Glad you stumbled on to us, Brad. I know the Hazeltons well. As a youngster I used to hike up to the old Western Uranium Mine on Rouge de Boulle (1959-60) (spelling may not be correct after all these years, but for other readers, it is a large magnificent mountain towering over the Hazeltons) and the Red Rose Mine in behind. In those days we went part way up the mountain by 4 X 4 from Skeena Crossing, then hoofed it to the mine site. We would camp overnight in the old buildings then hike up to the top of the mountain, exploring the old mine shafts on the way. I took my boys up to the top of the mountain back in 1981 or 82. The view over the valley is incomparable, New Town, Old Town and South Hazelton (as I recall). I'm sure by now that the logging roads have opened up that area. My son John lives in our home on Lake Kathlyn (South West corner of the lake). He is an avid sportsman: fishing, trapping, hunting and skiing. He is a couple of years younger than you, but it sounds like you two might have a lot in common. John is a heavy duty mechanic, runs his own operation as JTS Contracting. He doesn't use his email that often, but I will send him a link to put you in touch with him. Alternately, drop him a line at jtsmyth@netshop.net If you wish to send your mailing address privately, I will send the IR package to you. The CD may be a while yet. Glad to here spring has arrived there. When I spoke to John the other day he told me they just had another snow fall. I understand it melted that afternoon though. We would welcome you as a shareholder, particularly if you are interested in the long term growth potential. By the way, my brother-in-law is the maintenance superintendent for the Repap mill in Terrace. Do you know anyone there? Regards, John
