Frankie, just thought I'd hit hit you up for an ACA progress report, if you have any further info. Here's what Ashton last wrote (as a reminder for folks): - - - - Monday Sep 28 1998 Also Pure Gold Minerals Inc (PUG) Mr. John Auston reports Ashton Mining of Canada announces plans for the testing of two samples from kimberlites in the Buffalo Hills project in north-central Alberta. A sample of approximately 450 tonnes was taken from kimberlite K-14 last winter by reverse circulation drilling. This sample now is being moved to a contract facility for processing by dense media separation (DMS). The test of K-14 will commence in approximately two weeks, and will be overseen by Ashton personnel. Work is under way to acquire a mini-bulk sample from kimberlite K-11, 30 kilometres east of K-14. One vertical reverse circulation hole was drilled last winter on this large anomaly. As reported in Stockwatch May 28, 1998, an initial count of 106 microdiamonds and 14 macrodiamonds was obtained from four samples weighing 189.5 kilograms, with the largest stone having a maximum dimension of 1.7 millimetres. Core drilling to outline the kimberlite has begun and reverse circulation drilling will be employed to collect a mini-bulk sample of 20 to 25 tonnes. The sample will be processed in Ashton's DMS plant in North Vancouver... / / / - - - - Best to you chief, -j :>
