1. Wisconsin Sulfide Mining Moratorium Becomes Law
From present and future generations of Wisconsin citizens:
An Earth Day announcement and a heartfelt thank you! to our friends
in
North America and around the world who helped make today's victory
possible.
People DO have the power to redeem the work of fools.

a. Governor Thompson Signs Sulfide Mining Moratorium
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 1998 16:57:50 -0600
From: Zoltan Grossman <mtn@igc.apc.org>
Governor Tommy Thompson of
Wisconsin signed the Sulfide Mining
Moratorium Bill at 1:30 pm today, Earth Day,
in Shawano, next to the threatened Wolf River. The
Republican Thompson has been a pro-mining
governor, and this signing is a move
made under heavy pressure from a strong
grassroots environmental movement.
The movement united Native American
nations with white sportfishing groups,
environmental groups with unionists,
and many others.
The Bill prohibits the state issuance of permits for
new metallic sulfide mines unles one such mine in North
America is certified by the Department of Natural Resources to
have operated for 10 years and been closed for
10 years without causing pollution. It is particularly
directed at stopping the Crandon zinc-copper mine near
the Mole Lake Chippewa Reservation, proposed by Toronto's
Rio Algom Corporation. The Bill does not stop
the mine directly, but adds the new criteria at the end
of the permit process. We are on guard that the DNR
does not weaken the bill through its rule-making authority.
We are also asking the Governor to stop opposing Wisconsin
tribes' applications for enhanced environmental authority under
the federal Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act.
This has been a major victory
for Wisconsin's environmental movement,
rooted in its history of populist politics and
environmental ethics. The mining industry journals
are now expressing fears that this moratorium concept,
and the concept of a new multiracial, rural-based
environmental movement, will spread in a "contagion"
beyond the state's borders.
Consider yourself infected.

b. Joint Statement on the Signing of the Mining Moratorium Bill (SB3)
April 22, 1998

Group of
Northern Thunder, Clean Water Action Council, Protect Our Wolf River,
Midwest Treaty Network, Wolf Watershed Educational Project, EarthWINS
Today, April 22, Earth Day 1998, the people of Wisconsin celebrate one
of
the greatest grassroots environmental victories this state has ever
witnessed.
We are grateful that the Governor finally heeded the concerns of Wisconsin
citizens by signing the Mining Moratorium Bill (SB 3).
For six years, we have been fighting Exxon and Rio Algom's plan to buile
an
unsafe metallic sulfide mine on the Wolf River. A coalition of
environmentalists, conservationists, Native American tribes, individual
landowners, mom & pop tourism outfits and local communities swept
across
the state building support for a moratorium.
In that time, hundreds of Wisconsin residents attended rallies and
hearings. Thousands wrote letters to legislators and local newspapers.
They
put signs in their yards and bumper stickers on their cars and boats.
They
refused to be defeated by Exxon's million dollar ads, Wisconsin
Manufacturers and Commerce pinstriped lobbyists, or the political tricks
of
the Assembly Republican leadership.
Today, in a testament to the power of grassroots organizing and the
principles of democracy, the citizens of Wisconsin will have a new
law to
protect them from unsafe mining and untested mining technology.
However, the victory will not be complete until the bill is fully
implemented. We are concerned that those who opposed passage of the
bill
will try to gut it in the rule-making process.
We call upon Governor Thompson to make the signing of this bill more
than a
photo opportunity by pledging that SB3 will be fully and completely
implemented. We ask him to clearly state how the rules will be defined.

SB3 Becomes Law, Menominee Nation Fears the WDNR's Interpretation
The Menominee Nation is pleased that Governor Tommy Thompson is finally
signing the Mining Moratorium Bill, SB3, into law this Earth Day, April
22,
1998.
We appreciate his selection, on Earth Day, the signing site to be Shawano,
WI on the Wolf River. The Wolf River has sustained the Menominee Nation
for
thousands of years and continues to play a significant role in the
lives of
the Menominee. It is for our future generation's children that we feel
the
pristine water natural resource needs protection.
What does the Mining Moratorium Law mean?
SB3 states that a mining company must find a sulfide mine with a net
acid
generating potential which has operated for at least ten years and
has been
closed for at least 10 years in the U.S. or Canada without the pollution
of
ground or surface water.
Although SB3 is law, the Menominee Nation remains vigilant and apprehensive
due to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources'(WDNR) pro-mining
appearance. Given the WDNR's appearance, we fear and question their
ability
to fairly develop interpretive administrative rules as to what the
law
means and how the law will be applied to the Environmental Impact Statement
process of the proposed sulfide mine near Crandon, WI.
We respectfully call upon Governor Tommy Thompson to mandate his
Administration, the WDNR, to develop rules consistent with the intent
of
those who pushed the Mining Moratorium Bill through the WI State Legislature.

