Please note that approval of a permit for the Flag Resources (1985) Limited mineral exploration initiative in Mackelcan Township has my full support. The team's work timeline would benefit from this permit being granted forthwith, and that the permit not include any unreasonable constraints or conditions.

In speaking personally with the people involved, I can vouch for their integrity in honoring the best interests of the land, third parties and people, best exploration practices, and applicable government involvement. That being said, please know that I am at arm's length from the project, having no vested interest in its funding, operation, or outcome.

In conclusion, please note that I am in favour of allowing prospecting and exploration activities on existing mining claims and leases in Forest Reserves where obligations under the Mining Act are met.

Thank you.
