Dave,

Mike told me they are drilling solely to confirm the rock type: if it's the right stuff, targeted drilling will follow-on. So I reckoned on a scientific basis (i.e. figures plucked straight out of thin air!) that the odds on striking it rich first time are about 100 to 1 against!

[pecker1] 07/1/2008 13:20

Surely they should know by now whether or not they have drilled through Bushvelt type rocks in SA? Perhaps they have all taken an extended break and to-day will be their first back at work.

What are the odds that they have not only found Bushvelt type rocks but have found what look like PGM type reefs in the drill cores? Probably about 100 to 1!

Pity that the warrants expiring on 3 January were out of the money as they could have done with the cash.

[yikyak] 07/1/2008 12:57

frizzers you are correct but not in theory if they say to the assay office deliver the results to the company once 'all' the data has been collected. In that way they can deliver the whole 'meaningful' package to the market and get the desired response, if they indeed have something.

I just hope that's what they are up to because I doubled my holding at 9c!



Difficult to say though as Johnson is said to be a happy bunny at the moment although if the above is correct he wouldn't know what the results of the drilling programme would be, would he? Do companies do their own 'unofficial' tests?

[red ninja] 06/1/2008 17:07

It is probably due to the fact that the assay offices are overloaded...

[frizzers] 05/1/2008 09:37

I can't understand why they are holding news back, if it is good. Is that not illegal to hold back market sensitive news?

[pecker1] 19/12/2007 17:57

yikyak,

Yes - Mike was in good form and sounding generally upbeat while giving nothing away. The drill results from SA are due any day now so we should find out if they are sitting on bushveldt rocks or not.

Beartooth Platinum Corporation Announces Results From the Inversion Modeling of
Ground Magnetic Data, Doornfontein Project, Bushveld Complex, South Africa


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 6, 2007) - Beartooth Platinum Corporation
(TSX VENTURE:BTP) is pleased to announce that a drill rig is on location and is
planned to commence drilling today, December 7, 2007 on BTP's Doornfontein
property, located above potential Bushveld rocks, South Africa.

The Doornfontein property overlies a regional-scale magnetic anomaly situated
between the Eastern and Northern limbs of the Bushveld Intrusive Complex
(please visit www.beartoothplatium.com for property details). The anomaly is 25
kilometers in length, and reaches 4 kilometers in width. The source of the
anomaly is believed to be Bushveld Complex mafic rocks beneath younger cover of
the Karoo Supergroup. The mafic rocks of the Bushveld Complex host the world's
most prolific deposits of Platinum Group Metals (PGM), the Merensky and UG2
reefs. Beartooth can earn a 70% interest in the Doornfontein property through
funding of exploration through to the feasibility stage.

The ground magnetic survey completed on part of the Doornfontein property in
August, 2007 and was designed to provide a three dimensional model and
additional details regarding the structure and attitude of the causative body.
The ground magnetic data have been used to refine the inversion model based on
the airborne magnetic survey completed by the Council for Geoscience of South
Africa in 2004. The current model shows that a strongly magnetic tabular body
lies beneath the cover rocks of the Karoo Supergroup on the Doornfontein
Property. The body shows a layered structure, with at least two strongly
magnetic, parallel, layers within a package of rocks having an average magnetic
susceptibility equivalent to ferrogabbros. The body has an average dip of 40
degrees to the south in the ground magnetic survey area. The top of the body
lies at depths of between 150 and 350 meters, and is interpreted to be between
850 and 1000 meters thick. The results of the modeling are consistent with the
interpretation that the source of the anomaly is the magnetite-rich
ferrogabbroic rocks of the Upper Zone of the Bushveld Complex.

Mike Johnson, President & CEO of Beartooth Platinum Corporation, stated "The
three dimensional magnetic model is extremely encouraging. It shows that the
magnetic anomaly has characteristics we would expect if the source were layered
Upper Zone rocks of the Bushveld Complex. It also indicates that the anomaly
comes much closer to surface than previously predicted. The initial hole should
be completed by December 20th. We will then see if our interpretations are
correct. If the anomaly is indeed caused by Bushveld rocks, then we have
succeeded in opening up 25 kilometers of new Bushveld strike length to explore
for the all-important Merensky and UG2 reefs. This would be a very exciting
result for the Company."

