Re: NWB1JER0306
Hello Greg,
My interpretation is that if Tahera no longer
requires this licence because all the undertakings authorized under that licence
are now authorized under the new licence, then you should apply for its
cancelation as per s. 43(1)(c)(i) of the Nunavut Waters and Nunavut Surface
Rights Tribunal Act, then request the refund of the security from DIAND as per
s. 76(5) of the Act.
On the other hand, if you still need to keep the
licence for your exploration activities -which seems to be the case, and the
other components authorized being also authorized (and subject to security) in
the new licence, then you should apply for its amendment, including for a
reduction in security with the appropriate justification (i.e. showing that the
new licence includes most if not all liabilities that were included in the
original licence).
Regards,
Philippe di Pizzo

Hi Philippe,
Phyllis wrote to me yesterday to enquire
about our existing (i.e. the
one we had prior to the Jericho Mine License)
water license for the
Jericho site. As you know there is security
attached to that to the
tune of about 900k that Tahera would like to have
refunded to us. I am
not clear on what the process is to do this - so
I would ask that you
put some thought to this and let me know how this
might be handled.
Let me know if you have any questions or call if you
want to discuss. I
am out of the Toronto office on the 15th and 18th,
but here after that.
Best Regards,
Greg

Hi
Phyllis,
Technically speaking - yes we are - specifically for
exploration
purposes. However, I need to begin discussions with the
NWB regarding
this particular Water License - specifically for the security
dollars
that are attached to it. As you know and will recall from the
Jericho
Final Hearings we proposed utilizing the security in place for the
306
license as part of the security for the Jericho Mine license, but
a
number of groups indicated that administratively that was not
possible.
There is no doubt that the majority (if not all) of the security
dollars
held in the 306 license are covered by the water license for the
mine
and as such Tahera will want as much of the security deposit refunded
as
possible.
I am not clear on what the process will be doing
this so perhaps you can
think about it and talk to Philippe and see what he
thinks. I would
like to begin this process as soon as
possible.
As we intend to continue to conduct exploration work in the
Jericho area
I think we will still need to keep the 306 license, but only
for
exploration purposes, which would have little to no
security
requirements.
I will also send an email to Philippe about
this so that he begins
thinking about it as well. Please let me know
if you have any
questions.
Regards,
Greg

Good afternoon
Greg. Just thought I would check to see if you are still
operating
under the above water license which was approved in 2003.
If
so,
no problem.
