GOLD, SILVER, PLATINUM, PALLADIUM AND DIAMONDS

Nine (9) bomb blasts in Soweto, West of Johannesburg, South Africa (roadrunner) Oct 31, 11:51

"There have been 9 bomb blasts in Soweto today - the first one went off at about 4 this morning and the others followed. A lot of damage has been done and one woman has been killed and her husband injured. A mosque has been very badly damaged and railway lines blown up, cutting railway transport between Soweto and JHB. It appears that someone is trying to cripple the economy. Then towards lunch time a report came through that another bomb went off in Bronkhorstspruit and the police are investigating whether there is a link between the Soweto and Bronkhortspruit blasts."

Also, "This morning the R/$ exchange rate was R10, 02, suddenly got worse after the bombings, and one of our guys here told me that businesses are scrambling to get deals closed before the Rand gets any worse."

GoldQuest International, a gold numismatics company, has approached the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for permission to mint legal tender coins in gold for collectibles market.

The company already mints legal tender coins of the Kingdom of Bhutan in gold as collectibles. In India presently no private mint is allowed to mint the legal tender coins in gold.

The company sells only gold medallion collectibles In India at present. It is planning to widen its range of products including legal tender coins and watches.

The company will also lower its entry level product range to begin with$ 530 as against the international $800 to make it more affordable.

Richard Zinkiewicz, director finance, GoldQuest International, said that in India, the company also wants to create awareness about the numismatics and gold collectibles market and is looking to lower their entry level price point.

GoldQuest has set up its headquarters in Chennai. The Indian operations contribute under 10 per cent to the total turnover of US $ 160 million.

As part of its vertical growth plans, GoldQuest in India is seeking permission to set up its own private mint.

Zinkiewicz said," We are planning to expand the business and our focus is to cross the US $ 200 million mark. India, as a market, has immense potential and we are going increase our focus here," he said.

Don Murphy, a technical analyst with Merrill Lynch speaking on CNBC says, "My view is that I like gold as an investment. I'm inclined to think that gold is making a secular low, a buy of a generation!" He went on to say, "To be conservative, I'm going to say $450 to $550, but my thought is that gold could go back and challenge the levels we saw in 1980-81 at $850 an ounce!"

Firing of gold analysts....."Midyear it was Kevin Crisp and Dinsa Mehta of Morgan and Chase. Yesterday, it was Goldman Sach's Dan McConvey. These three were very well known in the gold industry and were among the leading apologists for their corrupt bullion banks. McConvey had the perfect background for Goldman as he came there via Barrick Gold." Could it be that exposure is near?

Rumors abound that there is massive accounting fraud at JP Morgan Chase and they are under investigation. It seems the US attorney's office and the New York Attorney General have major investigations in progress. They are in the process of trying to prove criminal intent. The word is their losses, which have been covered up, run to $70 billion. It's expected the hammer will be dropped in the month of December. It's been reported that daily shipments by truck of Federal Reserve Gold out of NYC is covering a $170 billion fraud concealing $70 billion in losses. If this is true, and we believe it fits, then gold would skyrocket.

It's expected that gold imports to India could rise by 15,000 bars a day soon from its present consumption of 11,000 bars weekly. We are now at the peak of the festival season.

Next year gold production is expected to be 2,350 tons and demand at a possible 6,000 tons for an estimated shortfall of 3,650 tons. We'd say the shorts and the central banks have a major problem. Never, ever has the future for higher gold prices been brighter. It does not get any better than this. Load up on gold, coins and shares and you will be amply rewarded.

The gold dinar now circulates since 1992 in Spain, Scotland, South Africa, and Germany. Isn't it odd that none of the conventional gold gurus have covered this? Sometimes we just churn in familiar waters without looking outside our own sphere of familiarity! Lest we forget, this "gold thing" is not purely a western phenomenon. Gold is the only universally recognized money of the world, and our scholarly pursuits should be in that regard.

Americans are fortunate that their Founding Fathers and earlier colonialists gave them a precious metals culture, rooted in sound money. The heritage is still there just waiting to be retrieved by today's patriots.

Word from Goldman Sachs is that Sir Alan is going to drop interest rates 1/2% next week. That makes gold very attractive. It's cheaper to carry a margin position, there is less incentive for central banks to sell gold, or lease gold. The carry trade is non-existent and lower rates mean a lower dollar. The best of all worlds for gold and disaster for the economy and the stock market. Once interest rates are at 1% Sir Alan will have gone a bridge too far. In December when JP Morgan gets hit with either criminal or civil fraud along with Citicorp, gold will go airborne.

Malaysia backs Iran proposal to set up international gold dinar

Kuala Lumpur, Oct 24, IRNA - Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has agreed with Iran proposal to set up a secretariat in Malaysia to use the gold dinar among central banks of world Muslim countries. "Iran is keen, so we might do this with them," he told newsmen after closing the International Seminar on Gold Dinar in Multilateral Trades organized by the Malaysia's Institute of Islamic Understanding (Ikim). Dr Mahathir said he would inform the Cabinet of the proposal and if there was agreement, Bank Negara (Central Bank) would be informed. Earlier during a question-and-answer session, Iranian central banker Bijan Latif had suggested that Malaysia set up a secretariat here to provide information on the concept. Dr Mahathir had responded that it was a good idea to have a secretariat here to facilitate communication with central banks of other Muslim countries to explain the concept and examine the laws to allow the use of the gold dinar.

