POT OF GOLD AWAITS WINNER
OF CONTEST AT CALGARY CONFERENCE;
GATA CHAIRMAN IS SPEAKER

A million Canadian dollars is the value of
the pot of gold Maple Leaf coins that could
be taken home by someone attending the 2002
Calgary Investment Conference, to be held
Saturday and Sunday, October 5 and 6, in
Calgary, Alberta.

Conference producer Joe Martin of Cambridge
House International Inc. has put together a
unique golf putting challenge with the top
prize being the gold Maple Leaf coins. The
contest is open to all Calgary conference
attendees, speakers, and exhibitors.

The contest will actually begin on Friday,
when GATA Chairman Bill Murphy, who is also
Le Patron of www.LeMetropoleCaf.com and one
of the conference's speakers, will try his
putting stroke at GATA's quot;Welcome to Calgaryquot;
reception, which will be held from 2 to 7
p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4, at the Calgary
Marriott Hotel.

Several newsletter editors, including Doug
Casey, Bob Bishop, Bob Chapman, David Coffin,
Lawrence Roulston, John Kaiser, David Morgan,
David Skarica, and Jay Taylor, are planning
to take their shot at winning the big pot of
gold coins.

Here's how the contest works.

Participants pay CDN$10 and receive five
balls, which they putt from 35 feet. Sink one
and you win a 1 ounce silver Maple Leaf coin.
Sink two and you walk away with CDN$125 in
gold coins. Sink three and take home CDN$500
in gold cons. Sink four and walk out with
CDN$30,000 in gold coins. Sink all five and
you can jump for joy with about 113 pure gold
1-ounce Canadian Maple Leaf coins worth
CDN$60,000.

For every ball sunk, contestants will win one
chance in the CDN$1 million contest. For this
challenge, which takes place at the close of
the conference, all entrants will use their
chances to putt to a 30-foot line. The putter
who gets closest to the line then will have
one shot to sink a 75-foot putt and go home
with CDN$1 million in 1-ounce gold Maple Leaf
coins.

The event's charity proceeds will be donated
to GATA and UNICEF.

per night, or about US$68 or a fifth of an
ounce of gold.
