that they have a very strong and experienced management team in Australia and have allowed Ashton Canada to shift their priorities from Cross Lake, NWT to Alberta. I think they did that for a reason. Once they release their 1998 exploration plans, we will have a better feel on how strong they believe in Alberta. Let us all remember that Ashton Canada does not proceed with anything without approval from their parent company. Who knows, they may decide to abandon their exploration in Alberta and go back to NWT or proceed with 1000t bulk sampling. I hope they don't proceed with 1000t bulk sampling unless they know they have a VERY good chance of success. <eom> regards Frank Famularo

Hello George If you recall i asked you several months ago to come join this thread with your incited knowing your stance with respects to the alberta play! Now on your own accord you have done what a was hoping....provide the opposition to BH! I for one look forward to your incite and opinions on this thread, as long as it doesn't come to blows and insults, but i have read your posts on the WSP and REX threads and appreciate your knowledge for the industry. Good Luck George and maybe....just maybe with up coming results BH can convince you and your capital that this is a place well worth investing. Alfonso

How you're doing George? Not sure how closely you're following the Alberta play but I would appreciate it if you can answer a question. What technical/equipment/etc would be unique that a company would use in comparison to another company exploring for diamonds close by. I am referring to Ashton versus Montello. Montello started sometimes in January and has had its share of problems versus Ashton started on sometimes Sunday and have announced two more pipes. Any comments from you would be greatly appreciated. If you prefer to reply to me in me personally, please do. thks.
