Activity update Troymin Resources Ltd TYR Shares issued 21,789,177 Aug 12 close $0.35 Thu 13 Aug 98 News Release Mr. Tom Boychuk reports Buffalo Hills Diamond Prospect, Alberta Monopros Limited has completed initial ground checking of magnetic anomalies, conducted sediment sampling over all of the claim blocks, and started drift thickness and glacial geology studies over the area. To date, none of the high priority airborne mag anomalies have been eliminated by this work. A detailed follow-up geophysical program using the new high sense helicopter DiaMag system, rather than ground surveys, is now under way to further define and evaluate these prospective anomalies. Sediment sampling has included reconnaissance fences across the properties and down ice sampling of geophysical anomalies. About 500 samples have been collected, of which 145 are being processed and sorted for kimberlite indicator minerals at Monopros facilities in Canada, while the balance will be processed here and sorted in South Africa. Interpretation of the detailed geophysical surveys and initial sample results are expected by month end, at which time targets will be prioritized for the drill program. Subject to positive geophysical results, drilling operations are expected to commence on the drier accessible targets this fall, with a follow-up winter program on the wetter less accessible targets after freeze-up. Prospector Mountain Cu-Au Prospect, Yukon A summer exploration program consisting of geological mapping, rock sampling and ground geophysical surveys has been completed in the eastern part of the property. Results are expected shortly and will be combined with the current information to determine future programs on the property.

Jordan Ethans remembered Aber Resources Ltd ABZ Shares issued 45,502,883 Aug 17 close $10.55 Mon 17 Aug 98 Street Wire See Nu-Apex Energy Corp (NPX) Street Wire by Brent Mudry Vancouver promoter Jordan Constantine Ethans suddenly passed away at Whistler late last week at the age of 40. Mr. Ethans was active with several leading Northwest Territories diamond explorers, including Aber Resources and SouthernEra Resources, and served as chairman of Nu-Apex Energy since 1996. "He always seemed to be such a vibrant guy. . . I would like Jordie to be remembered as a vibrant and a fun guy," Nu-Apex president John Fraser told Stockwatch. "He was very much a family man," said Mr. Fraser. Friends and associates of Mr. Ethans were shocked by his sudden demise. "It has been a difficult time for Jordan in the last ten months," said Mr. Fraser. "Depression certainly played a part," he added. Mr. Ethans, a passionate golfer and traveller, was semi-retired after scoring big on the NWT diamond plays. "He had made a lot of money and he didn't have any money problems," said Grenville Thomas, honorary chairman of Aber. As a businessman, he is remembered as an instrumental player in financing properties including part of Aber's ground in the NWT. He is also remembered as a man with an open heart and open pocket, whether helping out close friends or arranging Aber uniforms for junior hockey players on the North Shore. "That epitomizes his character," said Mr Fraser. Mr. Ethans' body was discovered Thursday evening at his condo adjacent to the golf course by the Chateau Whistler. Whistler RCMP decline to comment, as their investigation is not yet closed, but foul play is not suspected. Mr. Ethans moved to Vancouver from his native Winnipeg and became involved in financing the NWT diamond play in 1991, after a decade as a broker with Richardson Greenshields. He served as president of Tenby Resources, a private company, from 1991 until it was acquired by SouthernEra the next year. He also served as president of Commonwealth Gold, with fellow directors Doug Mason and Bruce Horton, from 1991 until it merged with Aber in 1994. Mr. Ethans joined Aber as vice-president of corporate development until 1996 and served as a director until the annual meeting in June. He also served directorship stints with a number of other companies, most recently Diagem International Resource. Mr. Fraser notes that although Mr. Ethans was struggling, he was trying to get himself better. The pair often chatted on the phone, most recently last Monday night. "We talked about all sorts of things, hockey, kids. . . he was in pretty good spirits, all things considered," said Mr. Fraser. Mr. Ethans is survived by his father, who has retired to Florida, and two brothers and a sister, all who live in Winnipeg. A funeral service is set for Thursday in Winnipeg.
