With the diamond rays of misery pounding on my brain? Or am I lost in tale of Chuck Fipke, adrift far from home I don't think so, I don't think so. Ashton Mining Broke My Will to Live Ashton Mining Broke My Will to Live Ashton Mining Broke My Will to Live I was getting better but then Ashton Mining Broke My Will to Live I feel miserable Kimberlites rot the flesh from my bones I feel miserable Crater faces defeat my purpose I feel miserable Micro counts are doing their best to impale my soul I want to die Is it because of Alberta Diamond Play that I feel this way?

<<Any thoughts boys?>> EVR is in a good position if ACA comes up with the goods in this area. Meo as well -but the leverage is good for EVR. Bottom line is that it is pure luck now. The kims are in the area -we just need the correct ones. If anyone tells you there is definitely diamonds -or definitly otherwise -they are full of it until they are proven up. JP

Hi Valiant;The "diamond hunt" is slowly but surely progressing in a number of areas in Alberta with companies like Ashton,Montello,New Claymore,Troymin,Everett,Vulcan Minerals,Buffalo Diamonds etc. actively engaged in airborne,ground magnetics and drilling programs.The Calling Lake area seems to be attracting a good deal of attention as several companies are moving forward methodically in advancing their exploration programs to the drilling stage. The latest from Vulcan Minerals(Feb 9/99)indicates a minimum of 14 high priority targets out of a total of 24 possible targets for kimberlites.Here is the complete press release for investors who are carefully following exploration developments in the general area of Calling Lake: Vulcan Minerals Inc. - Multiple Magnetic Targets for Kimberlites in Alberta Stock Symbol: VUL:ASE Shares issued: 9,519,500 ST. JOHN'S, NF, Feb. 9 /CNW/ - Vulcan Minerals Inc. (the company, ASE:VUL) is pleased to report on the results of its recent high-resolution magnetic survey in Alberta (news release December 1, 1998). The survey was designed to test for magnetic anomalies characteristic of kimberlites along a portion of the Snow Bird Tectonic zone, a major northeast-southwest trending geologic structure near Lac la Biche. Spectra Aviation Services carried out the acquisition program and Geophysical Exploration and Development Corporation (GEDCO) of Calgary processed and interpreted the data for the identification of possible targets for kimberlites. GEDCO reports the identification of twenty-four (24) targets that have magnetic characteristics that could be caused by kimberlite diatremes. Three (3) targets are categorized as rank I targets, being the best quality prospects. Eleven (11) targets are categorized as rank II and ten (10) targets are categorized as rank III. As well, four (4) additional targets were selected on the basis of their reverse magnetic signatures and given the lowest rank IV rating. GEDCO also notes that there are other interesting targets within the data that may be considered for examination if the ranked targets prove to be kimberlites. Only drill testing will confirm or deny the existence of kimberlites. Based on the survey results and the geologic setting of the Lac la Biche area Vulcan is formulating an exploration strategy to follow-up the targets identified. Vulcan owns 100% interest in metallic and industrial mineral permits covering approximately 2.1 million acres in Alberta as part of its search for diamondiferous kimberlites. The Alberta Stock Exchange neither approves nor disapproves of the information contained herein. -30- For further information: Mr. Patrick Laracy, President of Vulcan Minerals Inc. at (709) 754-3186, fax (709) 754-3946 or Email: laracy@thezone.net, Website: info-mine.com
