I talked with Elmer for over 1.5 hours on Monday after he returned from Dease Lake. I specifically asked about the fog and shutting down the drilling.

The drill program was almost completed and it was a decision made in the interest of worker safety.

The fog was intermittent, becoming more prevalent and the weather was definately turning. A worker got hurt, it was serious enough they had to get him out. They did so but there were real concerns regarding getting somebody else out if another injury happened and the fog had set in.

Worker safety always has to come first, always, every time.

Calling another poster names is a violation of the rules.
