– but the biggest opportunity is in the area of industrial supply-chain businesses.
“Many communities in northern B.C. have small and medium-sized businesses
whose goods and services are in increasing demand. These include electricians,
earth-moving companies, construction contractors, paving companies, gravel pit
operators, road building contractors, logging operations and trucking companies.
Many of these businesses are sole-proprietor enterprises whose owners are ready
to either retire or expand their companies.
“At the BES Business Opportunities in Northern B.C. event, you will hear about
opportunities to buy out, or buy into, businesses with good growth potential.”
The event will run from 4-6 p.m. and cost $49.
Colorado Resources reports
good results in northwest
Colorado Resources says it has ‘significant’ gold
results from drilling on its property in northwestern
B.C.
"Although we started drilling only seven short weeks
ago, we already have our second set of assay results
from Inel drillholes 9-30,” said Adam Travis,
president and CEO of Colorada Resoures, in a press
release. “They have clearly demonstrated some very
significant high grade gold results up to 5.3
ounces/tonne gold over 1.0 m. We are also seeing
broader intervals (20 to 99 m) returning > 1 g/t Au
attesting to the robust nature of the mineralized
system. We have met this year's work commitment
and given our continued success we have elected to
expand our drill program and should be at the 51 per
cent earn in level expenditures by the end of this
field season more than a year ahead of schedule.”
Colorado Resources is drilling at the Inel and
Khyber Zones on the KSP Property, near the Red
Chris Mine. The property is under option from
Seabridge Gold Inc. whereby Colorado has the right
to earn an 80 per cent interest.
The expanded and accelerated program will focus on
follow up of the current drill results at Inel and also
commence drilling on the Khyber target located two
kilometres to the south of Inel.
“There's plenty of room at Inel for more mineralization as our first pass drilling
has tested only about 13 per cent of this impressive soil anomaly on a very broad
pattern,” said Travis. “This will also be our first drilling in the Khyber area this
year and our approach to testing this zone is based on the knowledge gained from
our drilling at Inel.”
The Inel and Khyber Target Zones represent an area of approximately 10 square
kilometres of the approximately 300 square kilometre KSP property. Field crews
have also been busy expanding soil coverage and examining/sampling out-crops
to the north of Inel and other prospective areas of this large district under
Colorado's control.
They aren’t actually going to come to the North, but they’re going to do a whole
lot of talking about it.
