Mr. Victor Bryant reports
SWAMP POINT NORTH SITE UPDATE
Highbank Resources Ltd. has provided an update on an on-site inspection on Sept. 23, 2014.
Swamp Point North barge-loading facility
Transportation of the pilings from the Port of Prince Rupert was received at Swamp Point North on
Sept. 23, 2014. Over one-half of the pilings required for the load-out facility have now been installed, placing
the company approximately two weeks ahead of schedule. Installation of the loading conveyor system has commenced. Again,
this is well ahead of schedule.
Camp and mine site development
Improvement to the site and camp continues. Telephone and Internet communications have been established. A
camp-perimeter electrified bear fence as per site requirements has been installed. Road access development and
overburden stripping are proceeding satisfactorily. The region has experienced record rainfall affording on-site
environmental personnel to precisely implement the requirements for compliance with water management and other
regulations. Despite the extremely high rainfall in the area, development continues well on track. Watch for photo
updates and an updated power point presentation on the comppany's website.
Highbank looks forward to being in the pre-eminent position of being able to supply aggregates in support of the
continuing construction to the Port of Prince Rupert ($1.2-billion federal development project). The company's contribution will
assist in meeting the federal government's commitment to make the Port of Prince Rupert, Canada's gateway to
the Asian markets. The company has unwavering confidence in B.C. Premier Christy Clark's and her ministers'
ability to conclude negotiations and set forward a fair liquefied natural gas tax regime. The B.C.
government has stated that the tax regime will be outlined at the opening of the legislature's fall session Oct. 8,
2014. Liquefied natural gas is an increasingly important pillar of the global energy industry.