In the session, Ikim chairman Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid outlined some of the proposals and issues that needed to be examined before implementation. He said there was an existing prohibition by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on the use of gold as a medium of payment and the proposed gold dinar would be a potential violation of the rule. He said there was also a need to study the effects of using a dual currency system tool and whether this would impede the growth of the gold dinar.

Dr Mahathir later told the press conference these were problems that should be looked at and resolved. He said potential countries to use the dinar for trading were Muslim countries with a stable economy.

In his speech, he said countries should not be too ambitious in launching the gold dinar for multilateral trade at one go, suggesting instead they start by pairing off two countries.

He believed anarchy in the international financial regime would remain because it benefited the rich and powerful and to "protect ourselves, we must evolve our own payment system, our own trading currency."

He said the gold dinar could be the currency for trade between nations and if all trade items were valued against gold, then there would be no problem with exchange rate.

Dr Mahathir said while the gold price could also be manipulated, this was not as easily done as the US dollar or other currencies.

"No one can sell gold at below market price because he just will not be able to deliver when called upon to do so. Short selling will be very difficult, if not impossible," he said.

Gold sold under Washington deal at 60% of total

Marking the third anniversary of the Washington Agreement on Gold (WAG), the World Gold Council (WGC) reports that total sales under the agreement so far (from October 1999 to September 2002) amounted to 60% of the 2000 t scheduled for its five-year term. This figure translates into 1 197 t sold, with Switzerland having sold 603 t, the UK 345 t, Netherlands 136 t, Austria 90 t and Germany 23 t. Considering that Germany's gold sales resulted solely from the demand for gold for the minting of commemorative coins, its reported sale of 23 t seems high, yet the WGC says it reflects the strong demand for the special D-mark coins as the national currency was replaced by the euro.

Swiss gold sales under WAG reflect 283 t sold in the third year, 200 t in the second and 120 in the first year. The total of 603 t sold raised just over $6,1-billion. The Swiss National Bank announced plans to sell a further 283 t in the fourth year of the agreement.

This plan would leave the Netherlands, the only other major seller with gold to dispose under WAG, with a possible 117 t to sell in year four.

It is predicted that the remaining 803 t of gold, under the agreement, will be sold by Switzerland and the Netherlands, with 639 t and 164 t respectively, between October 2002 and September 2004.

BEIJING, Oct 28, 2002 (SinoCast via COMTEX) -- During the second trial operation session of Shanghai gold Exchange on October 22, the Shanghai Branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) purchased 3 kilogram of AU 99.95 gold with RMB 250,500. The price was RMB 83.50 per gram. It is said that this is the first time a Chinese commercial bank participating in the gold market. And it starts the gold spot transaction business of commercial banks in China.

JEDDAH, 31 October - The demand for gold in the Kingdom is expected to increase by more than 20 percent during the last quarter of this year, market analysts said. They attributed the increase to a growing trend to invest in gold amid fears of an imminent US attack on Iraq. Osama Al-Wazir, director of World Gold Council for the Gulf countries, said he expected increase in gold sales over the coming months as a result of new developments in the region. Muhammad ibn Saeed of Al-Amoudi Currency Exchange Center said there was big demand for gold coins and biscuits in recent months as many people, especially expatriates, wanted to preserve their money in the form of gold as a safe investment. The WGC reported recently that there was a 16 percent increase in gold sales in the Kingdom and other Gulf states during the first half of this year.

"We have mentioned the Prudent Bear Fund numerous times over the last two years as an excellent way to play the market in these unusual and confusing times. Unusual inasmuch as deep recession/depression have not been as frequent in this past century as they were in previous centuries. Confusing because of the mammoth propaganda machine operated by GE, CNBC, Wall Street and government. You seldom get the truth and that is confusing. We believe this is the perfect time to purchase the Prudent Bear Fund and the Safe Harbor Fund. The market has just experienced a strong 30% bear market rally and precious metals stocks seem poised to go higher. The Prudent Bear Fund shorts the market and goes long precious metal stocks. As the market falls and gold and silver move higher those shares will also move higher. It is a perfect and simple way to invest during these troubling times for those who don't have the experience and fortitude to pick individual stocks. The Prudent Safe Harbor Fund (PSAFX), which invests in high quality debt instruments, denominated in currencies other than the dollar, gives you an exceptional alternative to a falling dollar. You may purchase these funds though Rich Radez at 800-285-1700."

DESERT SUN UPDATE ON PHASE 1 DRILLING PROGRAM AT JACOBINA

DESERT SUN MINING CORP. (TSX.V:DSM) is pleased to provide an update on the status of the Phase 1 drilling program at Jacobina. Further to Desert Sun's last communication, cost savings have enabled the Company to expand its drilling program from 2,000 metres to 2,800 metres and include a third drilling rig. The objective of the Phase 1 program is to further understand the geology and mineralization of the Jacobina property, which extends for 62 kilometres. Eight areas are being targeted for drilling; three around the existing mines and five areas in extensions of the favourable stratigraphy. There has been only limited exploration on the Jacobina property since pre-production in 1982 and most of that exploration has been focused at the existing mines.

