Hi Natasha, yes I have been in Sudbury and have a rough idea what it looks like.(had a fairly large holding around Wawa at one time and a relative with a cottage at Georgian Bay) As for the understatement, I have been accused of hyping before for saying much less, so I'd rather have a pleasant surprise and say nothing.Murdo is on his way to Sudbury right now. So if there is any good news coming, it should come soon.cheers P.S. for anyone who would like to read the Schandl report, it is a public document and available, I was told, from the CDNX

Sudbury bringing what visual joys that it may...I'd much rather be in the south of Africa, kicking around a well assembled property. I've got to hand it to these guys at Platinum Group, they are making things happen. Right now, the share price is an absolute gift.

does anyone here follow Trend Mining, the Kaplan/Edelman/Soros PGM vehicle? i have inherited a very small position in this company, and as a non-geologist, find it almost impossible to evaluate. but then, since it is basically a land position with no established resource, let alone reserve, maybe i need a fortune teller, not a geologist?:-) be interested to hear from anyone who has an opinion (reasoned or otherwise). TIA: peter

(PTM: TSX Venture Exchange) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Option Agreement with Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. (“Wheaton River”) whereby Wheaton River can earn up to a 25% interest in the Shelby Lake and Lac des Iles River Properties by funding exploration expenditures totalling $400,000. An initial $200,000 exploration program, which will allow Wheaton River to earn a 10% interest in both properties, is planned to start immediately. PTM will be the operator of the exploration program. The initial program will include ground geophysics and drilling of approximately 1,000 meters. A minimum of four drill holes, totalling approximately 800 meters are planned to test the Stinger Zone where surface grab sampling returned values of 5.7g/t palladium, 1.0g/t platinum and 0.7g/t gold. This is the first drill test of the Stinger Zone, which is hosted by the Towle Lake Intrusive Complex (TLC). The TLC can be traced for over 20km and hosts at least two other significant platinum-palladium occurrences within PTM’s holdings. The second target, to be targeted by 2 holes, is a distinct geophysical feature near the western end of this trend. PTM can earn a 50% interest in the Shelby Lake Property by completing expenditures of $500,000 over 4 years and a 60% interest by expending an additional $500,000 over an additional 30-months under an underlying Option Agreement with New Claymore Resources Ltd. PTM holds the right to earn a 50% interest in the Lac des Iles River Property by undertaking exploration expenditures of $1,000,000 over 5 years and a 60% interest by funding a feasibility study under the terms of an underlying agreement with East West Resource Corp. and Maple Minerals Ltd. Wheaton River’s Option is contingent on PTM completing its underlying Option earn -ins. At the end of the initial $200,000 program Wheaton River and PTM have the option of converting the Wheaton River’s property interest to PTM common shares. The obligations of PTM are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. About Platinum Group Metals Ltd. PTM remains firmly focussed on platinum and palladium mineral exploration and development opportunities and has a large portfolio of mineral rights. PTM recently completed an amalgamation with New Millennium Metals Corp. Both companies have been active platinum-palladium explorers since 2000. A program of 9,000 meters of drilling, as part of a $1.25M program, funded by Anglo Platinum on the company’s Agnew Lake Project was announced April 18, 2002. PTM has also recently announced (April 24, 2002) a $1,000,000 brokered private placement at $0.25 per Common Share with Pacific International Securities Ltd. contingent on, and to close part and parcel with, a confidential property acquisition target. The Company has received full interest in the potential placement and is now pursuing the acquisition targets.

