Ken:

As requested I have enclosed a copy of the application form in which Noranda makes reference to having applied for a land use permit, see section 13. Also, included are two maps, you will note that the drilling sites and landing strip do not all fall within the blocks shown.

I hope we can clear up the confusion.

Thanks for your help!
