Re: Hackett River Project/ Request for screening.

The Nunavut Water Board received an application for a licence from Hackett River

Resources Inc. dated March 23, 1998. This project is located on Inuit owned lands and

on Crown lands and involves drilling and camp operations.

In accordance with Article 12 and 13 of the Agreement Between the Inuit of the

Nunavut Settlement Area and her majesty the queen in right of Canada, the Nunavut

Water Board requests that this project be screened by the Nunavut Impact Review

Board to determine whether it has significant impact potential, and whether it requires

review, before the application can be processed by the Nunavut Water Board.

Yours truly,

Anthony Anguttitauruq

Acting Licence Administrator
