WITM is a set stock for massive gains over this week and continuing into the next several months with the release of recent of spectacular news concerning the company's mining projects.
Recent news (from 4/17/2006) on the company has reported that WITM's testing of a gold/silver mining site in Colorado has an abundance of both precious metals (Wits Basin Updates Gold Assay Results). This has supported earlier reports from April that the mine is rich in gold and silver. This is GOOD news; WITM's Colorado mining project will likely move forward and with precious metals at record high prices the project will be extremely profitable as well.
Even more exciting, during an investor conference call (Wits Basin Precious Minerals Inc. Announces Investor Conference Call, Hosted by Vance White, CEO) from less than three hours ago today WITM announced that they had secured a gold extraction project deal in Mexico. The project is certain to be highly profitable and WITM is set to profit as well with the recent deal met. This information is HOT and has not been released to the general investor public yet. WITM plans to make a public announcement of the deal in early trading hours tomorrow (4/19/2006). When this news breaks, the stock price will certainly rise. This is an opportunity NOT to be missed.
The investor conference call also revealed details showing that the company's South African project is also fairing extremely well.
There is a LOT of talk going on about this stock, look at the recent activity ALL within the last few days:
WITM is highlighted in 'OTCStockExchange.com Stock Alert', listed in 'StockGrid.com' and has a whole lot more momentum coming. This is not a gimmicky or flash in the pan stock; this is a stock that is headed to realize tremendous profit and value for investors.

THE INSIDER NEWS HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED HOURS AGO, THIS IS A STRONG BUY:
Wits Basin Announces Letter of Intent to Acquire Silver Interest Wednesday April 19, 7:19 am ET Former Mexico Silver Producer to be Revitalized
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 2006--Wits Basin Precious Minerals Inc. (OTCBB:WITM - News) today announced it has signed a letter of intent with Journey Resources Corp. (TSX-V:JNY - News) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Minerales Jazz S.A. de C.V., whereby Wits Basin may acquire an undivided 50% interest in certain mining claims comprising the Vianey Mine Concession located in the state of Guerrero, Mexico approximately 250 kilometers south of Mexico City and 160 kilometers north of Acapulco. LOCATION
The property comprises approximately 5,022 hectares (12,400 acres) less than 2 kilometers from the town of Atzcala which hosts modern infrastructure and facilities as well as a sufficient labor pool. There is existing electrical power at the mine as a major power line passes near the property.
On-site examinations by Journey personnel and available exploration data indicate a probability of discovering extensions to known silver-bearing veins on the property, both in the existing mine and the adjacent areas identified in the technical report, the Blakestad Report (dated of October 18, 2004 and revised March 10, 2005) by Rodney A. Blakestad J.D., C.P.G.
Geological maps published by the Mexican Department of Mines identify a series of lead-zinc-gold occurrences approximately five kilometers northwest of the property. The new concessions have been staked to cover the projected extension of these known ore bodies and comprise part of the property package. The Blakestad Report confirms the potential that these known mineralized zones likely extend into the vicinity of the Vianey Mine.
EXPLORATION RESULTS TO DATE
A review of past calculations of potentially mineable tonnages of mineralization above the -75 meter level, including the most recent exploration activities completed in 1997, and as reported by Mr. Peter Hawley in his 2000 reserve and drill resource study, provides an estimated total in all categories of 345,020 metric tonnes grading 2.13% lead, 3.66% zinc and 269 grams of silver per ton, which at current metal prices would have an in-ground value in the order of US$250/ton.
Mineralization at the Vianey Mine includes veins, breccias, lens and mantos of silver as well as poly-metallic (Pb-Zn) mineralization with local concentrations of gold and copper. Most of the veins are localized along NW-SE trending structures and E-W structures; the lenses occur in fault zones and as sulfide concentrations with calcite, gypsum and quartz between some bedding planes. Two major breccia zones of significance have been identified in the limestone, which are associated with calcite-gypsum-quartz gangue minerals and important amounts of associated silver.
Recommendations in the Minerales Jazz March 2005 report, which are being followed up, include lithological and structural mapping and aerial photography, or high-resolution satellite imagery interpretation of the area. The object of the work will be to locate and orient approximately 3,230 meters of diamond core drilling to test the grade, thickness and continuity of mineralization at depth and along the strike.
Management believes that the Vianey Mine and immediately contiguous property could host millions of tons of ore grade material. "With silver trading at a new 25-year high and base metals also into new high ground, we feel the outlook is for continued strong demand and prices," said Vance White, Wits Basin's CEO. White continues, "Despite current prices of about $13/oz, silver remains at a much lower multiple to gold than has otherwise been true historically and we believe it is appropriate for the Company to expose itself to a project of merit and strong technical attributes in this arena."
