Winspear third most active conference Winspear Resources Ltd WSP Shares issued 33,721,333 Apr 16 close $3.70 Mon 19 Apr 99 Week ended April 16th by Stockwatch business reporter Winspear was reviewed in Forum Watch last week. In an April 14 Bottom-Fishing Tracker, newsletter writer John Kaiser directed a blistering condemnation against Winspear and Aber Resources for the legal dispute over the Camsell Lake property. According to Mr. Kaiser, the legal jousting amounts to nothing more than a "childish pissing match" between Aber's Ken Hanna and Winspear's Randy Turner. Winspear appears to take the brunt of Mr. Kaiser's displeasure: he suggests that Winspear's legal gambit is an attempt to insulate the company's promotion from Aber's drag; that Winspear "set a trap for Aber"; and that a Winspear win would have a chilling effect on exploration. The pace of the Winspear discussion has abated somewhat over the past week, dropping the conference into third position. Many of the posts early in the week were on the topic of the upcoming shareholders meeting and some of the items on the agenda. "At least it gives threadsters another bone to chew on besides the grade/value theme," Douglas wrote. As it turned out, many of the posters had not yet received their information circular, although some had accessed the documentation on the SEDAR site. There was some banter about company insiders helping themselves to a nice serving of options and other perks but the discussion returned to more familiar themes when Tom Z posed a series of questions regarding geological issues and asked for directions to Internet sites where further information could be obtained. WillP and Jspec both offered some useful information and Teevee contributed a couple of lengthy posts specifically addressing some of TomZ's geological questions. The exchanges on April 10 and 11 are well worth a read. The Winspear conference has gained a reputation for its useful and generally balanced discussion, drawing a number of posters from other sites. The conference has not been entirely free of wild rumours or provocations. In an example of the latter, Phantom2000 wrote: "...you pack of indefensible boobs, rouges and idiots are clueless as to simple first year geology and expect others to believe your rhetoric based upon scripts handed to you by WSP management. It is going to be a landmark turning point in Canadian mining history when the whole goddamn pack of you criminals are prosecuted for perpetrating fraud on the Internet." Cid and WillP had a little fun with the post before conference participants let the provocation slide. DiamondWillie wrote: "I think the best strategy to keep SW becoming like SI is to totally ignore posters like Phantom." That appears to have been the successful strategy adopted as the discussion returned to more pertinent matters. Among the topics briefly raised were Winspear's involvement in a European tour to promote VSE listed companies; the proposed share structure of the Diamondex spin-off; and an informational meeting to be attended by president Randy Turner in Calgary on April 21. In a rare occurrence, no major themes were established during the week and discussion fell off dramatically toward the end of the week. Winspear closed out the week at $3.70.
