NOTE:
A series of operational changes primarily to the materials handling facilities,
within that time frame, has affected Plasco Trail Road's ability to ramp
up production rates. A sustained run of 24 hours at the maximum rate would
permit triplicate source testing required by our Certificate of Approval
for Air. Substantial progress is occurring in increasing throughput rates
and Plasco Trail Road expects to have the facility available for testing
during the first week in June. A modified pre-test plan is being submitted
to the MOE to reflect our revised plans and schedule.

WEEKLY COMMENTS:
This is the data submitted to the Ministry of Environment of Ontario for the week of July 14th through the 20th.
We experienced a brief period where the plant exceeded its permitted SO2 level due to an unforeseen chemical reaction in the carbon filter. The process was shut down safely and rapidly, and the event reported to the Ministry of Environment according to the provisions of our C of A.