SRU.V - Second Drill Rig To Define Open-Pit Potential - Western Boundary Staked To Cover UTEM Extension (enews) Ferguson Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-Platinum-Palladium Project, Nunavut, Canada The Starfield Resources Inc. (CDNX: SRU; OTC-BB: SRFDF) 2002 drill program, underway since March 2002, has been designed to achieve three objectives. The initial stage of drilling consists of coring three wedged offset holes from drill hole FL01-101 which reported on October 3, 2001 a 0.35 meter intersection grading 103 g/t palladium, 26.7 g/t platinum and 2.74 g/t rhodium at a depth of 962.28 meters. The three offset intersections, to be compiled and reported to the Company by independent consultant, Dr. N.C. Carter, P.Eng., upon his receipt of all results, are designed to determine orientation of this new PGE horizon to direct further detailed exploration. A second drill rig on site will immediately commence coring approximately 2,600 meters in 22 holes of definition and fill-in drilling of higher grade, near surface West Zone massive sulphides located between Sections 40W and 50W. Currently, this region of West Zone is estimated to contain 8.1 million tonnes grading 1.07% copper, 0.83% nickel, 1.53 g/t palladium and 0.20 g/t platinum at a 1.5% copper + nickel cutoff and includes 2.5 million tonnes grading 1.18% copper, 1.04% nickel, 1.78 g/t palladium and 0.29 g/t platinum at a 2.0% copper + nickel cutoff. Preliminary mineral resource estimates for West Zone between Sections 40W and 50W are based on 50 drill holes, including historic Inco holes for which nickel, copper and only partial PGE assays are reported. The holes drilled by Starfield during 1999 and 2000 were analyzed for nickel, copper, palladium, platinum and cobalt. Dr. Carter's 22 hole program is designed to upgrade the mineral resource from an "inferred" to an "indicated" category as defined by the CIM Standing Committee, to further increase the resource estimate and to establish PGE and cobalt values. The combined drill results should also provide sufficient information to allow a preliminary assessment and design of open pit mine potential in this area. Additional exploration is scheduled to test extensions to the West Zone, as indicated by UTEM and magnetic geophysical anomalies, at depth in the area of Section 6160W (below drill holes FL01-84, 99, and 104) and along strike in the areas from Section 80W to 84W and Section 106W to 110W. After reviewing geophysical data Starfield has acquired, by staking, two additional mineral claims which increases the Company's land holding by 4,100 hectares to a new total of 28,100 hectares. These claims adjoin the western boundary of the Ferguson Lake property and protect a 10-kilometer long area into which the West Zone is projected to extend. Crews to operate the second rig are on site and will commence drilling immediately.

Great drillresults if they are anywheres near true widths! Wednesday May 15, 10:00 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: Fort Knox Gold Resources Inc. via BCE Emergis e-News Services Fort Knox-Dynatec Sudbury Joint Venture Discovers New Nickel Mineralization and Confirms Previous Drill Results Toronto, Ontario Fort Knox Gold Resources Inc. (FNX-TSE) and Dynatec Corporation (DY-TSE) are pleased to announce the discovery of new nickel mineralization in a previously undrilled area within the McCreedy West property and that Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd -Au mineralization has been confirmed within known mineralized zones at the McCreedy West and Levack properties. HIGHLIGHTS McCREEDY WEST PROPERTY * The discovery of high-grade nickel mineralization in a previously undrilled and readily accessible part of the McCreedy West mine has the potential to be a new mineralized zone (Inter Main Zone). * At the PM Zone, the intersection of significant Cu-Ni-TPM mineralization over a 250-ft. core interval along with shorter sections of much higher grade mineralization, confirms the previous drill results. * Inter Main Zone: 52.3 ft. 0.4% Cu, 3.2% Ni, 0.2 g/t TPM * Upper Main Zone: 35.0 ft. 0.6% Cu, 1.7% Ni, 0.2 g/t TPM * PM Zone: 250.7 ft. 1.2% Cu, 0.2% Ni, 6.2 g/t TPM (including) 24.6 ft. 2.1% Cu, 0.5% Ni, 24.6 g/t TPM (including) 24.7 ft. 1.7% Cu, 0.5% Ni, 15.1 g/t TPM (including) 67.0 ft. 2.2% Cu, 0.3% Ni, 11.3 g/t TPM (including) 15.3 ft. 7.5% Cu, 0.8% Ni, 30.7 g/t TPM LEVACK PROPERTY * Significant Cu-Ni-TPM mineralization was intersected in the 1300 and 1900 Zones and a strong borehole geophysical anomaly indicates that the two zones may be connected and warrant extensive drilling. * 1300 