Pool project okayed

B.C. Provincial Secretary and
Minister of Government Ser-
vices Elwood Veitch has agreed
with council’s decision last year
to drop the Community Band-
shell Project from an Expo
Legacy Grant for swimming
pool expansion.

‘*T am pleased the Community
Bandshell will be constructed for
the benefit of residents and
visitors to the City of Terrace,’’
Veitch said in a letter to the city.

But he added, “I concur that it

is economically prudent, to fund,

the Bandshell project from
general revenue in’ order to

minimize your borrowing re-

quirements for the swimming
pool expansjon.

“Therefore, I am confirming
to you that the entire amount of
$162,916 may be applied to your
swimming pool project.”

The Pool Expansion Project is
expected to begin this spring.

City to stay with

Terrace council has voted
unanimously to renew it’s
membership with the Union of
British Columbia Municipalities
(UBCM) at a cost of $2,805.23
-a five percent increase over
1987. The UBCM ) enables
municipalities and regional
districts to act collectively.

In. an open letter, UBCM
President Bill Whalley said their
major achievement in 1987 was
the establishment of the
Municipal Insurance Associa-
tion of RC ‘Few would deny
this initiative has not had a ma-
jor effect on rates and coverage,
and consequently, has been a
major accomplishment and
return on every member’s
UBCM dues investment.”’

Whalley listed other major
achievements for the past year as
being the establishment of three-
year terms for the elected of-
ficials to cut the annual cost of
civic elections, use of the provin-
cial: voters list instead of local
enumreation, municipal liability
legislation, an increase in com-
mercial vehicle licence fees, and
no increase in radio licence fees.

And, according to Whalley,
‘The UBCM Executive has set

high sights for 1988 with more

emphasis on policy development

ecutive has set a budget and five
percent dues increase which

allows us to access additional ex-”

ternal resources during 1988 to
help deal with the many issues

During 1987 the Northwest

a sudden surge of mining ex-
ploration activity in the Coast
-Mountains north of Stewart.

In North Amercian’s annual
report for 1987, company presi-
dent Robert Hunter forecasts a
total capital cost of $36 million
to put the project into produc-
tion, Current proven and prob-
able reserves total 1,340,900
tous of ore grading an average
of .35 ounces of gold per ton.
The partners have done 83,000
feet of surface and underground
drilling since 1981 and finished
6,700 feet of underground
development on the 13,500 hec-
tare property. Three mineraliza-
tion zones, the Bear, Fleece and
Totem have been identified, but
most of the property remains
unexplored.

Hunter says a combination of
underground shaft and surface
strip mining methods will give
the project a forecast operating
cost of $136 (U.S.) per ounce of
recovered gold, allowing the
partners to recoup their capital

‘investment within 1.7 years at a

production rate of 64,000
ounces annually. The payback
period is based on a gold value
of $400 (U.S.) per ounce.
Hunter termed the production
cost to be one of the lowest in
the industry. Based on current

reserves the mine will be in-

operation for at least ten years.
Newhawk Gold Mines an-
nounced the completion of an

_ kilometers ‘north of Stewart in
mid-November. A ~ permanent:

40-man camp is now established

and underground drifting and —

raising are in progress.

In the company’s 1987 third
quarter report president Don
McLeod states $5.5 million was
spent for 35,000 feet of surface
diamond drilling, 2,000 feet of
underground drifting and rais-
ing and 9,000 feet of
underground drilling.

Newhawk’s' 1988 program
calls for a feasibility study, in-
cluding environmental and
metallurgical analyses, to begin
in the spring, along with con-

tinued exploration and
underground development.
‘“‘Exploration at the

Sulphurets property has been ex- _

tremely rewarding and the prop-

erty is emerging as a truly ~

significant gold and silver
deposit,» McLeod said.

The-Sulpherets development is
a joint venture of Newhawk,
Lacana and Granduc.

Skyline Resources will go into
production this year on its
Johnny Mountain strike above
the Iskut River. The camp and
mill facilities are presently more
than 50 percent complete. Sup-
plies, machinery and materials
continue .to be flown in from
Terrace, Bob Quinn Lake and
