Tn response to many inquiries
concerning the exact situation
on proposed taxes which effect
mining, we have decided to ‘lay
bare‘ to the press, what is in-
volved in getting our small
scale mineral praduction going.

The particular mineral oc-
curence in question contains
appreciable amounts of Gold
and Silver and is a simple type
of mineralization requiring
simple concentrating equip-
ment,

We feel that mining and
concentrating 30 tons per day
would earn a tidy profit.

Investment in cancentrating
equipment and ore moving
equipment would be about
$50,000. The company is now
attempting to raise $70,000
locally which allows for $20,000
for operating capital, and initial-
mining costs.

Figures representing the
proposed operation show a
gross revenue of $150,000.00 per

year with costs of mining and -

concentrating plus shipping of:
concentrates totalling
$78,285.00; from the gross is
deducted the total costs plus
administration and overhead of
15 percent or $11,740.00, leaving
net earnings of $57,235.00 per
year. The company is prepared
to pay to those supplying capital
of $70,000.00, 20 percent of the
net earnings or $11,447.00 per
year on an annual performance
as used for the ftnanclal
statement. The company would

therefore earn a net profit of ©

$45,798.00 per yearwhich, under
the present Canada taxation
system, is tax free for three
years, which, over several
years, pays the company for the
‘5 years spent to date on the

property so far, in carrying out
exploration and assessing the
“mineralization as to what size of

mine can be established...

production is proposed) of the

The present 3 year tax. free
period applicable to new mines
is intended to allow the com-
pany to recover the ‘high risk‘
capital expended prior to going
inté produetion.

Under the proposed Canada
Taxation scheme, the 3 year tax
free period is to a abolished.
Higher than average capital
write-of€ will take its place. But
this is write-off of the funds
invested only in machinery and
equipment for production. The

‘Kleanza‘ example, though of

small sizeis a good comparison.
Only the $50,000,00 invested in
equipment would be written off
as depreciation. The amounts
of money expended over a
period of several years in ex-
ploration would be totally lost,
unless the proposals now
scheduled for going into effect
on January ist,

changed.

Dear Editor:

An area chub for the Kanata

as it may seem, that's the

way it’s done. It makes one think that
jobs get done not only because of the
nature of politics, but in spite of it.