Zone: 35.7 ft. 0.6% Cu, 2.0% Ni, 0.8 g/t TPM (including) 19.3 ft. 0.9% Cu, 2.6% Ni, 0.9 g/t TPM * 1900 Zone: 20.0 ft. 2.8% Cu, 2.0% Ni, 3.0 g/t TPM (including) 8.7 ft. 5.3% Cu, 4.4% Ni, 5.1 g/t TPM 13.5 ft. 1.3% Cu, 2.1% Ni, 1.7 g/t TPM (including) 6.1 ft. 2.1% Cu, 4.2% Ni, 3.2 g/t TPM Notes: * The lengths reported are drill intersected core lengths and not an estimate of true widths. * TPM refers to Total Precious Metals defined as Pt+Pd+Au. ??g/t refers to grams per metric tonne * Above intersection summaries are detailed in attached Tables 1 and 2 The above intersection summaries are part of the initial results from the previously announced Cdn$14 million exploration and development program being conducted by the Fort Knox-Dynatec Sudbury Joint Venture (see April 29, 2002 FNX and DY press release). Fort Knox is the exploration operator and conducts all exploration on behalf of the Sudbury Joint Venture, which is owned 75% by Fort Knox and 25% by Dynatec. The on-going drill program was initiated on March 21, 2002 and nine drill rigs are currently in operation. Seven boreholes, totaling 15,887 ft., have been completed to date on the McCreedy West and Levack properties. The Sudbury Joint Venture properties (McCreedy West, Levack, Victoria, Norman and Kirkwood) are all former copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and gold (Au) producers. The properties are located in the Sudbury District of northeastern Ontario and are covered by previously announced agreements between Fort Knox and Inco (see January 11, 2002 FNX press release) and Fort Knox and Dynatec Corporation (see February 3, 2002 FNX and DY press release). For a detailed description of the properties and previous work on the properties please go to the Fort Knox website "www.fnxmining.com " and Fort Knox's Annual Information Form dated December 21, 2001. References to previous or historical drill assays are extracted from Dr. J.M. Patterson's November 7, 2001 report entitled Property Report, Sudbury, Ontario, Cu-Ni-PGE Properties or have been independently verified by Fort Knox 's Qualified Persons and are the sole responsibility of Fort Knox. The full text of Dr. Patterson's report can be found on Fort Knox's website. Inter Main Zone, McCreedy West Property The discovery borehole (DDH 3020) in a potential new zone (the "Inter Main Zone") was designed to test the Cu-PGM rich PM Zone at depth in the footwall of the McCreedy West property. It passed through a previously undrilled area of McCreedy West contact zone and intersected 52.3 ft. of mineralization grading 3.2% Ni at the base of the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC). The Inter Main Zone consists of nickel-rich, Sudbury Basin contact-type mineralization. A previous borehole drilled in the East Zone approximately 270 ft. up-dip from the discovery borehole contains two mineralized intersections grading 0.4% Cu, 3.4% Ni over 10.3 ft. and 0.5% Cu, 2.8% Ni over 15.8 ft. A borehole drilled 420 ft. to the west of the discovery borehole cut 0.8% Cu, 3.0% Ni over 9.5 ft. and a borehole located 222 ft. down dip from the discovery borehole intersected 0.1% Cu, 1.0% Ni over 33.1 ft. The Inter Main Zone, situated between the unmined East Main Zone and an unmined portion of the Lower Main Zone, is interpreted by Fort Knox to represent a possible, previously undetected, embayment/terrace at the base of the SIC. Embayment/terrace structures at the contact of the SIC are traditional hosts of Sudbury Basin contact-type ore deposits. A borehole UTEM geophysical response associated with the Inter Main Zone discovery intersection indicates that a significant anomaly extends down dip from the intersection. The discovery of a possible embayment/terrace containing a relatively thick intersection of high-grade nickel mineralization in a readily accessible part of the McCreedy West mine has the potential to influence the Sudbury Joint Venture's near term operating plans. A second drill rig has been deployed to the area to test the significance of the discovery. Upper Main Deposit, McCreedy West Property The Ni-Cu contact-type Upper Main deposit occurs at the base of the SIC. It was previously mined from the 250 ft. Level to the 600 ft. Level. Mineralization is known to extend 100 to 150 ft. below 600 Level and remains un-mined at this location. Fourteen previous boreholes drilled below the 600 Level intersected 25 significantly mineralized intersections (e.g. 0.8% Cu, 2.2% Ni, over 44.6 ft. and 0.4% Cu, 2.2% Ni, over 76.8 ft). Fort Knox's first borehole in the Upper Main (DDH 3000) was designed to confirm the previous Upper Main drill