There has been a lot of local media coverage of the uranium issue in the past week. The Haliburton County Echo contains two articles written by Matt James: one is about Bancroft Uranium's Monmouth Uranium Project and the other is about us. Pick up a copy of the Echo (December 18, 2007, Vol 124 No. 51) and check it out. In addition, the current issue of The Highlands Courier (Dec. 7 - Jan. 8) contains a number of articles regarding the uranium exploration activity happening east of us in Frontenac County.
We have spoken with a lab in Kingston who will test our water for roughly $15 per sample. We should have all the details finalized shortly after the Christmas holiday.
Thanks to everyone who has shown their support.
Happy Holidays!

Update on Uranium Activity in Highlands East (and elsewhere)
Sadly, Bancroft Uranium Inc is going to begin drilling on their Monmouth claim in January, 2008. The claim is located along Hwy 503 in Tory Hill. The Irondale River runs through it. You can find more information on their website.
We are currently investigating getting our water tested for uranium. We encourage everyone to get their water tested now so we have baseline readings before drilling begins. Once we determine the cost and procedure, we will coordinate the water testing for all who are interested in participating. We will have more information on this in the next couple of days.
We recently had a letter to the editor published in the Star in response to their article on Donna Dillman's hunger strike. Donna Dillman, a grandmother from eastern Ontario, has been on a hunger strike since early October to protest uranium mining in her area. Visit the Canadian Coalition Against Mining Uranium (CCAMU) website for more information on the situation in eastern Ontario.
Finally, hunting season has passed and we have been hearing rumours of continued staking activity in our area.
The word is out and interest is growing rapidly! Thanks to everyone who has contacted us and shown their support.
