About an hour west of gt falls, next to the mtns. Looked at 4 outcrops/buttes while i was down there, sampled 2, but not totally what i was hoping for--the greens and reds are pretty pale. Got some neat stuff outa one transition zone and brought home some rocks that'll at least look good in the garden! The one's i sampled had been 'mined' a little for rip rap, so were opened up fairly good. Just talked to a guy with ranch outa forest grove--this property's gotta be fairly close to that--he's the type that won't rest till knows exactly. How much paper's out on this stock? When you say 'just across the line'---taber, milk river, mtn view? I was up there this spring, looking at shallow gas play-SW of milk river-the guy's got 15 sections, there's prod on 3 sides, new pipeline into cut bank outa provide a market. Had the geo along and a local pumper who farms outa milk river. Them existing gas wells got 'tattletales' on them, at least a mo on one chart, looks like a nice little play.
I live in montana and am going thru this area tomorrow--can anyone give me any details of exactly where it's at? How much paper is out on this co? tia.
Altius moving up nicely, think con ed spent millions on the uranium property als got for about 35,000 staking costs.
Big fat blow hard doper hypocrite who gets his maid to score his fix. Gimme a break.
Well, you can't do if you don't try. Where you gonna be at, in calgary--got a booth or a room or what? I'll probably drive over.
Heck there, for awhile i thought you were serious and trying to be insulting. Finally got the joke--I mean, anybody with any kind of a semi-legitimate play that can't raise $$$ in this market would have to be really really SSSSSSS--you know, the S word.
"Its the gold, stupid." Is it? And to think I thought it was the promo--stupid.
Wildcat ever get any money/projects put together?
Ibm? Lactose intolerant?! What's up with this board--thought this outfit was raising money--something about gold?
Pshaw, Pilgrim. Load-up on Latinum.
Yes, very much so. Especially the brazil--got maybe 50mm shares out, with the long halt and resuming strong, I thought more people might have chosen to get out. Not sure if most don't realize it's resumed, or maybe do know the story. With some of it's previous pp's, Jag has put $$ into the mine and is already delivering ore. Will be pouring gold shortly--not many jrs can say that.
YBZ resumes trading--new symbol BZI.H ---owns part of JAG.V---which just got listed after reverse takeover of rainbow. Kind of convoluted deal. Bottem line is both have been moving up (for two whole days!) and JAG will be pouring gold shortly. Here's a release:
Rainbow Gold And Jaguar Mining Amalgamate; Jaguar Closes US$10.2 Million Private Placement
10/14/03
Rainbow Gold Ltd. ('Rainbow') and Jaguar Mining Inc. ('Jaguar') are pleased to announce that the shareholders of each company agreed to amalgamate pursuant to an amalgamation agreement dated June 16, 2003, as supplemented by an addendum dated October 8, 2003. The terms of the amalgamation are described in Rainbow's man
agement information circular dated August 26, 2003. The amalgamation was completed on October 9, 2003. The amalgamated company is called 'Jaguar Mining Inc.'and is governed under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).
Prior to the amalgamation, Jaguar completed a private placement of 5,102,500 common shares at a price of US$2.00 per common share for gross proceeds of US$10,205,000. The net proceeds from this
offering will be used to upgrade mineral resources, engineering and permitting, and for professional fees and working capital. Jaguar has recently commenced mining operations at its wholly owned Sabara gold property, near Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais,
Brazil.
Kingsdale Capital Partners, Inc. and Kingsdale Capital Markets, Inc. (collectively, 'Kingsdale') were engaged as agent in respect of the completed financing referred to above. Kingsdale has received an agent's fee of US$612,300, which is 6% of the gross proceeds, plus an agent's option to acquire up to 357,175 Jaguar common shares at US$2.00 for a period of two years from the date Jaguar is listed for trading. Kingsdale is also Jaguar's sponsor in connection with the amalgamation transaction.
The amalgamation agreement provides that the amalgamated company will assume the debt obligations of Rainbow outstanding as at the effective time of the amalgamation, and such debt owing to insiders of Rainbow will be satisfied by issuance of 50,288 common shares of the amalgamated company at US$1.00 per share and such debt owing to creditors other than insiders of Rainbow will be satisfied by cash payment.
After issuance of the shares described above, the amalgamated company will have 18,827,602 common shares outstanding (23,092,457 fully-diluted). Subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, the common shares of the amalgamated company are expected to trade under the symbol 'JAG'. Jaguar's CUSIP number is 47009M 10 3.
In an exempt related party transaction, Jaguar has loaned US$800,000 to Brazilian Resources, Inc. ('Brazilian') in return for a first option to purchase Brazilian's interest in the Santa Maria gold project. Brazilian used the proceeds of the loan to purchase 500,000 common shares of Jaguar from a third party. The loan bears interest at 5% per annum compounded annually, matures October 1, 2005, and is secured by the 500,000 Jaguar shares. Brazilian holds 4,973,008 common shares of Jaguar representing approximately 26% of the issued and outstanding shares of Jaguar.

