<<I Can't believe people are not responding to Meo's 7 kims, thier booth was pretty busy at the SanFransisco gold and diamond show. >> I think the market had already accepted that MEO has lots of pipes. They are now yelling -SHOW ME MY MONEY. So we have to wait for diamond counts. But the more pipes -the better the odds. JP

Hi Folks! -- News from Marum Resources: ________________ MARUM RESOURCES INC. __________________ marumresources.com News Release # 98-09 SEC 12g(3) Exemption 82-4100 ASE Trading Symbol "MMU" Standard & Poor's Corporate Manual Listing Chinchaga Diamond Program Microprobe Results December 8, 1998 -- Marum Resources reports that it has received electron microprobe results from the University of Saskatchewan for grains picked from samples obtained in October from the Chinchaga diamond project in northern Alberta. The sampling program was designed to assist in final targeting for a proposed January 1999 drill program. Stream sediment samples down-drainage from clusters of pipe targets have been previously reported as containing massive amounts of large glass spherules up to 5mm in diametre, with nickel sulphide inclusions. Microprobe results just received confirm that the spherules originated in an alkaline volcanic magma. Textural features are consistent with a local source. Overburden is thin to non-existent. The information has been used to prioritize magnetic anomalies directly upstream of the samples as pipe targets. The search for stratigraphic targets, consisting of Cretaceous-age nearshore marine beach "sands", has been an ongoing feature of the Chinchaga exploration program. This is an important target type, possibly unique to the Chinchaga area of Alberta due to the existence of a major seacoast running in a northeast-southwest direction through the area at the time the northern Alberta kimberlite pipes were emplaced. The economic importance of such targets is demonstrated by the extensive beach sand diamond deposits of western Africa which have been mined for a century. In the Chinchaga area, a target "sand", actually a distinctive flat-lying volcano-sedimentary unit, extending over 70 km along an ancient coastline, and up to 10 metres thick, has been identified as being prospective for diamond on the basis of unusual mineralogy which includes ilmenite, corundum and olivine. A recently processed sample has yielded volcanic glass spherules and, significantly, extraordinary quantities of perfectly formed, large black garnets. Microprobe results just received confirm these as andradites and hydrogrossulars with high titanium contents. These large, perfect crystals are primary magmatic minerals that are ultra-deficient in aluminum and formed in a local, alkaline volcanic magma of the type favourable for diamond formation. Grossular garnets occur in the Ashton and Monopros kimberlite pipes in Alberta. The unusual geochemistry of this rock unit and the spectacular amounts of these diagnostic indicator minerals confirm its attractiveness as a large, regional, flat-lying diamond host rock target. There is virtually no overburden over the "beach sand" target; drill depths to the bottom of the target, including overburden, should not exceed fifteen metres and very large tonnages are available for near-surface sampling. Samples from another sampling program, oriented to several clusters of pipe targets, carried out by APEX Geoscience of Edmonton in October, were submitted to Saskatchewan Research Council for analysis. Results are expected soon. The APEX sampling program included down-ice and downstream sampling from a large, distinct seismic anomaly consisting of a noticeable vertical disruption in a seismic profile. The seismic anomaly lies in a cluster of magnetic high anomalies which are themselves drill targets based on independent magnetic and geochemical data. The company is currently in discussion with a potential partner to form a joint venture on certain permits and to implement a drill program in the New Year.

Mount Hope news: Microprobe Results From Buffalo Hills Source MARKET NEWS Company MOUNT HOPE RESOURCES CORP. ("MH-Y") - Microprobe Results From Buffalo Hills Reveals Additional Kimberlitic Indicators - Scott Angus, President of Mount Hope Resources Corporation is pleased to announce that the Company has received electron microprobe data of indicators recovered from the Haro River region on the Company's northwestern Alberta property. The results confirm the presence of kimberlitic indicators in the region where Mount Hope has identified 8 magnetic anomalies and several, previously announced, kimberlitic indicators (news release 10/22/98). Five samples were taken by Apex Geoscience Limited from a creek in the Haro River region. The creek, from which the samples were taken, drains a limited area which contains 7 magnetic anomalies and is the same creek from which the Company has already recovered 5 kimberlitic indicators. The purpose of the additional sampling was to confirm the results of the original sampling program in this region. The five samples collected by Apex were processed by Overburden Drilling Management of Nepean, Ontario and the microprobe work was carried out by the Ontario Geological Survey Geoscience Laboratory in Sudbury, Ontario. The microprobe analysis has confirmed that these samples have produced an additional 12 kimberlitic indicators (8 garnets and 4 chromic). These results bring the total number of kimberlitic indicators recovered in the region to 17, taken from 8 samples collected over a distance of approximately 2 kilometres. The indicators include, 11 kimberlitic garnets, including a subcalic G10 garnet considered to be the best indicator of diamondiferous kimberlites, 4 kimberlitic chromites and 2 kimberlitic clinopyroxenes. It is important to note that the indicators were recovered in a very concentrated area, containing the 7 geophysical anomalies. Management is extremely encouraged by these results and believe that the geophysical anomalies in the Haro River region warrant a high resolution geophysical survey to prioritize drill targets.