The first hole, CAN-14, at the Canavieiras Mine (see map at bottom) was collared 50m south of previous hole CAN-13 drilled in 1997 which intersected 7.07 grams gold per tonne over 24.0m (true width) about 50m below the old mine workings. CAN-14, which was completed to a depth of 393m, intersected a 176m long section (true width of approximately 100m) of favourable conglomerate stratigraphy from 183m to 359m. Previous drill holes were too short to test this complete package. Assays for CAN-14 are pending. Hole CAN-15 on the same section but drilled at a steeper angle is expected to total 275m in length. A third hole is planned to test targets in conglomerate reefs above the old mine workings. The entire stratigraphic package hosting favourable conglomerate beds at Canavieiras is estimated to be over 300m thick.

A second target area at Rio Coxo, located 12 km north-northeast of the mine plant, has seen one hole completed and a second hole is currently under way. Garimpeiros (free miners) are currently working at Rio Coxo in an area about 300m long using short adits and a decline. Assays on the first hole are pending.

The Phase 1 drilling program, which will comprise at least 18 drill holes, is expected to be completed by mid-December.

Desert Sun's focus is centered on the Jacobina mine in the State of Bahia, Brazil. As one of the largest gold resources in that country, Jacobina is well-positioned as both an exploration and future development project. The property currently has a total mineral resource of 3.6 million ounces of which total proven and probable mineral reserves are 964,132 ounces, as estimated by Jacobina Mineração Comércio Ltda. and reviewed in May 1998 by Micon International Limited (using the classification system of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum).

The 3.6 million ounce mineral resource is located on only 15 percent of the 62 kilometre long property in the Serra do Córrego Formation, a geologically world-famous quartz pebble conglomerate bed. There is a 1 million tonne a year capacity mill at the mine.

Desert Sun Mining issued on October 15, 2002, 300,000 options to purchase common shares of the Corporation granted to consultants to the Corporation, at an exercise price of C$0.55 per share expiring on October 15,2004.

The stock option grants are subject to regulatory approval.

Desert Sun Mining Corp. is a Canadian gold exploration and development company listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange. (www.desertsunmining.com).

THE BENEVOLENT RULER
By Hugo Salinas Price

Mencius (or Meng Tze as he is known in China) was a Chinese philosopher who lived in the IV Century B.C. His master was a grandson of Confucius.

Mencius believed in the fundamental goodness of human beings. He gave as an example of that latent goodness, the case of a toddler who wanders close to a deep hole. "There is no one," said Mencius, "who will not be quick to remove that child from danger and put him in a safe place. This is a demonstration of the natural goodness of the human being."Mencius stressed the importance of furthering benevolence among humans. He said: "Let us imagine a mountain covered with a dense forest. In the quiet forest live all sorts of animals. Crystal clear brooks flow down the mountainside. For the villagers at the foot of the mountain, it is a delight to visit the mountain. If they begin felling trees and go on to deforest the mountain, it will become a harsh, dusty and bare rock; the bare mountain is the image of a society from which benevolence is absent."

Mencius stressed the importance of furthering benevolence among humans. He said: "Let us imagine a mountain covered with a dense forest. In the quiet forest live all sorts of animals. Crystal clear brooks flow down the mountainside. For the villagers at the foot of the mountain, it is a delight to visit the mountain. If they begin felling trees and go on to deforest the mountain, it will become a harsh, dusty and bare rock; the bare mountain is the image of a society from which benevolence is absent."

The plan to introduce silver by degrees into circulation in our country, Mexico, is a plan that puts the benevolence of our rulers to the test.

When the governed enjoy a silver currency, they have tranquility and peace guaranteed by the possession of money of enduring value. Each has his own future in his hands, as a result of the permanent value of silver: the center of gravity of each is within himself; neither the individual, nor the country itself, is alienated from its center of gravity.

The silver coin is a reality, not an abstraction like paper (fiduciary) money that is irredeemable in metal, be it silver or gold. Mental illness is the failure of the mind to relate coherently to reality. When the money that a nation uses is nothing more than an abstraction, psychic illness spreads, the population loses its bearings and disorder prevails in all aspects of life. In a word: society becomes alienated.

The ideas that seduce mankind today are not benevolent. Real money of silver or gold is rejected because it implies benevolence on the part of the rulers, and today's ideas are not benevolent, they are malevolent - "evil wishing". The governed are not to be offered "tranquility and peace"; rather they are offered fraud and pillage. The attitude that prevails today amongst rulers and the intellectuals that cater to them is that the governed are to be administered, in order to improve them. We are not accepted such as we are, rather there is a desire to see us made differently, to put us into a mold that they, the rulers, consider better.

All of us are aware of divorces, ever increasing in number. What is the reason for so many divorces? The reason is that couples do not want to accept each other as they are; each wants the other to be different and better than he is. There is a lack of benevolence, tolerance and forgiveness.

