Just as a reminder, ACA's last NR re. K-14 on Sept. 28th: Ashton to process samples from kimberlites K-14 and K-11 Ashton Mining of Canada Inc ACA Shares issued 23,798,122 1998-09-25 close $1.5 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. Extensive ground geophysical surveys during the summer have defined a number of anomalies which may be indicators of kimberlites. A drill program to test new anomalies on the Birch Mountain and Loon Lake properties will commence during the fourth quarter of this year. Construction of a DMS plant in the field has been deferred until next spring to avoid the inherent difficulties of construction and commissioning during the winter. The joint venturers on the central Buffalo Hills project, including the Birch Mountain and Loon Lake properties, are Ashton Mining of Canada (42.5 per cent), Alberta Energy Company (42.5 per cent) and Pure Gold Minerals (15 per cent). Ashton is operator of the programs. (c) Copyright 1998 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com

Not sure what Shaun AJ meant but Ashton is up 12cents and not down. He must be talking about KRT, his favourite. It is down 3cents. regards Fast Frank

My goodness, ACA drops a few points and you think that I'm to blame! I wish it were that easy. You sensitive darlings should maybe look at investing in something a little more solid than speculative mining stocks. Over and out - The Boogie Man

DJ, even though I do not usually agree with the contents of Average Joe's posts, he still has as much right as you or I to post on this thread. I have yet to see one of his posts that contravenes S.I's terms and conditions. So don't expect S.I. Bob to give him the boot. The best way to handle the Joeker is to simply ignore him. As for the late session weakness in ACA/PUG anyone have any answers? best wishes purething
