I understood that part. I was just wondering if you were reading something that I had missed. I periodically watch this company which seems to obey the "buy on the rumour, sell on the news".

The problem that Ashton has is similar to a lot of exploration diamond plays. We found some, but its not economical. If you look at the Argyle mine as an example though, the quality is only so,so but the quantity makes it work.

Who knows what they will find in the future. Hopefully something that will peak the markets interest.

Cheers

NEWS RELEASE JANUARY 22, 1999

DIAMOND EXPLORATION
MOVING FORWARD AT BUFFALO HILLS


Troymin Resources Ltd (TYR-ME, ASE) is pleased to announce that it has been informed by Monopros Limited, a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of De Beers, the world's leading diamond producer, that Monopros will be starting an exploration drilling program on January 25, 1999 at Buffalo Hills.

Phase I of the program will consist of four targets, one on the Muskwa Block and three on the Bison Block. Follow up drilling will be planned according to results obtained in the first phase.

Troymin's Buffalo Hills Diamond Prospect comprises five strategically located blocks of permits totalling approximately 1.0 million acres on the Buffalo Head Craton which hosts Alberta's only diamondiferous kimberlite pipes.

Monopros, as operator of the joint venture, has advised Troymin that a five person crew has been mobilized to Peace River to commence a drilling program. The program will take approximately two weeks. Results will be available about two weeks thereafter.
