of ‘residents in the area deter-

TERRACE — West Fraser re-
mains as one of several’ com-
panies ‘interested in buying a
troubled Prince Rupert sawmill,
says its receiver.

Colin Rogers of Peat, ‘Mare.

wick Thorne made the comment
after another company; “Inter:
pac, decided not to g0' ‘ahead

with a proposal to buy: Wedeene .

River Timber.

That latter proposal was to be
heard in court. earlier this
month.

“Right now we have nothing
to take to court. We might get
some offers in: ‘the next week," ae
said Rogers, ©

He added that West Fraser is

probably the most suitable

buyer because of its milling ek:

perience.

West Fraser has looked at .

buying the mill several. times

into receivership last fall,

The mill opened in 1988 but ©

ran into financial difficulty
when revenues didn’t meet, ex
penises.

| Wedeene had been depending
ona government licence to ¢x-__

port logs but that was cancelled:

It said it needed permission to
export logs too large for its mill
to provide money to buy logs it
could cut and to invest in, equip-
ment allowing it to cut. thase
larger logs. .

Wedeene owes nearly $20

million with the Canadian Im-
perial’ Bank of Commerce, the
Federal ‘Business Development
Bank, the provincial B.C.

In the meantime, Rogers ¢x-

some cash flow to cover -ex-

And, logging will take place

‘pany, he said.

“We'd like to. have ‘the inill

we'll do that- ourselves if we -
have to," said Rogers. ~.-—

Some 4,000 cubic metres. of
wood was sold on the export

market earlier this year and
more is possible, he continued.

Wedeene was given permis-
sion to export Jast fall after it
went into receivership.

Under a general export
policy, the company can export
20 per. cent of its cut up to a
maximum 20,000 cubic metres a
year, So

Rogers said the remainder of

the logs would be sold to other.

mills or on the Vancouver
market.
