Express 2003-05: Size may not matter in Quebec if the pipe has big stones
Is the 4 carat plus stone found embedded in core from the 17 tonne mini bulk sample taken from Ashton's Renard 65 pipe in Quebec a fluke or part of an emerging trend indicating small pipes with big diamonds? Existing information suggests this big stone is not fluke, but the mini bulk sample results will tell all. |

Express 2003-04: Biggest stone yet boosts FALC
Kensington reports 10.23 ct diamond, the biggest yet for Fort a la Corne, but this stone is likely an outlier of no statistical value, but does offer anecdotal support to theory that FALC hosts coarse diamond populations. Big stone news will boost optimism in outcome of Shore Gold's 25,000 tonne underground bulk sample on adjoining Star kimberlite. |

Express 2003-01: What can we expect for 2003?
Outlines a market scenario where an Iraq Attack turns into a test of the American Empire's ability to get things done, which in turn generates extreme uncertainty and anxiety about the future that will spike gold into new highs. A favorable outcome will cause gold to collapse from these highs, but probably to a level higher than $358. A gold spike followed by a retreat to $400 coupled with a resumption of global economic expansion in the wake of a US victory that drives base metal prices higher is the best scenario for a junior exploration bull market. Express 2003-01 also describes upcoming changes to the Kaiser Bottom-Fishing Report. |

Express 2002-09: Star looks similar to #141, but where are #141 results?
Raises questions about Johann Ferreira's value modeling effort in light of revelation that the "best fit" number is much closer to the optimsitic fit than the pessimistic fit, adopts Shore Gold as a top priority bottom-fish buy in the $0.76-$1.00 range based on similarity of Star kimberlite to Kensington's K140-141 kimberlite and the comparatively lower implied project value. |
