This is a periodic update of new additions to the Public Registry for EA0607-002 – the Pine Point Pilot Project (PPPP).

In addition, the developer is currently working on a deficiency response to bring the Developer’s Assessment Report (DAR) into conformity with the requirements of the Review Board’s Terms of Reference. Review Board staff will be contacting all parties that have expressed an interest in this development over the next week to confirm interest in receiving the DAR, and mailing addresses for the developer to forward that material to when it is completed.

PLEASE NOTE: We have encountered some problems with our website automatic update subscription service over previous weeks.  Subscribers may not have received automatic email updates for the above documents. We apologize and hopefully have remedied the problem.

In addition, recent news items on the Pine Point Pilot Project include 

•	February 19/07 – a CBC News item – “MLA warns of Pine Point Mine Proposal"
•	March 5/2007 – News/North NWT – “Thumbs up and down for Tamerlane Mining”, page 18

Interested parties should follow up with the news organization to get information about these items. The MVEIRB will only include this type of material in its paper public registry (not online), unless it receives express written requests from the organization holding the copyright on the material.

Contact me with any questions or requests for material.
