Significant work continued at SRK Engineers in Lakewood, Colorado to <br />enhance and improve the data base in the Vulcan - Maptek 3 dimensional <br />program for the Cross Mine and Caribou district mines. <br />13.

Both myself and Dave Young completed our eight hour MSHA safety <br />Training at the Edgar Mine with Harry Lovely.
