turn the page on the project and work through the early steps to development and production. My
experiences with the First Nations and regulators in the southern Golden Triangle have been great in
the past and I look forward to expanding that collaboration on this new, exciting project. Scottie could
be a real benefit to the area of Stewart, Hyder and the Nisga'a Nation, as well as the province as a
whole".
