Dear Mr Caswell, the comments you made about me (Rod Salinger) are not correct and are misleading.

A simple phone call that was never made to me would have clarified the matter. Fact is that KiTov has owned the subject land since October 2006. The area is 930 acres of private freehold land - repeat private land. Contrary to wht you suggest KiTov has been involved in many mining projects.

As for mining activities I am actively engaged with Eilat Exploration as a director. I am regularly out in the field cracking rocks in Canada, Australia and elsewhere. As a matter of record Eilat holds a 100% interest in the Summit Lake mining claim tenements located 40 Km north of Stewart BC that cover some 62 Sq Km located to the south west of the freehold land owned by KiTov. Eilat and KiTov has spent a lot of money in exploration of this area including 2 airborne geophysical surveys, detailed soil sampling programs and rock sampling, underground exploration and has filed numerous assessment reports - see the online reports. We have made some very interesting discoveries. I have also managed mineral and petroleum exploration programs (seismic and drilling) in the other parts of the world. All of which has been privately funded and which most certainly qualifies KiTov as being in the mining and resources business.

Just because KiTov or Eialt do not have websites does not mean that they are not mining companies. Sometimes privacy is a virtue.

Also to note is that I was the person who single-handedly was successful in getting the Spectrum Project mining claims (now held by Skeena Resources SKE)removed from the Mt Edziza Park Provincial recreation area as a part of the LRMP process. I also had 2,000 acres of the Mt Edziza park converted to a no staking area in order to give a clear access corridor to the Spectrum Project. All of which was proclaimed and approved by the BC legislature. Something that very few people have ever accomplished. Perseverance and logic solved the problem that Spectrum suffered after the Mt Edziza park cut of its access.

I most respectfully submit that I have some experience in the mining industry.

The matter with Pretium has everything to do with illegal use of private land and not being paid and nothing to do with whether KiTov is a mining company or not.

As a matter of interest I invite you to meet with me some day instead of belittling me.

Regards

Rod
