Greg W. Taylor Is this the one you are referring to: From the Kitco web site. Date: Sun Feb 22 1998 22:39 6pak (Indonesia @ Gold ) ID#335190: February 22, 1998 FOCUS-New contracts fillip for Indonesian mining JAKARTA, Feb 23 ( Reuters ) - The Indonesian government has announced a fresh round of 38 mining contracts that will allow foreign firms to develop gold, silver, nickel and diamond deposits in this sprawling mineral-rich archipelago. "The event is a strong signal that Indonesia is open to foreign participation in this important sector," said Canada's Ambassador to Indonesia Gary Smith. "Of the 38 contracts, fifteen directly involve Canadian mining and exploration interests," he said in a statement last week. The proposals have been carefully vetted to avoid any repeat of last year's fiasco involving Canada's Bre-X Minerals which claimed the gold find of the century in Indonesia, only for it to turn out to be a costly fraud. "We carefully select the applicants because we don't want situations like the Busang case happening again," said Mines and Energy Minister Ida Bagus Sudjana. canoe2.canoe.ca regards gmweber

Greg: A major release indeed. Let's see how the market reacts to it. I am relatively new to this thread, and have added shares recently. I am very impressed with the last release (Argentina), and await additional releases re: drill results with great interest. Perhaps you have addressed this issue before: as far as Indonesia is concerned: Bre-x aside, can't blame us for being concerned regarding the future of foreign investment in Indonesia, considering the political and financial trauma that the nation is undergoing. Can you address this vis a vis Yamana's viewpoint? Regards Dan
