JOHN EMBRY: “-----. (Miner) Costs have gone up a lot and their profits have been subdued because of that. I believe though that in the next move up in the gold price - and I'm not looking for a small move - I'm looking for at least $2,000 in this year - I don't think the costs will run anywhere near that rate and that finally we're going to see some major bottom line numbers for these guys and more than that, they will probably start paying fairly reasonable dividends in a world that's really short of good income - that will be a major incentive to buy them. -----------.”

ALF FIELDS: “------. I think that we can conclude that your (Jim Sinclair) $1650 forecast will come close to achievement during the up-move which should start this week. ----.”
