e are in our final pass in TFL54.  On current schedules this period will continue into 2011.  All areas are being reviewed for anything that may have been missed.  Stewardson block HE720 is underway at this time.  International Hoechucking has been employed to road and log what we left behind.  Market changes have helped the economics enough to give this a try as it is very heavy to HemBal.

In the Kennedy area, we are looking into recovering cedar utility on a second pass program as we deactivate.

The activity in Rankin Inlet is beginning to narrow up.  We have about 13,000m3 yet to load and haul. This will leave a bit of a lull in the program as we push hard to get Matlisaht online.  We are heavy to HemBal for the balance of the year.

Markets are softening at this time.  It appears cedar standard products are moving well but high value clears are slowing.  Our white wood will give the mill a chance to custom cut.  My hope is that we can stretch what we have to fill mill time. 

If 2010 had a market hotspot, we've had it! It is over.

 

Your safety is everyone’s responsibility, especially yours
