Here's an excerpt from a recent PAX PR with lots on access and transportation. "Pacifica Resources Completes Winter Mobilization to Selwyn Project Vancouver, BC, May 2, 2006 – Pacifica Resources Ltd. (PAX.TSX-V) is pleased to update shareholders regarding progress on project planning for the Selwyn Project, Yukon. The winter trail was completed efficiently with the support of the Ross River Kaska Dena, Yukon Government (Energy Mines and Resources), and numerous service providers who provided logistical support, materials and supplies. Two D7 caterpillars and considerable bulk materials are now on the property and ready for commencement of the minimum $8 million exploration, environmental and engineering programs. The large-scale mobilization of bulk supplies for the Selwyn Project greatly reduces the start up time of the existing 40-man Anniv camp in mid-May 2006 and expedites having the second 40-person exploration camp at XY built and fully active by early June 2006. The company wishes to acknowledge the assistance of the Cantung mine in assisting in the large-scale mobilization of bulk supplies from the Cantung airstrip utilizing a large-lift, Kamovhelicopter. Bulk supplies moved to both the Anniv and XY camp areas include one 420 Caterpillar Loader, two Arctic-grade bulk fuel containment and storage systems, bulk arcticgrade diesel fuel, four 4x4 trucks, two Seacans full of drilling additives and supplies, all drill pad building lumber for 2006, culverts, and large timber for road rehabilitation. Pacifica is fully permitted for all exploration activities in the Yukon in 2006 with permitting ongoing for the NWT. A permit application for use of an existing access road from the Cantung Mine, NWT to the Selwyn Project, Yukon has been recently grandfathered by the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board (MVLWB). The permit will be issued by the MVLWB in either late May or early June, and will allow Pacifica to rehabilitate and use the access road for logistical support of the Selwyn Project; which upon full restoration, will also add increased efficiency and reduce logistical costs. The 2006 drilling program is expected to start in late May with two drills and increase to eight diamond drills by the end of June. Four of the drills will focus on drilling off the known near surface resources for open pit modeling. The remaining four drills will evaluate new discoveries in the OP, Don and Brodel zones and stratigraphic drilling to identify the extent and grade distribution over the entire basin, with a focus to defining high grade zones of greater than 20% combined zinc and lead, similar to those previously defined in the XY zone.
