government is negotiating with
a firm to do engineering and en-
‘vironmental work for a-road in-

a to the gold-rich Iskut Valley

. a ‘north of Stewart.

:The firm is gne‘of several. to

following. this spring’s . an-
nouncement. by the province
that it wants to build a92km in-
to the area.

Access to the area is now only

CA spokesman for the provin-

cial mines ministry said it is too
_ early. to predict when those
* negotiations will finish, when
the ‘studies’ will be done and

when construction would start.

It’s. shard to estimate. We
“Want to’ get things underway as
. quickly: as possible,” said Greg
~ Makillop .

He said it is also too carly to

say what kind. of company. will
- be. formed to oversee the road
work,

~The. ‘province - will: be the

single largest shareholder in the

company - and it ‘will have as
‘Partners: ‘three mining ° ‘com-

“There are a whole lot of op-
tions we're exploring,” said
McKillop i in adding there could
be provision for other mining
companies to buy into the road
company as their Iskut proper-
ties develop.

‘ The province says it will
finance approximately one-
third of .the estimated $20
million cost of the 92km road.
The extent of the mining com-
panies’ participation will be
negotiated once the engineering
and environmental design work
has been done.

McKillop did say there is a lot
of interest in how contracts for
the road work will be let as
smaller; ‘northwest companies
want a chance to bid,

As well, the Tahltan Tribal
Council also says it wants some
contracts, to. go to its develop-
ment company.

wh kaKkkk .

The first meeting of an ad-
visory group to decide upon ac-
cess .and. other issues. dealing
with the road took place last
week.

. Its members-are the Kitimat-
Stikine regional district, the
Tahltan Tribal Council, the
mines ministry, Cominco,
Prime Resources and Skyline
Gold.

also noted dump bears are more
dangerous than wild grizzlies
because they have lost their fear
of humans. |

He said conservation officers

have moved some black bears
from the Terrace-Kitimat area,
but haven’t had any grizzly pro-
blems. Three black bears have
had. to be destroyed, he added.

Because grizzlies are a pro-
tected species, he said, conser-
vation officers are committed to
moving them to

killing them. Most of the

Kemano bears were taken toa jf

remote region southwest of
Kemano. The Kemano captures
bring io -nine. the number of
grizzlies that have been moved
this year.