The constitutions of nations do not explicitly state this desire to improve the governed. Indeed, so far was this desire from the mind of the great Thomas Jefferson, that he coined those words in the Declaration of Independence, "that among these Rights, are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." However, today, the desire to improve the governed underlies all policy, and it is malevolent.

An example of benevolence: a great king of Thailand, who was deeply loved by his people and whose memory is cherished even today among the Thai people, founded the city of Bangkok. His first decree was as follows: "First, I decree that all Thai people shall be happy, and Second, I decree that in Thailand there shall be no other money except gold coin." What a simple thing is true greatness! (By the way, Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia that was not colonized by Europeans)

Let us contrast this with the experience of the country neighboring Thailand, Cambodia, where the communists came to power possessed by the idea of radically changing everything. Their boss applied a program of "return to point zero", that is to say, the uprooting and destruction of absolutely everything to do with the history, culture, economy and ideas of the Cambodians, in order to build upon a "clean slate" that perfect society, the pure uncontaminated Communist State. We all know of the monstrous killings carried out on Pol Pot's orders, but perhaps we do not realize that he thought that by killing he was working to improve the Cambodians.

In order to place silver into circulation, little by little, we require first of all benevolence on the part of our rulers. They must love Mexico, and not harbor the wish to make of Mexicans what we are not and cannot be, nor desire to reduce us to the level of cattle, simple units subject to public administration, to total fiscal control, to massive indebtedness, to "globalization", to junk currency. Unfortunately, to govern, today means everything but to love Mexicans as they are and want to be. The result: an increasing divorce between rulers and governed.

We quote historian Jacob Burckhardt: "It is good to realize the irresistible might with which evil at times spreads over the world." ("Force and Freedom")

The resurgence in the mining industry in Ghana since 1989 cannot be considered an isolated phenomenon. It is driven by the global paradigm, which emphasizes private sector-led development as the engine of economic recovery in developing countries. This is indeed the thrust of the structural adjustment programmes (SAP) prescribed for such developing countries by the World Bank and allied institutions since the early 1980s. In these economic programmes, African countries with important mining sectors were obliged to shift their policy emphasis towards a primary objective of maximising tax revenue from mining over the long term (which remains largely a mirage), rather than pursuing other economic or political objectives such as control of resources or enhancement of employment. According to the World Bank, this primary objective could only be achieved by a new division of labour whereby governments focus on industry regulation and promotion while private companies take the lead in operating, managing and owning mineral enterprises.1 Many of the 16 countries identified by the Bank to be given priority for exploration and private mining investment were from sub-Saharan Africa, obviously because the region is an important supplier of a variety of minerals to the world. It accounts for about 8 % of world mine production. It holds more than 10 % market share in six minerals -- bauxite, cobalt, manganese, rutile and uranium -- and a 37 % share of world diamond production.

By the close of 1999, nearly all African countries, some of them without known mineral resources, had either modified their minerals codes or introduced them where they did not exist before. Ghana, long regarded as the African trailblazer, was an obvious laboratory for these reforms. After all, a comparative geological ranking of African countries placed Ghana third after South Africa and Zimbabwe2. Ghana was, therefore, among the first sub-Saharan countries to embark on these prescribed reforms and its mining sector received priority attention in the country's Economic Recovery Programme launched in 1983. Between 1984 and 1995, there were significant institutional development and policy changes to reflect the new paradigm, from the establishment of the Minerals Commission in 1984 and the promulgation of the Minerals and Mining Code in 1986 to the promulgation of the Small-Scale Mining Law in 1989 and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1994. The historical importance of mining in the economic development of Ghana is considerable and well documented, with the country's colonial name -- Gold Coast -- reflecting the importance of the mining sector. Gold dominates the mining sector and 1 THE WORLD BANK. 1992, Strategy for African Mining.

Ghana is Africa's second most important producer of gold after South Africa, the third largest producer of manganese and aluminium and a significant producer of bauxite and diamonds3. In addition, inventories of iron, limestone, kaolin, salt and other industrial mineral resources exist but are not exploited on a large scale. From the inception of Ghana's economic policy changes in 1983 to date, the mining sector has witnessed a considerable investment boom and increased production, particularly in the gold sector. There has been considerable growth in the number of new mines and exploration companies. The sector has also attracted a significant number of sector support companies such as catering and transport companies, explosive manufacturers, mineral assay laboratories, etc. The sector has increased its contribution to gross foreign exchange earnings and appears to have attracted substantial foreign direct investment funds over the years.

SJD - Toronto Venture Exchange

High/ Low: C$0.17 - 0.81
Shares Outstanding: 17.8 million
Recent Price: C$0.60 - 0.70
Float: 12 million

St. Jude is primarily focused on the exploration and development of mineable gold deposits. Its two adjoining concessions are well located on the historic Gold Coast in Ghana, West Africa, an area where gold mining dates back as far as the 14th century. The Company's two exceptional high-grade gold projects called Hwini Butre and South Benso straddle over 35 kilometers of one of the richest gold belts in the world. This prolific geological belt called Ashanti is host to several multi million-ounce gold deposits including the 40 million ounce Obousi mine. St Jude's management team believes that these concessions contain one of the highest-grade gold deposits currently being developed in West Africa.