Assays from these summers' drilling activity at the Stillwater Project,
Montana, U.S.A., are being received. It is hoped that a complete assay package
will be available in early January, 2008 and will be published at that time.

About Beartooth Platinum Corporation

Beartooth Platinum Corporation is focused on the exploration for Platinum Group
Metals (PGM) globally. The Company is currently active in two of the world's
most significant PGM camps: the Stillwater and Bushveld intrusive complexes. In
Montana, USA, Beartooth controls 872 unpatented lode mineral claims over the
exposed 50-km strike length of the Stillwater Intrusive Complex. The Stillwater
Complex hosts the JM-Reef, the world's highest-grade primary PGM deposit.
Stillwater Mining Company (SMC) currently operates two mines on the J-M Reef.
Beartooth's mineral claims are contiguous with these significant resource
properties.

In Limpopo Province of South Africa, Beartooth has an option to earn a
70%-interest in the approximately 7,500 hectare Doornfontein property. The
Doornfontein property overlies a regional scale magnetic anomaly situated
between the North and East Limbs of the Bushveld Intrusive Complex. The anomaly
is thought to reflect the westward extension of the East Limb of the complex
beneath younger cover rocks. The East Limb of the intrusion hosts the Merensky
and UG2 platiniferous reefs, two of the most significant repositories of
Platinum Group Metals in the world.

yikyak,

Thanks for that. Interesting that Mike says he has had some of the assays back but is not going to release them until he has all of them, and that Rhodium has to be assayed separately after the original assaying.

Cutting it fine if he wants to give the share price a boost to encourage warrant holders to convert at 11 cents before the 3 January deadline. Can't help feeling that if the first ones had been any good he would have announced them in time for the Richmond Club.

Audited prelims this morning seem to confirm the numbers in the 30 October trading statement-no new news that I can see.

[richoneday] 27/11/2007 10:51

In the words of Stereophonics ....

I'm just looking, I'm not buying.......

Bsd news ahead methinks

[richoneday] 26/11/2007 10:52

HAS to be this week

[free willy 2] 24/11/2007 10:32

Must be next week!

[richoneday] 24/11/2007 10:09

not expecting much in the way of good news.

[2lb] 23/11/2007 08:21

Looks like the results will be today - amrket clearly already knows (as usual!)

11% down......

[2lb] 21/11/2007 10:28

"BNS Telecom Group PLC said the publication of
its full-year results, earlier scheduled to be released tomorrow, has now been
delayed to mid-November following the closure of its Network Services division."

I guess you could stretch "Mid-November" to the end of this week - just......

[richoneday] 20/11/2007 20:12

whwre are the results?

[yikyak] 09/11/2007 15:33

Matty, it's certainly a shot in the dark but you never know, they could just be onto something, Kalplats being a good example of a virgin area find. That said the management knew that they had to come up with news flow during the quiet time to sustain any successful upside momentum off the back of Stillwater, else investors just sell and come back next year and the stock gains no traction. I guess it depends how hard they go at the project as an indicator as to whether they think it has true potential or just fill the news void.

[mattybuoy] 01/11/2007 14:47

I should add that I do think it's worth having a look, since the potential rewards on success are so great. Also to maintain newsflow over the winter.

[mattybuoy] 01/11/2007 14:33

You think their SA prospect is any good? It looks like a bit of a long-shot to me. Not that I understand these things very well, but they had a previous property which might also have had the "Bushveld under a covering" which drew a blank.

[yikyak] 01/11/2007 14:24

Well I doubled my holding at 9.5c so here's hoping for a decent drill report and a sustained rise into ZA newsflow.

[mattybuoy] 29/10/2007 18:12

Long-term PGM issues are not really relevant at this point. It's more a matter of do we have a "laterally extensive" reef in the 'B' chromitite or not? If the answer is yes, then it should be chocks away.

It's the holes that were done on the Premium ground that are most important, but I am looking for a reaction on any high-grade intersections.

[richoneday] 29/10/2007 16:47

Fall today - bad news tomorrow perhaps?

Chasing too many rainbows in my view.
