Opps, I forgot a sale I HAD to do in Nov 1997...it was a forced sale. But I tripled that position of sale with new money since. So, I did not dump at the double trade possible after the AGM meeting in May. Just wanted to clear the air. As to the future, that remains to be seen. But the Blues in different hues, mean something wonderfull. Blue Sky - maybe....blues brothers maybe...but, without the Reds and Yellows marking the Blues that we hope are High Grade Ore...and the Blue Hole # 8-A-1 has not been release ...only the Yellow - Red Bordering hole...at the August 17 1998- NUMBERS and Extractions of - .20 ish OPT Gold Recovered!!! ! I have High Hopes. Not ...LOW THOUGHTS. No need to apoligize. No need to squirm at the potentials here and wonder if you should not of wondered if you were missing the boat. Wait for the verrification and chains if you want. Take no risk befor its time for YOU. But don't you ....RISK-TAKE....Balance your tolerance of risk against mine with a dig of a shovel into an area that puts me down in order to bring you up. THAT is a shorters tactic. But you might say my actions and lettering are a longers tactic to inform and balance the sights that I see in looking at this NEWTECH MAP to share and anylize for the benifit of lurkers tuning in after the news in this case that I had no knowledge that it was comming. The WEBSITE in several places says that additional info on techical matters and backup docs is available to any shareholder that asks for them. Have you ever asked for the backups. Do I see things that make sense when looking at the whole Black and White piture...now a Blue - Yellow- RED picture. ( That I shared with any and all...) No supplimentary scans went to my OWM claim Group onthis stuff ..except fot verrifications of this newtech imagery from SPOT . Com

Introduction

SPOTVIeW - Digital orthoimagery and image maps produced from SPOT satellite image data (raster data). These are produced for easy use with geographic information systems (GIS), image processing, CAD and other computerized mapping systems. Imagery is geocoded to a map projection of your choice, ortho-corrected and delivered in easy to read formats.

SPOTVIeW Image Data

P - Panchromatic - 10 meter resolution single band
xS - Multispectral - 20 meter resolution 3 bands including near infrared

Frame Sizes
· 15 x 15 minute area
· 30 x 30 minute area
· Full scene - based on the standard SPOT ffill scene of 37 x 37 miles (60 x 60 '(iii). oriented to satellite orbit.
· SPOTView coverage is also available bv the square mile and the linear mile for project
areas that do not coincide with standard map frames.

Geocoding
U.S. areas - ground control points (GCPS)
selected from USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps
Ortho-Correction
· Performed where appropriate to correct for terrain distortion and where elevation models are available. Processing is pertbnned simultaneously '~tli geocoding so that data do not undergo additional resarnpling.
· USGS digital elevation models (DENIs) are used for U.S. areas.
· For areas outside the U.S.. orthocorrection can be performed using supplementa~ DENI sources where available.

Accuracv
SPOT\'iews meet the following specifications for positional (horizontal) accuracy.:
· U.S. areas: 4() feet 12 meters) or better with ~()() conridence

General Information Sheet SPOT Image Products

Image Data Type

panchromatic (P)
10~rneter spatial resolution imagery comprised of a single band from the visible spectrum extending from 0.51 urn to 0.73 urn (.61 urn to .68 urn on SPOT 4). This data type is best suited for applications requiring fine geometric detail.
Multispectral (XS or Xl)
20-meter spatial resolution imagery comprised of up to four wavelength bands, depending on the satellite:
green (0.5 to 0.59 urn), red (0.61 to 0.68 urn), near infrared (0.79 to 0.89 urn) and shortwave infrared ()(l) (1.55 to 1 .75u) Image scanlines are acquired simultaneously in each of the three spectral modes.

Product Type

SPOT Scene
A Level 1 product available in pan-chromatic or multispectral 60 x 60 to 60
x 80 km frames, oriented along onnital
paths. Worldwide coverage. Typically
used in image processing systems.

Level IA
Digital Elevation Models (DEM)
Customized 3-dimensional datasets representing terrain relief with x,y,z coordinates, created from overlapping SPOT panchromatic or multispectral stereopairs. Worldwide coverage.

Q/
Spotting more opportunity in mining
by Harold Hough
A successful mining company needs to keep both eyes open to opportunity in today's competitive marketplace. For many of these companies one eye was the constel]ation of remote sensing satellites looking at the earth. With these multispectral images geologists found mineral deposits from hundreds of miles in space. But for all of their advantages something was missing, another eye. According to geologist and remote sensine consultant Sandy' Perry that satellite imagery was great for quickly and inexpensively looking at large areas hut geologists still had to go out into the field. One eye wasn't enough.
Today, the SPOT satellite is the mining industry's second eye, picking up where other satellite svstem's limited vision left off. With SPOT, mining companies are receiving more current information ereater detail. md more frequent visits; information which wasn't available before. Thanks to SPOT satellite imagery' is more than an exploration tool. It is an important way to make mining operations more productive.
Before SPOT, field surveys based on satellite imaces were an adventure. Although multispectral satellites provided data on possible mineral deposits, their lower spatial resolution didn't tell the geologists how rugged the terrain was, what roads or trails were in the area or if there were any air strips that thev could use for logistical support. Speaking from experience, Perry said "you were lucky if y'()u could find I to 5(1.17)00 scale maps and e~~en then thev weren't good.'' An expensive expedition could flounder on information provided by' a notoriously poor m ap~
Today' many mining companies like Newinont Mmmc and Cominco use SPOT imagery to pILin field expeditions~ With SPOT's ability to see objects as small as ten meters, unmarked trails and airstrips that can aid in exploration are revealed. According to Dave Colter of Newmont. maps of manv third world countries are so poor that the\' can t be relied upon. With SPOT imagery Newmont and other companies have up-to-date in t~rii~ation for p1 an n in ti'ips to the field.
SPOT imagery is especially' helpful where military considerations made local maps anrelialile ,.~c~~)rdine to \Iit Tilkov of Cominco Nimine the threat of a Soviet invasion during the Cold War forced Tuikish ot't'icials t~i modit's' commercial maps and classify' military' maps. Cominco merged SPOT and l.andsat imagers' so the mineral deposit and the infrastructure were On one image. On the (ither side of' the border. in the t.()rmer S(iviet ~Jnion. othel' mining companies are using SPOT images to explore the poorly mapped interiors of Kazakh~tan. ~~zheki >tan. and other republics.