Hwini Butre
St. Jude has spent over $12 million dollars exploring and developing the Hwini Butre concession to date. This intensive and ongoing exploration includes over 30,000 meters of drilling, 16 kilometers of trenching, 1,300 sample pits to 4-5 meters and over 17,000 geochem samples. Recently the Company engaged one of the worlds leading mining engineering firms to perform an initial independent resource calculation on the southern deposits at Hwini Butre. Following the strict provisions of National policy 43-101, Watts, Griffis & McOuat (WGM) blocked out 936,000 oz. of gold (562,000 oz indicated, 374,000 oz inferred). WGM's recommended infill drilling announced March 27th, 2002 was highly successful and included several high grade intersections including 12 meters of 32.08 g/t gold and 14 meters of 49.98 g/t gold. These excellent results will no doubt increase the overall value of the project.

South Benso
St. Jude is concurrently exploring its concession immediately to the North and adjoining Hwini Butre called South Benso. The Company has spent over $2 million to date on the ongoing exploration at South Benso, which includes over 6,000 meters of drilling as well as extensive trenching and pitting. While recently drilling the Subriso West and East gold deposits at South Benso the Company discovered a new deposit called Subriso Central. The discovery hole for Subriso Central averaged 10.02 g/t gold over 15 meters. This hole was drilled as a follow-up to an earlier intersection in the footwall of Subriso West, which returned 10.83 g/t gold over 5 meters. Follow up drilling at Subriso Central has been extremely successful and has included several more high grade intersections including 12 meters of 78.71 g/t gold (2.3 ounces per ton gold over 39 feet). Given the success of the ongoing drill program the Company is confident that a significant and mineable resource is contained within the Subriso deposits. It should be noted that the initial resource estimate published on the company's Hwini-Butre project was based solely on previous drilling from the southern deposits and does not in any way include drill results from the company's South Benso-Subriso deposits. The company is hoping to be in a position to provide an initial resource estimate from the South Benso-Subriso area once the next phase of drilling has been completed.

Tremendous Blue Sky
The Southern deposits and the Subriso deposits are not closed off at depth so there remains significant potential for the deposits to extend much deeper. Between the Southern deposits at Hwini Butre and the Subriso deposits at South Benso there are also several well-defined exploration targets that will be tested in the near future. For example at the Breminsu target, trenching returned 17 meters of 2.9 g/t as well as chip samples of 688 g/t and 277 g/t. This considerably increases the Company's potential to upgrade the overall gold resource at both projects.

Strategic Mining Advantages
The Hwini Butre and South Benso concessions are amenable to low cost open pit mining techniques due to the fact the deposits start at surface and are high grade. Excellent infrastructure advantages such as railroad, power and roads crossing directly through the concessions will further reduce costs. Most importantly the project is only a 20-minute drive from Takoradi, Ghana's 3rd largest city and a major seaport for the region. This will save the Company from having to build a very expensive mining camp and extensive employee housing as well all large equipment can be easily shipped to the site. Furthermore recruiting experienced expat personal such as mining engineers will be much easier as they will not have to live in a remote isolated camp. This combined with the high-grade deposits gives St. Jude significant potential to be a low cost producer even at much lower gold prices.

Management
St. Jude's founder, President and largest shareholder, Mr. Michael Terrell is a second-generation miner with over 22 years experience in mineral exploration. Mr. Terrell has built an exceptional team with a proven track record. George Flach St Jude's VP of Exploration has over 18 years experience as a geologist, 16 of those years in Ghana. He leads one of the most successful and experienced mineral exploration teams in Ghana, having discovered numerous gold deposits, which have been mined by Golden Star Resources Ltd., Ashanti Goldfields Company Ltd., Goldfields of South Africa, and Resolute Mining Limited of Australia. Todd McMurray St Jude's VP of Corporate Development has over 14 years experience working with public companies, including 10 years in junior mining. He has helped raise in excess of $60 million for private and public companies.

Investor Relations
With an independent resource estimate now in hand as well as improved market conditions, the company has recently committed to an investor relations program. They have just launched a new information website www.stjudegold.com that includes their Company presentation and project details including the independent resource report and a 3D model of one of the deposits. Additionally they are planning extensive road shows in Europe, Canada and the USA. They have just attended the New York Institutional Gold Conference, as well they will be in Calgary October 5 and 6th for the Calgary Investment Conference.

St. Jude Resources Ltd. (SJD: TSX.V)
Vancouver, October 28, 2002,

St. Jude Resources Ltd. (SJD: TSX.V) is pleased to announce that the company's fall drill program is commencing this week. The purpose of this drill program is to trace the strike and down dip extension of the zones of higher grade mineralization at the Subriso and Hwini-Butre deposits on the company's two Ghanaian projects. Particular attention will be given to the more recently discovered Subriso Central zone, which has returned exceptionally high grades over excellent widths, including 12 meters of 78.71 g/t au, as previously announced.