Kinross gold just aquired crce.ob's property in northern washington state. By my math, I'm up about 50% on the paper, plus will get some slr. Nice way to end the day.
I still say for rocket propelled roller skates, parachutes, etc, the ACME stuff field tested by Wile E. is hard to beat.
I've worked extensively in high desert country, most recently around Elko, Nevada. Frankly, I haven't had that good of luck with Atlas equipment, maybe didn't give it a fair trial. ACME has always been my supplier of choice, and there is a 'field rep' in the area with vast experience of falls, drops, etc from cliffs. A fairly Wiley individual, I must say.
I've travelled there extensively myself--back in the hippie/hostel days. Collected a lot of the elements you mentioned, some not even on the famous occasional chart yet. But the wonder element/drug/shoehorn/ is and always will be latinum---1001 and one uses, a complete medical kit and fairly good toolchest in every qorto of it.
Thanks, SurfaceProbe. eom.
Is there any place a guy can get kinda a readers digest (condensed version) of John K.'s stuff? I like reading him, but central america has had revolutions that took less time.
Lotsa money to be made in China. But their terlits ain't much. Funny, them people have a very old civilization, but
have never figgered out the indoor plumbing deal very good. Which has always struck me as odd, considering their food. Re Christmas list, I'm gonna make a humongous
batch of rum fruitcakes, so you're wise in not screwing that up. Define "up north", I plan on doing some work
in northern B.C. late fall, or more likely next spring.
Are you for real going to do something with Wildcat?
"Nothing there really. That CTG chart is phony." Bull. Hide and watch.
Thanks for posting the chart. They've got proven property in colorado, with mill, permits in place. Don't think they plan on doing much drilling there, would rather drive an adit and go to mining, ought to hit half a dozen known veins and maybe find some more.
They've got some blu-sky stuff arond red lake.
They've got some very prospective stuff in nevada, I've been on some of it.
What I especially like is the people, George is a miner, spent 20 yrs or so overseas, mining, plus some in N. America. Their consulting geo is very sharp and more motivated by love of his craft than $$. Terry Heard does the staking, is also a geo (as is George) and was a very well known name in last Canadian diamond boom. All these guys are very sharp, experienced and connected.
Wandered off like a lost sheep, 'eh? While ducks might not be perfect medium of exchange, they might make more sense than fiat money. At least they have some value and are real. But I do prefer gold. Of charts you posted, one I know best is midway. I've never been sold on their property, reserves or prospects. In nevada, I prefer ctg.v. Could you post ctg.v 's chart--I don't seem to be able to. Quack! (Thanks!)lj
Need a few common ones, set 'em up like decimal system,Dewey. Maybe teal, mud duck, mallard, honker, mute swan. But still would like to put phuka (many spelling variations, i know--but familiar to all) in the lineup, somewhar.
Interesting idea, but I already own stock I've never heard of. I know a guy who figgers inflation/relative buying power by how many yearling steers it takes him to buy a new ford 4x4. Let's do livestock exchange. I realize yrlg. steers might not fit everybody's backyard, so possibly something smaller? I'm open to suggestions, but am leaning towards ducks. Kind of an all terrain animal. Almost everybody's got a bath tub. Work well on a leash, and well-behaved, tucked under an arm. Good company. Doubtlessly easier to digest than some of the stock I've had to eat.
Could we get one with a lunch counter? And maybe a cot, and one of them little fridges? ctg and zpa both up again, today. Stand aside--you might get ZAPPED!
Ya, Boulder is looking good. On a previous list, you gotta have cast-latinum gonadsters to leave zappa off of nevada long shot list. That's just plain asking to get ZAPPED!
Latinum? It's just about the handiest stuff you can have around! I'd never heard of this stuff till my cousin Joe was in Peace Corp--they'd found a whole gob of it, trying to dig a well. (I can't remember where he was, but it was someplace hot and had lots of bugs) He brought home a suitcase full, and we used it for all sorts of stuff. Fixed a carbureator for the maytag with it. Put it on the milk cows with sore teats. Used it to replace missing buttons on church coat. It'll kill yellowjackets. There was a little store down there that started selling it, and I've ordered lots more over the years. Their motto: Absatively and Positutely Guaranteed not to rattle, clatter, rust or bust. Good for fits, farts, freckles, moles, cold sores. Makes childbirth a pleasure.
Cool. I'm putting two more houses and a hotel on park place. and buying a rr. hopefully, the B O.

Altius Minerals Has Ensured Future Cash Flow With Purchase Of Part of Voisey's Bay Royalty.
Minews last wrote about Canadian listed Altius Minerals in April, but in the meantime the company has transformed itself by acquiring part of a nickel royalty on the Voisey's Bay nickel project which is due to start production in late 2005 or early 2006. Brian Dalton the CEO of Altius was in London last week to explain the background to this deal and lay the ground for future developments. Voisey's Bay, it will be remembered, is a world class nickel sulphide project discovered in Labrador by Robert Friedland's Diamond Fields back in 1995. It was then sold to Inco the following year for squillions of dollars , but the various authorities in Newfoundland and Labrador managed to delay its development by at least five years.
