Fipke's Discovery - The Ekati Diamond Mine
Mr Fipke is best known as the first geologist to discover diamonds in
Canada when he discovered what is now the Ekati Diamond Mine. Ekati has
produced over 45 million carats in diamonds so far, and helped establish
Canada as a world leader in diamonds. Mr Fipke has been profiled on TV
by Scientific American for his pioneering and proven successful
prospecting techniques. He has been actively exploring Yemen since 1996
and is aggressively pursuing his prospect of developing a large scale
gold mine with Cheetah Ventures.

Jade Mining In British
Columbia, Canada
Jade West is the world's largest producer and exporter of nephrite Jade,
operating three mines located in Northern British Columbia, 100 miles
east of the Alaskan Border. During a short summer mining season, when
the area is free from snow, Jade West annually mines 100 tons of jade
for export to China. Jade West is also the exclusive supplier of the
newly discovered POLAR JADE, described by FRED WARD in the Lapidary
Journal, November 1998, as, "the newest, brightest, most translucent,
greenest, hardest nephrite yet discovered."