St. Jude has completed over 16,000 meters of trenching and over 35,000 meters of drilling on these two adjacent concessions. At the southern targets on the Hwini-Butre concession, an independent consulting firm has calculated a preliminary resource of 936,000 ounces of gold (indicated 562,000 - inferred 374,000). Approximately 25 km to the north at the Subriso deposits, the company has completed over 100 drill holes, which have consistently intersected significant gold grades across excellent mining widths. It is anticipated that this drill program will assist the company in establishing the magnitude of the gold resource at the northern concession. Furthermore, as the drill program progresses, the company plans to continue exploration at several advanced targets along the 35 km gold trend within its two concessions. These include the Amantin, Abada, Breminsu and Seikrom prospects.

St. Jude's highly experienced exploration team is one of the most successful mineral exploration teams in Ghana, having discovered numerous gold deposits, which have been mined by Golden Star, Ashanti Goldfields, Gold Fields of South Africa, and Resolute Mining of Australia.

The company is committed to the development of our two advanced gold projects and to the acquisition and exploration of other high quality gold projects in West Africa. For more information on St. Jude and its projects, interested parties are invited to visit the company's website at www.stjudegold.com.

SAINT PRAYERS ANSWERED -
From: the Prospector, Nov/Dec 2002 St. Jude Resources (SJC:TSX-V) recently released what is says are additional encouraging gold results from Subriso East, West and Central deposits on the South Benso concession it joint ventures with Fairstar Explorations (FFR:TSX) in Ghana. Highs reportedly included 15.0 m of 5.04 g/t and 15.0 m of 4.32 g/t at Subriso East, 20.0 m of 4.28 g/t and 8.0 m of 9.69 g/t at Subriso West, and 16.9 m of 2.51 g/t at the Central deposit. This company's work in West Africa has garnered sufficient market attention to take its shares on a northward trend for most of this year St. Jude started the year at around $0.20, just off its 53-week low of $0.17, but hit a peak of $0.80 in October. Shares are likely to increase in a strengthened gold market as the company prepares for additional drilling and an updated estimate for its nearby Hwini-Butre resource.

Crystallex is a Canadian-based gold producer with operations and exploration properties in Uruguay and Venezuela. Since 1996, when a new management team and Board of Directors were put together, Crystallex has been focused on strategic growth in South America. Recent expansion plans and anticipated increases in production will place Crystallex firmly in the ranks of intermediate producers. Crystallex shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange under the symbol KRY, and are part of the S&P/TSX Composite Index. The S&P/TSX Composite is the most widely followed benchmark index in Canada. Inclusion is based on trading activity, liquidity and market capitalization. Metals and minerals make up about 10 per cent of the index.

In September 2002, Crystallex signed definitive agreements for and took possession of the Las Cristinas properties in Venezuela, one of the largest gold deposits in Latin America and the world. Crystallex is currently reviewing all drill data and previous studies, and has begun to finalize development plans for the properties. The Company paid the Venezuelan Corporacion Venezolana de Guyana (CVG), $15 million as specified in the Agreement for use of the data. Once the size of the Cristinas deposit is independently assessed and development has begun complementing its existing projects, it is anticipated that Crystallex could become one of the larger intermediate mining companies.

Under the terms of the agreements the Company signed with the CVG, Crystallex will control 100% of the reserves and resources and all production and proceeds are for the account of Crystallex. The Ministry of Energy and Mines will receive a fixed 3% royalty and the CVG will receive a royalty pegged to the price of gold. Up to a price of US$280, the CVG royalty will be 1%. From US$280 to US$350, the royalty will be 1.5%. From US$350 to US$400, the royalty will be 2% and above US$400, the royalty will be 3%.

The agreement has an initial term of 20 years with two renewals each for a 10-year period. Crystallex has the exclusive use of National assets related to the project including digitized drill data, drill cores and the existing studies in the possession of the CVG. The Company also has access to the new hydroelectric substation located near the site. It's important to note, the Mining Agreement issued by CVG to Crystallex is not subject to any discretionary termination clauses. The termination procedures set forth in the contract are very strict and specific based only upon legal or contractual default, similar in nature and process to those provided for in oil industry contracts, mining concession titles and, in general, in all basic industry contracts in Venezuela.

In 1996, Crystallex was basically an exploration company with one small operating mine, Albino 1, containing high-grade reserves in Venezuela's Kilometre 88 gold district. That year, their revenue was a little more than C$2 million from production of approximately 4,600 ounces of gold. In 1998, combining internally generated cash with some well-structured project financing; the Company acquired Minera San Gregorio in Uruguay. This was a $69 million asset that was purchased for a total of $29 million. In addition to increasing their reserves by nearly eight million tonnes grading 1.8 grams per tonne, their revenue expanded to C$8.6 million and annualized gold production was approximately 70,000 ounces by the end of that year. Since then, Crystallex has made several more important acquisitions, which have enabled Crystallex to grow by nearly every meaningful measure.

Many of you may be familiar with the names of the previous owners Crystallex acquired, the Tomi mine and Revemin mill from Bolivar Goldfields in 2000, and they also acquired control of the Lo Increible project from Bema Gold and El Callao Mining Corp. in 2001.

