From: GAYLE CRONIN [bcronin35@rogers.com] Sent: December 1, 2008 6:43 PM To: lpayette@nirb.ca Subject: Uravan Minerals Please register my strong opposition to Uravanʼs plans for mineral development on the calving grounds of the Beverly caribou. We understand that recent data has suggested that there has been a massive reduction in the number of breeding caribou and in the total number of caribou in this heard. I believe that the northern environment and the grounds for the caribou need to be protected as much as possible as they are unique in the world and a huge part of our history and country. We need to be helping, not hurting this heritage. Bob Cronin