PAGE E10 HEADLINE Cameco buys 2 German-owned uranium firms
SASKATOON -- Uranium mining giant Cameco Corp. announced yesterday it
has
signed a deal to buy additional stakes of uranium mining projects in
Canada
and the U.S. from a big German industrial group.
Cameco said it will buy Uranerz Exploration and Mining Ltd. of Saskatoon
and Uranerz U.S.A. Inc. of Denver from their German parent, Uranerzbergbau
GmbH, a company owned by a large German industrial group and that country's
largest electrical utility.
The purchase price is $483 million in cash.
The deal gives Cameco an additional 33.33-per-cent interests in the
Key
Lake and Rabbit Lake uranium mines and a 27.9-per-cent interest in
the
McArthur River uranium project.
The transaction also includes at 57.69-per-cent interest in the Crow
Butte
uranium mine in Nebraska plus uranium and gold exploration properties
in
northern Saskatchewan, the United States and Kazakhstan, a former Soviet
republic in central Asia.
Cameco said the acquisition of the two German-owned companies will result
in a 30-per-cent increase in the Canadian producer's uranium reserves,
resources and production.
The transaction also brings the benefit of a more diversified customer
base
as a result of the portfolio of contracts that Cameco will assume,
the
company said in a release.
The deal is expected to close by late this summer, pending regulatory
approvals.
``We are confident this acquisition represents an excellent investment
of
Cameco's financial resources,'' Cameco president Bernard Michel said
in a
release. ``Cameco emerges with increased ownership in three premier
uranium
deposits, other significant assets and added flexibilities, all of
which
will play a critical role in the future development of our core business,
uranium production.''
With the purchase, Cameco will own 100 per cent of the Key Lake and
Rabbit
Lake uranium mines, formerly joint- venture properties in which the
German
group held a one-third interest and Cameco two-thirds.
The mines, located in northern Saskatchewan and operated by Cameco,
produced a total of 26.1 million pounds of uranium last year.
The acquisition of the additional 27.92-per-cent interest in the McArthur
River project brings Cameco's stake to nearly 84 per cent. The McArthur
property now being developed in northern Saskatchewan is the world's
largest high-grade uranium deposit, with about 417 million pounds in
reserves, and is expected to begin production in the fall of 1999.
Cameco will also increase its stake in Crow Butte to 90 per cent, adding
another 23 million pounds of uranium to its reserves.