All that activity has brought Crystallex to where it is today. At the end of 2001, their five-year compound annual growth rate for revenue was more than 87 percent; for gold production, 89 percent, and; for shareholders' equity, nearly 30 percent.

Although each of those properties were acquired at a cost well below their asset value, each possessed potential that may not have been readily apparent to most observers when the acquisitions were made, perhaps not even to the previous owners. Crystallex is beginning to realize this potential in increased gold reserves and economies of scale.

San Gregorio mine in Uruguay:
 - Pre-acquisition cash operating cost at US$281 per ounce too high in relation to the price of gold at the time to generate any appreciable cash flow.
 - Today, improved efficiency of the mine and mill has increased the recovery rate to above 93 percent, and reduced the cash cost of production to the low US$200's. Since the acquisition San Gregorio has been a strong net cash generator.
 - Current annual gold production at San Gregorio is 60 to 70 thousand ounces and its probable reserves at the beginning of 2002 were 4.99 million tonnes grading 1.50 grams per tonne or 240,000 contained ounces.

A greater potential exists in Crystallex's Venezuelan acquisitions:
 -· Data from a recent drilling program has increased La Victoria's probable reserve calculation from 2.8 million tonnes to 4.3 million tonnes grading three grams per tonne with a cutoff grade of 1.5 grams per tonne and a gold price of US$300.
 - Resources at La Victoria increased from approximately five million tonnes to nearly five and a half million tonnes with a grade of 3.14 grams per tonne.
 - April 2001, Crystallex began phase one of mining at La Victoria and by the end of the year had produced 24,561 ounces of gold.
 - During the first quarter of this year, production at La Victoria was curtailed due to a delay in obtaining a blasting permit
 - A flat pit floor has been established in the Victoria pit and normal mining operations have resumed.

Tomi mine:

· MDA and Associates, of Reno, Nevada estimated using a US$265 per ounce gold price, underground reserves at 163,000 tonnes averaging 14.5 grams per tonne at a 5 gram per tonne cutoff.
· total capital expenditures for the development of the Tomi underground mine project were estimated to be US$6 million and the average cash cost of underground production should be approximately US$144 per ounce using the drift and fill mining method.
· Crystallex began the development of the new underground mine in mid 2002 and is already processing through its Revemin mill the first developmental ore grading between 5 and 7 grams per tonne.

Albino mine:

· MDA's feasibility study for underground mining at Albino concluded that the Conductora portion of the Albino deposit contains 82,000 tonnes of proven underground reserves grading 14.8 grams per tonne and 96,830 tonnes of probable reserves grading 14.7 grams per tonne. These reserves were calculated using a gold price of US$270 per ounce and a cutoff grade of 8.0 grams per tonne. These mineable reserves are included in a global measured and indicated resource of 3.3 million tonnes grading better than 4 grams per tonne.
· Crystallex anticipates launching the development activities for this new underground mine in 2003

When you combine the operations of Albino and the Tomi underground mines, the real value of these concessions becomes apparent. Combined, the two operations are expected to yield an internal rate of return of 84% at US$300 gold.

The "Hub & Spoke" Strategy:
Imagine the Revemin mill as the hub of a wheel that circumscribes the three gold regions and Crystallex's Venezuelan concessions as the spokes. They have their Tomi Mine and Lo Increible in the El Callao district, Santa Elena in the El Dorado region and Albino, Carabobo and now Las Cristinas in Kilometre 88. All of these regions are within trucking distance of the Revemin mill. Except for Las Cristinas, which will be a mega stand-alone project, they do not need to build separate facilities to process material from these concessions. They can economically truck it to Revemin for processing with much greater efficiency, resulting in a lower cost per ounce of gold recovered.

The Revemin mill is an important element in Crystallex's strategy to increase their cash flows by efficiently employing their resources in Venezuela. The mill is currently processing material from the Tomi mine and La Victoria, as well as material from other concessions in the area. It is now receiving higher-grade material from the new Tomi underground operation and later from the Albino underground mine once operational. Traversing these Venezuelan gold regions are roads that can easily accommodate the size of vehicle required for such an operation. In addition, the general infrastructure is good, also providing hospitals, schools, churches and other amenities that are more than adequate to support Crystallex's operations.

In summary, the Government of Venezuela has conclusively resolved the Cristinas operating issues in favour of Crystallex. The Company's share price still reflects the original uncertainty. Crystallex now offers investors an excellent opportunity to own a stake in a mining business with a respectable track record and tremendous growth opportunities.

TSX: CQC - OTCBB: CUSIF

Prominent US Fund Closes $525,000 Private Placement Production Planning Underway

Guilford H. Brett, CEO, (TSX: CQC, OTCBB: CUSIF), reports that the Company has completed the previously announced private placement of 1.5 million units at $0.35 per share with The Prudent Bear Fund of Dallas Texas, generating proceeds of $525,000. The US$340 million Prudent Bear Funds are managed by David Tice, one of America's most prominent bear market strategists, who was recently quoted in Fortune Magazine, Business Week, and other mass media. The proceeds of the placement will be added to working capital, used to continue drilling of Cusac's 100% owned and operated Table Mountain Gold Mine near Cassiar, BC, and to fund production planning regarding the newly defined East Bain Vein ore structure.

