Emcee:  Diane Francis Type:  Unmoderated
Introduction Compact
My name is Diane Francis and I'm writing a book and a screenplay about
Bre-X. ( For more information about me please see my biography at dianefrancis.com )

I am starting this thread as a forum for all parties interested in the Bre-X story who would like to discuss:

1) any information or interesting facts which have not been published in the mainstream press.

2) any information or interesting anecdotes about the role the Internet has played in the Bre-X story.

3) any other leads or ideas which may help my investigation.

If you wish to communicate with me in confidence, please send your email to the address bre-x@dianefrancis.com as soon as possible.

In anticipation of a large volume of responses and due to time constraints, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in advance for your responses and apologize if I am unable to reply to you personally.

Thanks,

Diane Francis
