Hi Matthew
Sorry, sometime I get so abbreviated in my response.  Initial AR means a
preliminary Abandonment and Restoration Plan.  

On your second point, couple things I will need to clarify with respect
to the project is whether or not it would be classified as a Type A or
Type B application if it's type A it is subject to screening by the
NIRB.  You should check the reg's as will I but not knowing the exact
scope of your request it's difficult to say (ie depends on milling
rate).  As for the NIRB process/decision on the Doris project and how it
will effect this project. I can't say at this point until and
application is filed because a NWB Board decision etc depends upon the
nature/scope of the application and comments obtained through the public
review process.   
Hope this helps a little.  If you need anything else let us know. 
Dionne

Hello Dionne:
 
Thank you very much for your quick response to my questions. I am very
greatfull for the information that you have provided us with.
*	
	As for your Point 6; what does initial AR means? Just gone off
my brain right now.
*	
	Secondly, will our current submission for Doris North and the
board decision have a bearing on this submission? 
 
I am currently putting together a frame work on how we would achieve
your requirements, something that I learnt from reading your responses
to Doris North submissions.
 
thanks and best regards..matt

Hi Matthew,
It's my understanding from Phyllis Beaulieu, NWB License Administrator
that you had questions on submission requirements for moving a project
from exploration phase to advanced exploration phase (this means bulk
sampling and not full scale mine development).  At a minimum you need to
file with the Board the following:
1.	An application form w/$30 (Payment made to: Receiver General for
Canada), 
2.	Executive summary of project in English and Inuktitut (possibly
in Innuinaktun as well if project impacts Cambridge Bay and westward); 
3.	Supplemental Questionnaire for "Advanced Exploration" and any
other details found in Section 6(2) of the NWT Water Regulations as they
apply to your proposal if not covered off under the questionnaire.   
4.	Summary of Baseline work completed to date (NWB may request info
at later date) and detailed overview/plan for work to be undertaken i.e.
ARD assessment work, Mine water drainage minimization/treatment plan. 
5.	Revised Spill Contingency Plan for the project site 
6.	Revised AR plan in accordance with NWB guidelines including a
cost estimate for full cost recovery based on 3rd party undertaking
work. 
 
Note: forms/questionnaires/guidelines can be found on NWB ftp site.  
 
If you require further assistance or clarification do not hesitate to
contact Phyllis Beaulieu on Administrative matters Tel: 867-360-6338 or
email licensing@nwb.nunavut.ca , or Dave Hohnstein, Technical Advisor
Mining at Tel: 780-443-4406 email: tech2@nwb.nunavut.ca for
clarification on technical issues.  
 
Regards,
Dionne
