Re: File No: NWB2INU

Dear Ms. Becker:

This is to inform the Nunavut Water Board of a change in the original permit application made by Rhonda Corporation for its Inulik Lake property.

We have had to switch expediting firms due to a large difference in cost quotations. We tried our best to consider the firm originally stated in the application but the cost difference was too great. The expediting firm to be used now is Discovery Mining Services out of Yellowknife. Discovery is a firm experienced in northern work and will be hiring whenever possible from Nunavut.

Please let me know if there is anything further you require.

Sincerely,

Judy Stoeterau

VP Exploration
