REQUEST:

Hi Marla,

Thanks for getting the drill hole collar location map and FDN map updated with the hole numbers.

Can you tell me what the status of the the permitting for the underground work is?  Have you guys applied for the permit for the decline yet?  When do you anticipate work on the decline to start?  Has it been tendered?   I'm feeling a little information deprived the past couple of weeks so ANY information would be appreciated.

Thanks.

... Rob

RESPONSE:

Rob, we are working on the permitting and expect it to be approved in the spring of next year so that we can start going underground. In the meantime there is a lot that we can do to prepare, including hiring engineering firms, preparing the area, etc. We are in the process of interviewing engineering companies so that is well underway as well.

Meanwhile, we are drilling infill holes on the northern portion of FDN since that can be done from the surface (it is much closer to surface). We’re also drilling geotechnical holes to test ground conditions to plan best location for tunnels, etc.
