Ed, Thanks for the write-up, I have GLB on my screen. If you hear anything please let us know. It seems there is activity in the shares of these stocks thou on no serious volume. Seems that smart money is just quietly accumulating. Although short term the WKR press release was disappointing and a twenty cent drop, it surprised me that it only dropped 20%. The bigger picture is that all is there for a good size deposit. They may fumble around short term. If this was six months ago the fall would have been harder. Coral, Claimstaker, and Mirandor have been moving up. Heck even BREX (hate any name close to Bre-x) has moved. This is speculative money!!! jec

This guy is great! Thanks Alan To: +Alan Whirlwind (1843 ) From: +Alan Whirlwind Wednesday, Dec 2 1998 7:46PM ET Reply # of 1849 Pinky's Tailing Box: a weekly Wednesday Feature of At a Bottom Now for Gold... DOWTANIC! Molly Brown: Dowtanic--what a weighty name for an ocean liner. Aristocrat: God couldn't sink the Dowtanic. Rose: All you men think about is the size and upward movement of your Dow. I've had enough! $ Jack: Miss, why are you hanging over the rail like that?...no, don't do it! You're young, beautiful, and have everything to live for--don't throw your life away like this... Rose: I own 20,000 shares of Zappa Resources. Jack: Jump! $ Rose: I wanted to personally thank you for saving my life...why, you're an artist. What detailed work...will you draw me? Jack: Sure, meet me in my cabin later. Rose: You are a man of many possibilites. Jack: Impossibilities too. Why, I've icefished on a lake in Western Wisconsin that doesn't even exist yet. Try beating that. Rose: I made money in the silver market this year. Jack: Got me. Rose: But, really, I want to be an ordinary person like you Jack. Jack: Okay, first you have to spit like an ordinary person. Rose: Oh dear, I'm afraid I have trouble with such icky stuff. Jack: Don't worry, Janet Reno just got Ickes out of trouble and off the hook by declining to appoint a special prosecutor. Rose: Oh mother...this is the boy who saved my life. Er, hello Mrs. Brown... Molly Brown: My boy, you've got saliva on your face. Jack: My apologies, I was just dreaming about recent Dow gains I could have had. $ Jack: Just sit there a little while longer while I finish a few light brush strokes. Steward: Pardon the interruption Sir...oh, I didn't know you were preoccupied. Er...I would imagine it must be difficult finding nude models to pose for you like that. Jack: Not at all--there are plenty of ladies out there long the XAU who have lost their shirts. $ Rose: Jack, when we get to America, I want to be with you. Jack: But I'll always be poor. Then again, with all your money in Zappa, so will you. $ Aristocrat: You! Get the warrant officer over here at once. Steward: At once Sir, but why the warrant officer Sir? Aristocrat: That man there is a thief! Warrant Officer: Why was I summoned here? Steward: I'm afraid we might have a thief here Sir. Warrant Officer: Indeed, what did he steal? Aristocrat: Zappa Warrants. Warrant Officer: So you're the culprit who's been tearing up the wallpaper on aft deck. I'll have to handcuff you in the brig until we can straighten this thing out. $ Lookout: Bridge! Duty Officer: Bridge here--what's the problem? Lookout: YK2, recession, declining earnings due to Asian meltdown, Euro competition, Japanese dumping of US securities, and Brazil & China devaluing dead ahead Sir. Duty Officer: Anything else? Lookout: Oh yes, an iceberg! Duty Officer: Hard astern! C-R-U-N-C-H!!! $ Dow Designer: There's no stopping it. The Dow is sinking. Captain: How long do we have? DD: Two months, maybe three. Captain: My God, we only have lifeboats for a third of the investors. $ Rose: Oh Jack, I found you--we're sinking. Jack: With our types of investments I thought we were already sunk. Save yourself; I'm handcuffed and there's no key. Rose: I'll break this glass and free you with this axe. Don't move... S-W-I-N-G! C-H-O-P! Rose: Oh my God! What have I done? Jack: You just axed the CEO of Sunbeam. Don't worry--they wouldn't have given him a space on a lifeboat anyway. Rose: Jack, why aren't any of these people dumping their securities now while they still have a chance? Jack: They probably figure that without any other safe haven at hand they'll last longer if they stay with the Dow as long as they can. Rose: But what about precious metals? Jack: They're obviously aware they'll sink faster with their pockets full of gold. $$$

newmont.com For all its success, 1996 was a transitional year on the Carlin Trend. Surface deposits of the easier to process oxide ores are being depleted and, increasingly, new production is coming from complex refractory ores that require pretreatment before the gold can be recovered. Newmont's Carlin operation has become as complex as its ores. Sophisticated computer modeling, a robotics laboratory that assays two million ore samples a year and increasing use of stockpiles to segregate ore by grade, sulfur and carbon content are necessary to optimize operations. five million tons were stockpiled for future processing. The refractory ore treatment plant, or Mill No. 6, the largest facility of its type, is pivotal to Newmont's future. To the north of the Post deposit, drilling in the Goldbug area doubled the mineralized material not yet in reserves to 5.7 million tons of mineralization at a grade of 0.288 ounce per ton, and increased the inferred resource base to several times that amount. This inferred resource consists mostly of low-grade refractory material for which economical metallurgical recovery methods are being tested. Subject 23633 jec arerun