"I am thrilled that an astute investor like David Tice has placed confidence in Cusac's ability to deliver value to it's shareholders," said Cusac CEO Guilford Brett. "Strong investor confidence like this will help Cusac reopen its historically prolific gold producer located right here in British Columbia."

Cusac management is now commencing production and financing plans aimed at reopening the Table Mountain Mine based on high-grade reserves outlined on the Bain Vein structure. Based on previously announced tonnage and grade calculations, Cusac management believes the newly defined ore structure can be effectively mined from the existing Bain Vein decline in a very cost effective manner and at a good profit. The mine infrastructure has been under care and maintenance for several years and has been well maintained. Detailed feasibility investigation and further funding is required prior to making a final production decision.

Candente Resource Corp.
Re: News Release - Wednesday, October 30, 2002 Candente Expands Gold Target in Northern Peru

Candente Resource Corp. ("Candente") (DNT: TSX Venture:) is very pleased to announce the Company was the successful bidder in an auction for a high sulphidation gold target in Northern Peru. Candente and Barrick Gold were the only participants in the auction having applied for overlapping areas on the same day September 2nd, 2002.

The target is located halfway between the Yanacocha and Pierina Mines, 36 km south-southeast of the Alto Chicama property, where Barrick Gold recently announced a new discovery in excess of 7 million ounces of gold. Gold grades of up to 1 to 3 grams per tonne occur in vuggy silica breccia and alunite fragments over an area one kilometre long and 150 metres wide in the new target area, the Toril Zone. The Toril breccia material is very similar to the host rocks of the Pierina and Yanacocha Mines in Peru. The presence of the breccia indicates the potential for a buried body of gold mineralization.

In addition to the gold bearing vuggy silica breccia, anomalous gold, mercury and other elements typical of high sulphidation environments occur in soils over an area 1.4 km (0.84 miles) by 1.65 km (1 mile). The hosts rocks are the same Tertiary Calipuy volcaniclastic rocks that host the major low cost ($40 to $120 per ounce) gold mines in Peru.

The Toril Zone is subject to Candente's Option to Purchase Agreement with Hecla Mining on the Alto Dorado Property. The Toril Zone was originally held and explored as part the Alto Dorado Property by Hecla and is within an area of mutual interest. Candente has the right t earn 100% interest subject to a 2.5% NSR with a buyout of 1.5% of Hecla's NSR for US$1.5 million. Candente's obligations are: to pay annual vigencia fees of US$10,000, fund and carry out applications for all exploration permits and to share any future third party option/joint venture payments received by Candente as to 25% to Hecla in the first year, 20% in the second, 15% in the third and 10% in the fourth. All payments will be applied t the NSR buyout. Hecla's exploration on the property included extensive mapping, geochemical sampling, trenching, road building and limited diamond drilling. Expenditures by Hecla were in excess of US$500,000. All of the data has been delivered to Candente.

The Toril Zone was part of the area under auction on October 22nd as described in News Release No. 59 dated October 10th, 2002. Candente won the auction on October 22nd and paid the Peruvian government US$50,227 for 100% interest in the Toril Zone.

Candente is a junior exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of world-class gold and copper projects in Peru and Eastern Canada. Management has a track record of gold discoveries, extensive experience in Peru and internationally. Candente's common shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol DNT.

SILVERADO GOLD MINES LTD. - OTCBB symbol SLGLF - Berlin Exchange - SLGL WKN 867737….

It's Show 'n' Tell time! This week Silverado set off its first blast at the Nolan Gold Mine, one of Arctic Alaska's most famous properties. Silverado is proud to announce their plan to take shareholders and interested parties along the journey this year as they head underground, blasting into the permafrost, to mine the rich gold bearing gravels of the Nolan Deep Valley.

Visitors to the site (the website that is) will feel as though they have visited the actual site of the Gold Mine. This is not a pretend gold panning day at a historical theme park. Visitors will experience the live mine, frozen river gravel, bedrock, and much more by the end of the season all without having to endure the freezing temperatures, truckloads of muck and other surprises of the Great White North. As the season begins and events unfold, the viewer will be able to pan 3600 while zooming in and out on the drilling, blasting, loaders, trucks and personnel both mining and moving gold ore to the surface. As the season changes to spring and the inevitable summer snow melts in June 2003 the visitor will follow the progress of the mining process all the way through to the exciting extraction of the gold.

And what would Alaska be without a little sightseeing? Just a click of the 'mouse' on the surface map will display panorama vistas from any part of the property including the indescribable awe of Alaska, the phenomena of the Northern Lights, not to mention some of the most beautiful gold in the world.

As gold prices enter into what portends to be the biggest boom in gold prices in history, watch for future press releases to announce the start-up of our viewer's Show'n'Tell program! Silverado Gold Mines Ltd. is a 100% shareholder owned, highly developed operating Gold Mining Company located in Fairbanks, Alaska with Head Offices in Vancouver, Canada.