Every successful mining entrepreneur needs a bit of luck and it was Brian Dalton's luck that a friend of his from way back when they had earned their way through university by hatching exploration plays, was involved in the limited partnership which owns a 3 per cent net smelter royalty over Voisey's Bay. For reasons of his own this friend wanted some cash in his hand rather than wait another two or three years. It was agreed, therefore, that 10 per cent of this royalty would be sold to Altius for shares. Even a 10 per cent interest in the royalty at current metal prices and exchange rates is expected to spin off between C$2.2 million and C$2.6 million a year which means that the whole shebang would generate ten times the amount.
The deal suits both parties as Altius can anticipate significant cash flow and the vendor can sell Altius shares for cash or ride with the company and benefit from any successes achieved by its joint venture exploration projects in Newfoundland and Labrador where a number of leading companies are its partners. This spread of risk in exploration from a company which has achieved consistent growth in its share price has obvious attractions and it should be no surprise if Brian Dalton and his friend enlarge this deal. It would still leave the limited partnership with a lot more annual income than two thirds of Canada's producers if the deal was doubled to a 20 per cent share, and both Altius and the vendor maintain major exposure to any rise in the prices of nickel, copper and cobalt.
In the meantime Altius soldiers on with its exploration projects. Brian Dalton sees no need to move further afield. Newfoundland itself has a unique geological history with rocks that illustrate the complete tectonic cycle from the rifting of an ancient continental mass through to eventual closure through subduction which generated plutonism, related volcanism, and related mineralising events. If that sounds a bit technical, take it that the earth's surface crunched up all around Newfoundland releasing a lot of liquefied metals and minerals. Roland Butler, one of the directors of Altius, convinced Barrick that the Botwood Basin, at the centre of this disturbance, was a dead ringer for the Carlin Trend in Nevada with its epithermal gold deposits. Barrick signed up as a joint venture partner on the Mustang trend in December 2001. It has withdrawn since becoming part of Newmont, but Butler still has faith and expects a new partner soon.
Last month Altius began drilling the Rocky Brook property in western Newfoundland where it is targeting the source of boulders which contain very high grade uranium mineralisation. The exploration is being funded by Cameco Corporation, a world leader in the uranium business, which is earning up to a 65 per cent interest in the project by spending C$3.5 million and making some cash payments to Altius. Work done so far has developed a number of target areas and about 80 shallow holes are being drilled into them.
At the same time Altius has drilled a vertical hole 1,256.8 metres deep on its own account at the Rambler project near Baie Verte. This does not mean that the company is changing its policy as the resulting data will be used to attract a joint venture partner. Asked if this policy would vary if he was sure that he was sitting on a major deposit, the answer from Brian Dalton is still, "No, there is always geological risk and our shareholders appreciate the way we do things here." Last week Altius announced that the hole had intersected a copper-gold bearing VMS style stringer system. In addition a significant off-hole conductor was identified and this anomaly will now be drilled. In the closing months of this year Altius will therefore be busy as it is also drilling a multi-ounce /tonne gold veing system with Sudbury Contact Mines as partner and some large , high grade polymetallic targets with Inmet. The newsflow should be more than sufficient to hold the attention of investors.

I think Zappa might have some more ZIP! in it this week.
" (swallowers are severely chastised)." As well they should be--I'd give 'em the boot, ifen it was my joint. E.C.--I see you've mentioned zappa and cottonwood, but don't forget the Toe Jam part of zpa's deal.
Wasn't zweeb--maybe zweezel? amd i think there was a moonglow, or something similiar. anyway, zappa went zup a little more today, seems to getting some zomentum.
When I saw the results Zappa (not Zweeb Zappa, but another one) got on their surface follow up sampling--on their Toe Jam claim, well, by golly, I just had to buy a little more. ZAP!
Give that cowboy a re-ride.
How much is copenhagen, is it cheaper by the roll and do you have any recipes to make your own>
The Front Range deals in colorado are in news releases and on co web site. Proven mine, plus some more property, mill and permit in place. The deal with Tech-cominco is also in news release. A third party--consultant with Placer, I think, --told me he thought they were doing some staking in Nevada, and thought they had already done some. This was in passing, the point he was making was that he found working for a major frustrating, kinda slow and cumbersome, and that it was no wonder the little guys found most of the gold, said they were nimble and decisive. Plus the incentive is there--they ain't working for wages. As for news, I called the co, and they said they'd probably have some out in a day or two. No big mystery, 'eh? I met these guys at pda, thru mutual friends, and was impressed with them personally and with their experience. Been buying it off and on ever since, figured it would move sooner, but this last run kinda caught me by surprise.
Private land. Existing mines. Deals with majors. New staking. Up 17% today, on 3X volumne. News? Maybe tomorrow?
CTG on the move--again. Periodically I just gotta tell how good their prospects are. I still feel the same, only more so.
Yossarian?
Robert Service?
