Skyline Explorations announ-
ced last week that copper as well
as silver and gold will be shipped
out of its Johnny Mountain pro-
perty north of Stewart.

Ted Groves, geological con-
sultant for the company, said
the ore from the site is grading
an average of one percent cop-
per. ‘‘The mineralization is
primarily gold at about 1.5

ounces per ton,” Groves said, -

“but there are also significant
amounts of silver, copper, lead
and zinc.” .

The decision to include copper
in the concentrate shipped out of
the site will only involve modifi-
cations to the milling plant
already being assembled on the
site. Groves pointed out that the
cost-savings for Skyline will be
two-fold: leaving the copper in
the concentrate will require less
refining and, at current market

prices for copper, the company |
could realize an additional.
return of up to $10,000 per day
at a production rate of 400 tons
daily. ‘‘It decreases the overall
cost of production and gives us

‘better recovery,” Groves said.

> The mining method, projected
volume of ore extraction, ma-
chinery and employment. levels
at the mine will not be affected.

In another development,
Groves indicated the company is
considering an offer for exten-
sion of hydroelectric power to
the mine site - from the com-
munities of Wrangell and Pe-
tersburg, Alaska. The two
towns, located on islands near
the Iskut River estuary, are em-
barked on a joint power project
to tap the hydroelectric potential
of the Bradfield Canal. Groves
said Skyline. was approached
with the suggestion and’ noted

"Nass Valley to get mill
as part of timber sale

_.The awarding of a major
forest’ license in the North
Kalum timber supply area will
be conditional on the successful
applicant establishing a timber

processing facility in the Nass.

Valley,

The license covers harvesting
of 750,000 cubic meters of
timber over the next 15 years,
with at least one third of that
volume coming out of the area
on the north side of the Nass
River across from Canyon City.
The licensee will also be required
to construct a road through the
Indian reserve lands and build
an access bridge across the Nass
River.

Herb Quast, a superintendent
for the Ministry of Forests
Kalum district office in Terrace,
said the license is similar to one
granted to Wedeene River Tim-

_ber several years ago that re-

quired the company to build a
sawmill in Prince Rupert as a

condition of harvesting coastal ~

timber areas. That license in-
cluded the Khutzymateen valley,
an area contested by wilderness
preservationists due to a unique
population of grizzly bears and
other natural features of the
valley. The right to harvest is

still in dispute; and the sawmill .

still hasn’t been built despite five
extensions on the license.

‘underlie these complaints and
how the situation may be im-
proved,’’

Crosbie concluded by saying
that CAI had been asked to pro-
vide an explanation, and Zuc-
chiatti would hear from NTA
when their analysis had been
completed.

Zucchiatti said he was en-

‘couraged by the letter as it was

written by Crosbie himself, not
an assistant, and he concluded
that the minister is personally
concerned about the situation.
At the same time, he stressed the
belief that local CAI staff are
not to blame for CAI’s
downward service spiral. The
blame, he asserted, belongs to
top management in Calgary,
whom he claimed may be more

concerned about making money
on competitive runs rather than
offering the same level of service
on non-competitive runs.

He said he is tired of ‘“‘form
letters telling us what a great job
they are doing’ from CAI’s vice
president in charge of schedul-
ing, W.B, Stratton, and he said
he is certain that with continued
political pressure as well as com-
petition from other carriers like
Skylink and Air B.C., the situa-
tion will improve.

Zucchiatti added that the let-
ter from Crosbie wasn’t the only
answer he had received to his
complaints. He said that
Premier Vander Zalm, MLA
Dave Parker and MP Jim Fulton
had all replied offering further
political support.

Fishermen’s Park —~ continued from page 1

‘deluxe, resort-type ramp’, it

was well used and serviceable

and was maintained purely for

the purpose of providing a free

service to local and visiting
fishermen. He added that, if the
park were lost, the next closest
boat launching ramp is one
maintained by the Ministry of
Highways and located about
halfway between Terrace and
Prince Rupert.

He said the city is considering
other alternatives, such as Ferry
Island, but the cost appears just
too high. ‘“‘That doesn’t mean
that at some time in the future
we won’t be looking at
something like that,’’ he added.

According to Scott, the
Fishermen’s Park lease isn’t the
only issue where CN has failed
to cooperate with the city over
the past 12 months. He describ-
ed the Terrace Beautification
Society efforts to encourage CN

w Upgrade their property from
the Kenney Street crossing to
Fishermen’s Park.

**They were asked basically,
just to clean up the area between
the tracks and the highway, and
to locate a buffer area of trees or
a hedge,” explained Scott. ‘‘We
were hoping that they would do
it, but on the other hand we were
prepared to look at any pro-
posals they might make,”’

He said CN’s only reply was
that they would do it, but only in
return for a tax break. However,
Soctt said that the society ex-
plained to CN that, under the
Municipal Act, the city had no
authority to give them one: Con-
sequently, CN did nothing,
while local Ministry of
Highways crews upgraded and
planted grass on the property
between the highway and the
tracks.

Quast said the license condi-
tions don’t ‘“‘spell out” the
volume or percentage of timber
that has to processed locally, but

he noted that applications pro- -

posing large volumes of local
processing that create maximum
employment for local residents
will have the best chance of suc-
ceeding.

The deadline for applications
is March 24, and Quast specu-
lated that two to four weeks will
be required to screen the pro-
posals and award the license.

Skyline to extract copper from gold ore

that it makes economic sense in
view of the exploration activity
and potential power market in
the gold fields around the Iskut
River on the B.C. side of the of

- the border. “I can’t speak for

the company, but personally I
think it’s a great idea,”’ he said.

The site is presently powered
by generators that require daily
airlifts of fuel.

A report from Skyline two
weeks ago indicates the airlift of
mill machinery, structural steel
and camp equipment is com-
plete, The material was taken in
from Wrangell over a period of
months using Hercules aircraft.

Skyline president Reg Davis

Said the exterior structure of the

mill plant should be finished
within two weeks, and he ex-
pects production of ore concen-
trate to begin sometime in May.
The initial production target is
$0,000 ounces of gold annually,
and Davis notes that the capaci-
ty could be doubled ‘‘with
minimal capital costs’’.

The estimated life of the mine
with current measured reserves
is five years. Drill-indicated and
drill-inferred reserves stand at
eight times the measured reserv-
es, which would put the dis-
covery up in the million-ounce
category.
