Subject: NWB1BOS0106 Spill Contingency Plan
Hugh,
 
the 2004 Spill Contingency Plan submitted with the 2003 Annual Report was given a preliminary review and found to be consistent with the previous plan submitted in 2002.  A noted change to the Plan was the update to reflect Miramar Hope Bay Ltd.'s interest in the project, along with some minor gramatical/typographical changes or corrections.
 
I would like to reference the letter sent March 29, 2004 from the NWB to yourself (MHBL), and the noted revisions requested within that letter.  Item 1 has been incorporated into the Plan, however items 2 through 8 still remain applicable to this 2004 revision with the addition of the following item;
 
1) on page 16, under section 9.1; reference is made to training in 2000 to be initiated at the start of the field program. Could you please elaborate on this section, possibly with reference to training to be provided in 2004 and onward.
 
As the March letter had indicated, the Plan has been conditionally approved by the Board with revisions requested. It would be beneficial if these recommendations (and others where necessary) could be included in a revised Plan and submitted to the NWB (licence administrator) within sixty (60)days of this email (dated May 3, 2004) for final approval.
 
I would like to thank you in advance and look forward to receiving the revised Plan.
 
Regards,
