TalkTalk,

Probably just TSX Pre NI 43 101 Compliance requirement pre feasibility study.

By my calculations they are actually higher and don't yet include Iridium, Ruthenium, Nickel or Chromite numbers still to come in.

You certainly don't normally ignore grades of US$300 to US$500 per metric tonne rock.

I am pleased and surprised by Rhodium Values, extremely pleased, because most North American PGM plays don't have sufficient Rh grades to bother asaying for Rhodium IMHO.

All IMHO, NAG, DYOR etc

Cheers

Ash:)

Beartooth retracts gross metal values from Dec. 12 news


2006-12-12 14:24 ET - News Release

Mr. Michael Johnson reports

BEARTOOTH ISSUES RETRACTION OF DISCLOSURE OF GROSS METAL VALUES

Beartooth Platinum Corp., at the request of the TSX Venture Exchange, has retracted the portion of the news in Stockwatch dated Dec. 12, 2006, as it was not appropriate to disclose gross metal values, as these may be misleading to investors in the absence of a feasibility study on the project.


The remainder is available to Stockwatch subscribers.

[talltalk] 12/12/2006 20:07

Is anyone able to explain the full ramifications of the retraction of the
disclosure of gross metal values in the earlier press release ?
Later release 2.16 pm ET

I am a holder of BTP

Mr. Michael Johnson reports

BEARTOOTH INTERSECTS RHODIUM WITH PLATINUM GROUP METALS 'PGM' AT STILLWATER PROPERTY

Beartooth Platinum Corp. has received additional significant results from the company's 2006 summer work program on its Stillwater property in south-central Montana.

High-grade core samples from the Iron Mountain drilling program were submitted to SGS Mineral Services Canada Inc. of Toronto for nickel sulphide collection fire assay analysis (NiS-FA) of the full suite of platinum group metals on a continuing basis over the course of the program. Results for drill holes IM2006-02 and IM2006-03 have now been received, and these confirm the rhodium-enriched nature of the PGM mineralization associated with the B chromitite. In drill hole IM2006-02, the B chromitite contains 0.71 gram per tonne rhodium over an intersection thickness of 3.3 feet (one metre). In hole IM2006-03, the B chromitite contains 0.16 g/t rhodium over an intersection thickness of 9.4 feet (2.4 m). Rhodium is trading at over $5,000 (U.S.) per ounce. The fire assay analysis results also indicate higher than previously reported Platinum concentrations in the samples and revised intersection grades for these two holes are reported below.

Palladium up US$8.00

[mr ashley james] 27/11/2006 18:39

Maxi,

Yes we are awaiting next 4 holes drilling results.

PGMs are a pretty Hot sector and really outside Stillwater Mining Inc NYSE:SWC there aren't really alot of different USA Based PGM Explorers with decent ground for US Investors to play the PGM Story.

Beartooth Platinum Corp TSX:BTP are really pretty unique looking in the right location ie Montana's Stillwater Complex for PGM Reefs.

The Chromite B Reef looks pretty decent chance, but alot more drilling will be needed IMHO.

All IMHO, NAG, DYOR etc

Cheers

Ash:)

[mr ashley james] 24/11/2006 19:25

Jim,

It looks like we still have four more drilling results to come from StillWater Complex "B" Chromite Reef.

It also looks like the reason TSX:BTP took ground next door on might be indicative that best soil anomolies or grades from drilling points to direction with highest intersections say drill their best guess no idea solely best guess, after all why do it?

Directors certainly wont put out serious results unless they want to promote ie the Share Price Obviously, so why don't they want to?

A great day on PGMs today with Platinum up 4.50% and Palladium up 2.80%

I reckon that key hole was say US$73.37 per Cubic Metre or US$330.16 per Mt assuming Specific Gravity of Chromite circa 4.50 Mt per Cubic Metre.

Any views on this please email me the [e-mail]

No idea Baffled, unless!

Please!

All IMHO, NAG, DYOR etc

Have a Good Weekend.

Cheers

Ash:)

[mr ashley james] 22/11/2006 19:52

Johnno,

No I haven't listened to webcast yet, might tomorrow, 20.53 grammes per tonne split Gold Au 0.27g/t Platinum Pt 3.60g/t and Palladium Pd 16.65 g/t comes to following per Metric Tonne Rock Values:-

Gold Au at US$629.40 per toz US$20.24 per gramme ie 0.27 g/t=US$5.46 per Mt
Platinum at US$1145.00 per toz US$36.81 per gramme ie 3.60 g/t=US$152.53 per Mt
Palladium at US$322.00 per toz US$10.35 per gramme ie 16.65 g/t=US$172.37 per Mt.

Total per Metric Tonne US$330.16 per Mt

That works In my opinion Underground, and 1 metre at these grades beats normal 25 cm at 25 g/t PGM averaged down over 1.60 metres in RSA Bushveld.

We need Rhodium Grades.

Obviously many more assays still to come I would think, and press releases on the remaining drilling holes and data.

