“TERRACE — The provincial 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.

". s tranquilized,

:The firm is gne‘of several. to > submit proposals for the studies 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 - by air’ which increases. mineral - exploration and development easts. he 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-

. {panies operating in the Iskut — Skyline Gold, Cominco and ‘Prime Resources.

“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.

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.
