Dear Friend,

It is important that you indicate your preferences for one-on-ones at our March 27^th conference among the 13 visiting companies in order for us to accommodate your wishes, please.  The companies are Barrick Gold, Agnico-Eagle Mines, Virginia Mines, Pan-American Silver, Hecla Mining, Taseko Mines, Mercator Minerals, Quaterra Mines, Skye Resources, Polymet Mining, Duluth Metals, Franconia Minerals and Selkirk Mines. Two companies, Quaterra and Virginia, are the same geologists that sold lucrative gold deposits to Goldcorp.  Several base metals companies have 1 to 20 billion pound copper, nickel or zinc deposits that appear very prospective in view of higher commodity prices.

Enclosed are an update on Skye Resources in view of its new CEO appointment February 29^th, an evaluation from the viewpoint of Alcoa's outside independent directors after Bahraini bribery allegations February 28^th and our normal weekly spot market review.

We will be in Toronto March 6^th visiting TeckCominco and some gold mines, San Francisco March 19^th-20^th, the Antamina copper-zinc mine in Peru April 1^st and five various Chilean copper or zinc mines April 2^nd to 9^th.

Faithfully yours,

John C. Tumazos