All IMHO, NAG, DYOR etc

Cheers

Ash:)

[jonno1] 22/11/2006 19:48

just listened to the webcast, really points to news next year, not this, in regard to the share price

[jonno1] 22/11/2006 19:32

market doesn't seem to like it, talk is of another year of waiting over on stockhouse...and that the price is likely lanquish until then, do you concur?

[mr ashley james] 22/11/2006 19:26

Johnno,

They have not mentioned the all important Rhodium Grades, nor for that matter Iridium, Osmium or Ruthenium.

All IMHO, NAG, DYOR etc

Beartooth drills 1 m of 20.53 g/t PPG at Iron Mountain


2006-11-21 11:22 ET - News Release

Mr. Michael Johnson reports

BEARTOOTH PLATINUM ANNOUNCES INITIAL ASSAY RESULTS FROM 2006 DRILL PROGRAM AT STILLWATER; EXPANDS KNOWN MINERALIZATION

Beartooth Platinum Corp. has finished a very successful 2006 summer program on its Stillwater Complex property in south-central Montana.

As part of the 2006 field season, BTP drilled 11 core holes in the Iron Mountain target area. The company now has complete assay data for seven of those holes. This drill hole assay data are clearly showing that the company is intercepting extremely anomalous platinum and palladium (PGMs) mineralization associated with the "B Chromitite" reef (see table below). This is very encouraging and, combined with the 2005 and 2006 soil geochemistry sampling program and the recent agreement with Premium Exploration Inc., BTP controls over 20 kilometres of "B Chromitite" reef.

Drill hole IM2006-02 is the most significant result received so far, and intercepted significant platinum, palladium and gold mineralization (one metre at 20.53 grams per tonne (0.66 ounce per ton)) and shows the potential strength of the system. Of the seven holes received to date, all but two show highly anomalous platinum and palladium mineralization, confirming the potential to develop a significant strike length of economic mineralization.

Between 1978 and 1981 Anaconda Mining Co. drilled 65 surface exploration drill holes into the JM reef. Of these 65 holes, 20 (31 per cent) intercepted greater than or equal to 0.3 ounce per ton PGMs and seven holes (11 per cent) were barren (less than 0.1 ounce per ton PGM). To date, BTP has drilled seven holes, five holes (61 per cent) are mineralized (greater than or equal to 0.1 ounce per ton PGM).

Mike Johnson, president and chief executive officer, said: "We are extremely pleased with our results over these past two field seasons. We expanded the length of the known mineralization of the B Chromitite reef and we are also realizing that the extent of the mineralization is a lot longer and stronger than we originally recognized. Based on exploration histories of the Stillwater mine and the history of exploration and production of the Bushveld complex, BTP is on track to significantly advance the understanding of the Stillwater complex and to potentially develop a world-class deposit."

Because of these very encouraging results from the 2005 and 2006 exploration programs, BTP hopes to accelerate diamond drilling testing of the Chromitite reefs by employing a minimum of five diamond drill rigs during the 2007 field season.

Beartooth Platinum will host a conference call and audio webcast on Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2006, at 10 a.m. (ET) to discuss these results fully with Mr. Johnson and his chief geologist Dr. Jonathan Findlay, PhD.

Results for the remaining four drill holes from BTP's 2006 program and the rest of the soil geochemical data should be available within the next few weeks. In addition, all "B Chromitite" PGE intercepts will be assayed for rhodium mineralization.

Stillwater Mining is currently mining from its JM reef at a rate of 600,000 ounces of PGE per year. Currently, Stillwater has about 40 years of probable reserves.

Mr. Johnson is a qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the scientific and technical work on the exploration program and is responsible for reviewing the technical disclosure in this press release. Fieldwork in the Stillwater complex, Montana, has been performed under Mr. Johnson's supervision.

All analytical work is being completed by SGS Mineral Services of Toronto, Ont., and Actlabs, Ancaster, Ont. Both SGS and Actlabs are respected international analytical services which are accredited with NATA and comply with standards of ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025:1999. They employ a variety of international standards for quality control purposes.

Samples are transported from the field project to the SGS sample preparation facility in Elko, Nev., by FedEx, a reputable commercial carrier. The samples are dried and pulverized at this facility and an assay split is sent to the SGS facility in Toronto, Ont. All analytical testing is performed using a variety of industry standard analytical techniques, including SGS analytical code 37350, FA1313 gold, platinum and palladium by fire assay lead collection, SGS analytical code 37339, ICP90A sodium peroxide fusion/ICP-OES and analytical code 37349, ore grade analysis ICA50 basic metal ore grade analyzes.

All core drill samples were geologically logged and sampled by BTP's geologists in various sample lengths, depending on the geology. The core was then split using as diamond tipped core saw, with one-half sent for assay and the other half retained and securely stored at BTP's facility in Nye, Mont. The company has initiated a quality assurance and quality control program consisting of using standards, duplicate and blank samples, and laboratory cross-checks and routinely repeats sample analysis.

Soil samples were collected from the B soil horizon placed in labelled soil sample bags and shipped to SGS for analysis.
