VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (FRANKFURT: IAR) ("WestCan") ("the
Company") is pleased to announce the Company has applied to the
Government of Manitoba for a coal exploration permit on two
sections of land close to the Manitoba/Saskatchewan border. The
decision was prompted by examination of Manitoba Geological Survey
maps which indicate the area to be underlain by the Swan River
formation of the same Cretaceous age as the Goldsource Mines Inc.
recent coal discovery.
The permitting process in Manitoba is considerably more
expensive than in Saskatchewan, however management felt it was
imperative to acquire an initial block of land for exploration as
traditionally, coal deposits are quite extensive and it would be
highly unlikely they would end at the border. Further acquisitions
will be considered as WestCan geologists continue to do due
diligence.
Recently the Company has applied for permits in Saskatchewan
covering 3 townships totalling over 27,000 hectares, and has
received a comfort letter from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy
and Resources, on one of those 3 parcels.
Dr. K. Warren Geiger, Ph.D., P. Eng., P.Geo., a Qualified Person
for WestCan, as defined by NI 43-101, is currently co-ordinating
the research of the development in east-central Saskatchewan and
west-central Manitoba.
