Business REVIEW

Out & About

Promising drill results

Westmin Resources has started a second-phase drilling
program at ils Premier property near Stewart based on
successful earlier results.

The company shut down underground mining at Premier
Gold earlier this year because of depleted reserves,

But subsequent drilling found 261,000 proven and prob-
able tonnes of gold and silver ore and the company hopes
to find more with its latest exploration,

New businesses multiply

THE CITY issued 33 new business licences in October.

On the list are a number of construction contractors, and
a range of other businesses.

They include new retail outlets like Ebony’s Hidden
Treasures on Kalum St., Work World in the Keith Ave.
Mall, and the new Crafters Gallery on Lakelse Ave.

Other new business licences include Rold Salvage and
Recycling (Michele and Gus Nehring), Michele's
Bodycare (Michele Clarkson), Aaran Computer Solu-
tions, Terrabytes computer programs sales and service
(Robert MacMilan), Touch of Energy Services health
care specialty (Virginia Hystad), and two new delivery ser-
vices ~- Sattle Delivery run by Jason Holmberg and
Rosie’s Delivery Service under Anthony Mandzuk.

Sears opens outlet

SEARS has opened its new retail sales outict. It’s located
in the same space where the company’s catalogue sales op-
eration is now.

And both are being handled by the same people,
Corinna Morhart and Steve Butler.

The retail sales outlet is a new venture for Sears which
plans to have 60 of them open across Canada by the end of
the year.
~ They'll be selling major appliances, home clectronics,
floor care products, sewing products and outdoor power
- products.

The effort is in many ways a re-introduction of what
* -ysed to be the case in smaller Canadian centres — sales of
certain products combined with a catalogue service.
Sears then shifted 10 having catalogue sales service pro-
~ vided for by other companies who could combine that with
other business ventures in one location before establishing
this newest system.

Construction to
match *95 record

ANOTHER $1.8 million worth of building permits were
issued by the city in October.

That brings the year’s total up to $23.8 million — about |

a million ahead of the figure for the same time last year
and about a million short of the 1995 year-end record.

Senior building inspector Paul Gipps said a spreadsheet
error resulted in an incorrect number being circulated in
September,

‘That month’s report had shown the city already at $24, 2
million in construction, just short of the $24. § miltion 95
record,

Gipps said that figure was $2 million too high,

He expected building permits issued in November and
December to push the *96 total up to or above the ’95
level.

He said some of the farger projects expected to hit this
year — Wesitfair Foods’ Real Canadian Wholesale Club
and a proposed major retail stare on Hwy 16 West aren’t
going to gel started until 1997,

“That should give us a ‘good bump to start next year,”’
he added.

Residential construction led the way in October, with

four house starts and two multi-family projects accounting

for more than $975, 000 worth of constfuction.
