Thanks for the call yesterday Leslie.  I spoke with our legal staff and the plan we have agreed to with Geoff Clark is to modify the commercial lease to include the Doris Camp to Windy Camp all-season road.  This decision by Geoff was based on the understanding that the KIA could make that decision since the road is on IOL and does not trigger any federal actions, so it is exempt from NIRB screening.  We think that the confusion is within the KIA and we will contact Geoff to see if he can clarify the situation within the KIA.  We will keep you informed from our end as we learn more.


Thanks again and enjoy your leave.

 

Mike

Mike,

 

I guess we are both difficult to get a hold of J

 

My phone call was in regards to the all-weather road to Windy Camp.  Back in March prior to the Nunavut Mining Symposium we communicated regarding your application with the KIA for a permit; however you had requested that we not look at the information until you determined the details of certain water crossings for the Water License.

 

Following your meeting with Stephanie at the NMS you indicated that you would be submitting an application within a week (email attached); to which I believe we only received (via mail - Letter dated May 13, 2008) in hard copy on May 23, 2008; is it correct to assume these are the same project proposals?

 

I spoke with Stanley at the KIA and he mentioned something about amending a previous license (KIA# KTCL308D003 or #KTL399C028) for the road…..

 

I would greatly appreciate if you could try to clarify for me either via email or trying the phone again.  I will be on Annual Leave starting tomorrow until next Wednesday, but will still check my emails every couple of days.

 

Looking forward to speaking with you to clarify what is before the Board, 

 

Regards,

Leslie
