The school was built in 1953 and since then has had numerous additions. Piersdorff would not disclose the location. of the land for the proposed new school, saying only that negotiations are still underway, i Giant cut down A TREE that dominates the landscape near Queensway and Mark Ave, was cut down last week ‘by B,C, Hydro crews, The 160-foot tall giant had been dropping ratten limbs.

Miners want go ahead for Iskut development A MINING COMPANY that’s spent $5 million this year exploring a property near Iskut has now asked the provincial govern- ment for approval to develop a mine there, American Bullion says there’s enough copper and gold ore on its Red Chris prop- erty to develop;an open pit-mine potentially employing 300 people. mo, ‘“And that’s from figures to the end of 1994, We're now in the pre-feasibility stage from our work this. year and we expect that to be ready next February,’’ American Bul- lion's Wayne Roberts said last week. The company has 80 per cent of the prop- erty and Teck Corporation the rest. - Teck retains the right to increase its inter- est to 55 per cent should it finance the pro- ject from final feasibility into production, The property’s located 17km southeast of Iskut which is’ on Hwy37 north of Kitwanga. Since it’s close to a main road, develop- meit costs are lower than would be the case if the property was in a more inaccessible location, said Roberts. “Right now we have a combination of a good general road for 8km and then what we call a tole road, good for 4X4s for about 8km,’’ he said, Most of the work done this summer was to expand the ore reserves outlined in pre- vious years. , Preliminary feasibility work suggests the ore body now known can support a mill consuming 50,000 tonnes a day. “The size of the plant being talked about would make it B,C.’s second largest mining operation after Highland Valley,’ said “699 bo -TAPPAN.

That kind of mill would generate up to 1,000 tonnes a day of concentrate which would be trucked out to a port for shipment to a smelter overseas. “Obviously Stewart would be the closest port.to. where we are now — approximately 300km by road,”’ Roberts said. Projected development costs run to $380 million. _— oe The feasibility study is geared to copper being worth $1 a pound and gold at $375 @.S.) an ounce, One of the environmental issues now un-— der consideration is safeguarding a herd of goats near the ore body. “The local people and the regulatory ’ bodies want that herd protected and we'll be working on measures to do that,” said Roberts, oO He added that American Bullion “anticipates establishing .a working rela- tionship with the Tahltan Nation Develop- Taent Corporation and with local bands. “It’s best to operate as much as possible with local employment. They: deserve that and it works for us,’’ said Roberts. Should a mine be established, a camp will be set up on site for rotating shifts. American Bullion’s plans are to be— reviewed by the provincial government. Public meetings are planned in several communities around the northwest later this year to discuss the project. Roberts said the February 1996 date for receiving its feasibility study will also be important to delermine other outstanding is- sues thal may occur. *Heme Not Exactly Aa Illustrated *CASH & CARIAY PRICES Box 22, IMPROVING Terrace, B.C, Major Credit Cards , YOUR - Accepted opps VOG 4A2 — near | AGAINST - Marjorie Park Your donation is AND STROKE | CANADA'S "698-4467 tax deductible FOUNDATION A KILLER m - : : THE EDUCATION min- GLOBALWARMING AFS STYLE Bring the world home by hos{ing an AFS highschool exchange student from one of 30countries.
