<<<..., personally, think that Ashton has no magic -I think the AEC geologists that revewed the area are the ones that suggested to Ashton where to look....>>> Personally I don't agree with you!!! Ashton has 20 PIPES, and finding more every day. Ashton's parent company in Australia is a diamond producer, do you think that may have anything to do with Ashton's success? John

Hi JP. Personally I agree with you. Not only did the original targets obtained come through AEC,...but they have a tremendous wealth of knowledge in the Alberta area. This is not to say Ashton has not done some extremely good work here also,...I feel that at this point the play is just evolving,...and that the juniors Ie;montello ,everest ,new claymore,troymin to name a few ,have incredible land positions(as anyone who played the Lac De Gras Play)will attest. And as speculators's the one element that we have to contend with is time itself. And with the amount of targets expressed by many junior companies,.. it is inevitable that some junior resource company will hit kimberlite. Until this happens ,..unless Ashton divulges some incredible new information,... then we wait. But let's put it this way the diamond find by Diamet didn't really start to accelerate until after almost 3+ years (because of bitter cold and the available time frame to contend with,let alone cost),...and the work that has been done in Alta,.so far is equivalent to about two years,...so this year should make for an extremely profitable and exiting year!!! On the other hand how many area plays this big --130-140+ million acres staked big, are there to participate in at present? And in Canada!! With 50 plus companies involved,the appropriate financings,the involvement of the majority of most analysts,..and in a province that is booming to beat!!!! Sorry for the rambling gents,...but I sincerely thank my lucky stars that I have the ability to participate in a play of this magnitude,..for I honestly feel this will possibly eclipse all past area plays,and it is just starting!!! Cheers and very best fortune, to all! Mackle.

Hi JP, <<<Don't get too impressed by the Marum hype >>> <<<I don't think there's any magic with Ashton>>> You were quick to tell us that you own 100,000 shares in Montello, a company you that you constantly promote. I just wonder if you own shares in Marum or Ashton, 2 companies that you like to downplay. Now I know why the likes of Kaiser et. al always state whether or not they own shares in a company they write about! BB I own shares of Aca,Meo and Mmu

Hi JP, concerning your comments: >>I think the AEC geologists that revewed the area are the ones that suggested to Ashton where to look. Don't forget that is how Ashton got called in initially. AEC had found a bunch of pipes on their seismic. And I believe you only see pipes on seismic if you are right on top of them. (any geologists out there to confirm that?)<< Nope, AEC geophysicists noted the circular and diagnostic magnetic (and seismic?) anomalies according to Ashton's and Fagan's write-ups. (Yup, Yorkton got it wrong too when they wrote the mag anomalies were first identified by AEC geologists--i.e., big difference between geophysicists and geologists <grin>.) Yup, two-dimensional seismic line data (which is the most common over the Peace River Arch area) exhibits diagnostic kimberlite signatures when the shots and receivers (e.g., also called geophones) are over a kimberlite pipe. "Offline" signatures can be very difficult to interpret correctly since most seismic-processing schemes usually assume near-vertical incidence/reflectance of seismic energy. Yup; me too. I'm skeptical of companies who claim gravity anomalies can both indicate regional crustal thickness AND pinpoint kimberlites. There are many kinds of gravity anomalies and there are many rocks and structures which can exhibit gravity lows. BTST, I'm also skeptical of "Veggie Anomalies". Good Luck, T.
