Attached you will find a letter dated January 7, 1999 from Diane Gregory of Kennecott Canada Exploration Inc. requesting to cancel permit No. NWB2BIG9800 for the Bignose property in the Kitikmeot region. My question is, does your department need to do a final inspection before they abandon this site.

Thank you,

David