Mining industry gets help from B.C.
"These initiatives are taking firm action to make mineral exploration
and
development an easier and more certain process in this province,"
Premier
Glen Clark said at a news conference in Victoria.
"We want to secure investor confidence and will continue to work with
industry to meet its goal of creating 22,000 new mining-related jobs
over
the next 10 years."
The initiatives include:
- A mining-rights amendment act that recognizes the right to mine,
assures
access to mineral claims, guarantees the right to compensation when
claims
are expropriated for parks and expedites the mine permit process.
- A mineral exploration code creating a one-agency approach for permit
approvals and environmental protection standards designed specifically
for
exploration.
- Appointment of a mining advocate.
- Introduction of a refundable mineral-exploration tax credit worth
up
to
$9 million annually.
"The mineral exploration code's one-agency approach to the management
of
exploration and its exploration-specific standards and procedures will
greatly simplify the administration of the mine-finding process," said
B.C. & Yukon Chamber of Mines executive director Bruce McKnight.
"The recognition of compensation rights due to park creation is a
milestone that has a major positive impact on investor confidence in
B.C.," said Doug Horswill, chair of the Mining Association of B.C. and
Cominco Ltd. environment and public affairs vice-president.
However, Sierra Legal Defence Fund executive director David Boyd called
the
changes a "complete nightmare for British Columbians."
He said there was no public consultation outside the mining industry
and
that the government had rewritten the law of compensation by
converting
mineral claims into land rights.
"There's guaranteed compensation for any claim," Boyd said. "If I was
a
miner I would head into any area that environmentalists have said
should be
a park. The cost of creating a park has just gone through the roof."
The responsibility of the yet-to-be-appointed mining advocate will be
to
create within government a positive investment climate for mining.
In addition, the advocate will recommend amendments to statutes and
regulations to encourage responsible mining and facilitate resolution
of
mining-related operational disputes and permitting delays within
provincial
agencies.
The exploration tax credit will be available to individuals and
corporations for exploration activities after Aug. 1.
Details of the program, including eligibility criteria and application
procedures, will be worked out in conjunction with the industry during
the
next three months.
In addition, the current new-mine allowance that allows 133 per cent
of
qualifying capital expenditures on mines beginning production before
Jan.
1, 2000, to be claimed for mineral tax purposes will be extended for
10
years.
"Over the last few years the mining industry has faced some
challenges,"
said Employment and Investment Minister Dan Miller who is responsible
for
mining.
"I also know this is a dynamic industry that is vital to our economy,
especially in the north.
"That is why I am committed to working to ensure it continues to
provide
jobs and economic opportunities for British Columbians."
The government has been repeatedly warned in recent years that the lack
of
primary exploration threatens the future of the B.C. mining industry.
"Primary exploration expenditures are considerably below the level to
maintain a prosperous industry in this province," Price Waterhouse
partner
Mike Smith said last year.
Primary exploration spending by the major mining companies has
totalled
about $8 million a year for the past few years.
The total increases to about $100 million when junior exploration is
included but that figure is still well below the $150 million to $200
million a year necessary to replace diminishing reserves.
The industry in B.C. employs 16,700 directly and a further 25,000
indirectly.
The average mining salary, including benefits, is about $75,000 a year.

Miners hail B.C. plan, eco-groups up in arms
Miners applauded and environmentalists fumed yesterday as the B.C.
government launched four mining-friendly initiatives to encourage
exploration.
"We've had a long, painful slide in exploration spending in B.C.,"
said
Bruce McKnight of the B.C. and Yukon Chamber of Mines. "I'm hoping
we'll
look back and say this was a turning point for the industry in this
province."
The possible "turning point" was a four-pronged plan unveiled
yesterday,
calling for the creation of 22,000 new mining jobs by ensuring
compensation
for parkland expropriation, easing government red tape and
duplication,
creating a mining advocate, and offering an exploration tax credit of
up to
$9 million a year.
Gary Livingstone, president of the Mining Association of B.C., said
exploration spending in B.C. is "dangerously low."
"The mining industry used to spend $200 to $250 million a year on
exploration -- this year we'll spend $50 to $70 million," said
Livingstone, who expects the NDP initiatives to change those figures.
"Each of these moves will send a positive message to mining companies
around the world."
The reaction from the environmental community was swift and caustic.=20
"They've created a gold rush," said David Boyd of the Sierra Legal
Defence Fund. "This is a huge Christmas present for the mining
industry,
paid for by all British Columbians. I'm absolutely astonished by this."
Merran Smith of the Sierra Club had just finished a press conference
listing the B.C. government's top 25 environmental errors when Premier
Glen
Clark unveiled his mining-friendly moves.
"This is number 26, and it's a whopper," said Smith, who questioned
the
argument that mining creates jobs. "Fish are jobs. Damaging the
habitat
for fish is going to cost jobs.
"If you put tourism and fishing together, that's more jobs than
forestry
and mining."
Clark conceded that former premier Mike Harcourt's green regime,
setting
aside huge areas as parkland, didn't win the NDP any friends in the
mining
sector.
"That put us, to some extent, on a collision course with the mining
industry. It's not been easy, because there are some deep
philosophical
differences.
"We have not had a good working relationship with the mining industry
for
the past seven years."
Progressive Democratic Alliance leader Gordon Wilson said the dramatic
announcement may prove to have more sizzle than steak. "The mining
initiative sounds like the jobs and timber accord, and those jobs
never materialized."
OUR-PRONGED MINING-FRIENDLY PLAN UNVEILED
The four mining initiatives:
- A mining rights amendment act, recognizing the right to mine and
assuring
access to mineral tenures. The act also ensures compensation to
companies
whose claims or exploration activities are in areas expropriated for
parks.
- A mineral exploration code to create a one-agency approach for
permit
approvals.
The government promises that red tape and duplication of permits will
be
reduced, and companies will have special environmental protection
standards
specifically for exploration.
- A mining advocate with a mandate to improve the investment climate
for
mining and advise government on needed changes to encourage mining.
- A refundable exploration tax credit worth up to $9 million a year.