results and to continue into the footwall to test the PM Zone. DDH 3000 cut three intersections in the Upper Main Zone, with the highest grade intersection being 0.6% Cu, 1.7% Ni, 0.2 g/t TPM over 35.0 ft. The Upper Main Zone will continue to be tested by boreholes designed to explore the underlying PM Zone. An engineering/economic evaluation is required to determine the viability of mining the Upper Main deposit. PM Zone, McCreedy West Property The PM Zone occurs in the footwall of the McCreedy West Property between the 1450 ft. and 2500 ft. Levels and is approximately 1500 ft. by 1500 ft. in size. Forty three previous drill holes yielded 42 significant drill intersections, with 32 greater than 20 ft. The previous drilling demonstrated that the PM Zone contains long intersections of significant Cu and TPM values (e.g. 1.1% Cu, 0.3% Ni, 5.6 g/t TPM over 126.0 ft) and narrower intersections of higher grade Cu, Ni and TPM values (e.g. 10.8% Cu, 2.8% Ni, 121.9 g/t TPM over 7.5 ft.). Fort Knox's first borehole into the PM Zone (DDH 3000) intersected the strongest mineralization reported to date. DDH 3000 cut 250.7 ft. grading 1.2% Cu, 0.2% Ni, 6.2 g/t TPM with shorter sections of much higher grades (2.2% Cu, 0.3% Ni, 11.3 g/t TPM over 67.0' and 7.5% Cu, 0.8% Ni, 30.7 g/t TPM over 15.3 ft.). Although the true width of this intersection cannot yet be determined, it is estimated that the true width will be approximately 60% of the core length. It appears that portions of the PM Zone may not give strong UTEM responses due to low sulphide content. However, a prominent, good quality, offhole UTEM response was detected to the west of the known extent of the PM Zone in an area of limited drilling. The PM Zone will continue to be tested with boreholes designed to also intersect the overlying Upper Main and Inter Main contact-type deposits at the base of the SIC. 1300 Zone, Levack Property The Ni-Cu 1300 Zone is a contact-type Sudbury Basin deposit that occurs at the base of the SIC. It has a known strike length of at least 650 ft. and is open in all directions. It is untested down dip where it may connect to the 1900 Ni-Cu-PM Zone. Seven previous boreholes cut 6 intersections (e.g. 1.1% Cu, 3.3% Ni over 65.7 ft. and 0.8% Cu, 3.6% Ni over 5.8 ft.). Fort Knox's first borehole in the 1300 Zone (DDH 2000) intersected the fringes of the 1300 Zone and cut minor sulphides over two intervals of 25 ft. and 40 ft. The borehole continued through the 1900 Zone and cut 35.7 ft. of mineralization containing two short sections (2.9 ft. and 2.0 ft) of massive sulphides for which assays are awaited. The second borehole to test the 1300 Zone (DDH 2001) intersected 0.6% Cu, 2.0% Ni, 0.8 g/t TPM over 35.7 ft., including 0.9% Cu, 2.6% Ni, 0.9 g/t TPM over 19.3 ft. The 1300 Zone will be further tested in conjunction with the drilling of the 1900 Zone. 1900 Zone, Levack Property The 1900 Zone occurs within the same embayment structure as the 1300 Zone. It contains high Ni, Cu and TPM values and has a known strike length of at least 1300 ft., a dip length of at least 900 ft. and is open in all directions. Fifteen previous boreholes cut 18 significant intersections (e.g. 1.9% Cu, 2.6% Ni, 4.4 g/t TPM over 87.4 ft. and 1.1% Cu, 2.1% Ni, 2.2 g/t TPM over 11.8 ft.). DDH 2001 continued beyond the 1300 Zone into the 1900 Zone and intersected 1.0% Cu, 1.0% Ni, 1.8 g/t TPM over 82.6 ft., including two narrower intersections with higher grades (2.8% Cu, 2.0% Ni, 3.0 g/t TPM over 20.0 ft. and 5.3% Cu, 4.4% Ni, 5.1 g/t TPM over 8.7 ft.). DDH 2003 was designed to test a previously detected borehole UTEM anoma ly interpreted to indicate a continuation of the 1300 and 1900 Zones. DDH 2003 intersected mineralization which graded 1.3% Cu, 2.1% Ni, 1.7 g/t TPM over 13.5 ft., including 2.1% Cu, 4.2% Ni, 3.2g/t TPM over 6.1 ft. Borehole UTEM geophysical surveys from the two 1900 Zone boreholes indicate strong conductivity anomalies associated with the mineralized intersections and warrant further testing. Analytical Techniques and Methodology The drill core is processed at Fort Knox's secure core handling facility in Sudbury, Ontario. The core is logged, and marked for sampling by qualified personnel. The core to be sampled is sawn in half; one half of the sawn core is securely bagged and the remaining half is retained for future reference and study. The bagged core samples are shipped by commercial transport to ALS Chemex sample preparation facility in Mississauga, Ontario. ALS Chemex crushes the samples to 10 mesh and a 250-gram split of the crushed sample is pulverized to -200 mesh. A 100-gram split of the pulp is shipped to the ALS Chemex laboratory in Vancouver for assaying. Remaining crushed sample material and pulverized rejects are stored at the ALS Chemex sample preparation lab in Mississauga. All ALS Chemex Sample Preparation facilities and Analytical Laboratories are registered under the ISO 9001:2000 quality standard. Assays for base metals are done by ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy) following Sodium Peroxide Fusion. Assays for Precious Metals (Pt, Pd Au) are carried out by ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry). Quality control samples (reference materials, blanks and duplicates) are inserted by the laboratory. The analytical results are transmitted to Fort Knox's Sudbury office, verified and merged with the borehole logs. Check assaying is systematically conducted on the remaining half of the core, the pulps and crusher rejects. Fort Knox is the exploration operator for the Sudbury Joint Venture and James M. Patterson, Ph.D, Member AGO, and Vice President Exploration of Fort Knox Gold Inc. is the designated Qualified Person and is responsible for the verification and quality assurance of the exploration data and analytical results. The Fort Knox-Dynatec Sudbury Joint Venture drill program will continue to operate with two drill rigs on the Levack, Norman and Victoria properties and three drill rigs on the McCreedy West property. A tenth drill rig will be added shortly. Exploration results will be released on the Norman and Victoria properties as results are received and processed. This press release contains certain forward-looking statements, which may materially differ from actual results. For further information, please contact: Fort Knox Gold Resources Inc.

Check this out. The information should be out at the opening: PLATINUM GROUP METALS SEES INCREASED POTENTIAL AT LEVACK BLOCK FOLLOWING THE McCREEDY WEST DISCOVERY Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (PTM: TSX Venture Exchange) is pleased to announce that it has completed a ground magnetic geophysical survey and reviewed the regional gravity data and geological setting on the Company’s, 100% owned, Levack Block 3km north west of the discoveries announced today at the McCreedy West and Levack Mines, Sudbury Ontario. The survey completed in the past few weeks along with the gravity data and the new model for the area, indicate potential for a previously unmapped Offset Dyke and mineralization on the Levack Block. A significant new embayment of the Sudbury Intrusive Structure was announced in the McCreedy West area today. Embayments are important structural controls for mineralization along the Sudbury Intrusive Structure and the mineralization along them commonly extend outwards. There is a 1.9% Nickel occurrence in Sudbury breccia rocks, on surface, on the Levack Block.

Hi Natasha, I shall glance at PTM now and then, but as I do not invest outside Canada, I won't buy it regardless.I'm quite committed in Sudbury where my hopes are on fgr.a /glb.I don't know if you are following it or not, but for me it is THE play to watch.Drilling is underway and it was not even their priority to drill there.Their # 1 interest is Cobalt Hill and the ELO is #2.Wolf lake should remain #3, except if gold goes to $350 ,then it may get faster attention as they have anywhere from one to two hundred thousand (no official figure available)oz at shallow depth,easily to be accessed.A ramp may be planed there.If you live around Sudbury,you can buy yourself a pan and get your gold out of the Wolf Lake which is northeast of Sudbury.And it's free if you don't mind the black flies.There is also a foot thick vein of gold 700 feet under the lake yielding 22 (twenty-two) oz /t.If you are familiar with the mining jingo,a read of the Schandle report, which is available from the Vancouver exchange, would be an interesting bit for the exploration in the Sudbury mining camp. Despite all the criticism,Flag has a pool of knowledgeable people it can call on for assistance at little or no cost and it is just a matter time before it will pay of. I wish you the best of luck with your endeavour and hope we both strike it rich. Best regards,ali

Ali, Okay, I just thought I would mention Platinum Metals Group (PTM) because you have posted on the thread in the past. The company has an interest in the Sudbury area, for sure - but is also expanding it's horizons. I usually hold my breath when a small junior like this wants to go globe-trotting, but in my opinion, this is an exception. You mention Wolf Lake. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that where Callanan Mines has a stake?