INCO FOCUSES ON STRATEGY TO BE THE MOST PROFITABLE AND LOWEST-COST NICKEL
PRODUCER
TORONTO, April 22 /CNW/ - Inco Limited must change
the way it does
business today in the face of a very competitive environment and low
prices if
it wants to become the most profitable and lowest cost producer in
the world,
says Inco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael D. Sopko.
Speaking to shareholders at the Company's Annual
General Meeting today,
Mr. Sopko added that the 97-year-old company is taking the tough steps
needed
to restructure its global business and will develop new, low-cost production
capacity to maintain leadership in nickel well into the 21st century.
The Voisey's Bay nickel deposit in Labrador remains
high on Inco's
priority list of development projects. But it is not without challenges
in the
areas of the environment, land claims with aboriginal groups and negotiations
with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. Any of these issues
could
delay the project, he said. Still, the Company believes it is feasible
to
produce its first nickel concentrate from Voisey's Bay late in the
year 2000.
``We wish to proceed with full development of Voisey's
Bay, but only if
it makes economic sense to our shareholders,'' he said. ``This commitment
was
always subject to the technical and economic realities of the project.
It was
never unconditional.''
While the Newfoundland government wants a full refinery
and smelter on
the island, Mr. Sopko said Inco has excess smelting and refining capacity
at
its Sudbury and Thompson operations and the price of nickel is much
lower
today than when the Company acquired the Voisey's Bay deposit.
``What obviously makes sense is a solution that
allows us to build
processing facilities in Newfoundland and permits your company to receive
an
acceptable return,'' he told shareholders.
Inco President Scott Hand said Inco's goal in its
Canadian operations,
which are undergoing a major restructuring, is maximizing cash flow
and
profitability by focusing on profitable mine production, not volume.
He said restructuring has called for hard decisions
but said the Company
has ``no choice if we are to ensure the ongoing competitiveness of
operations.'' Noting that more than half the 1,000 people leaving the
payroll in
the Ontario Division are retirements, he said Inco is doing as much
as it
possibly can to ease the transition.
He described Inco as ``asset-rich'' with outstanding
development projects
at existing mines in Canada and Indonesia, at Voisey's Bay and at Goro
on the
south Pacific Island of New Caledonia. Projects with the greatest returns
to
shareholders will be developed first.
While pointing to depressed nickel prices for Inco's
recent weak
financial results, Mr. Sopko said the Company is making progress with
first
quarter nickel production costs dropping by 8 per cent over the same
period
last year.
Nickel demand in 1998, he said, continues to be
good and outside of
Japan, the Asian market is still strong. In 1997, high levels of Russian
nickel exports and increased use of stainless-steel scrap saw nickel
supply
outpace demand by about 1.6 per cent.
Mr. Sopko said Inco has the game plan, assets and
skilled people to make
Inco a profitable company in virtually any nickel price environment
and the
low-cost leader well into the next century.

Voisey's not viable?: U.S. report doubts return will justify investment
The Voisey's Bay nickel project is no longer economically viable, says
one
of the oldest and largest investment houses in the United States.
Even if outstanding aboriginal land claims and compensation issues are
successfully resolved, it may be impossible for the Voisey's Bay Nickel
Company to proceed with the Labrador mining project as it now stands,
says
a comprehensive market performance report issues by Goldman Sachs,
a
New-York-based investment banking and securities firm established in
1869.
Low nickel costs, an uncertain tax regime, high electricity costs and
huge
capital costs have rendered the project unfeasible, said the company's
base
metals analyst Amy Gassman. Further delays could occur as the project
changes, Gassman wrote.
In her Inco report, dated March 30, Gassman recommends several options
for
the company, including refining and smelting the nickel at existing
facilities in Sudbury, Manitoba or Asia; reducing the amount of nickel
produced or downsizing and delaying the startup of labor-intensive,
underground mining portion of the project.
The report does not mince words.
``Based on the full purchase price, and initial and sustaining costs
over
the life of the project, the Voisey's Bay project, as it was originally
conceived and adjusted to reflect the economic demands of various interest
groups, is no longer viable and is incapable of generating adequate
returns
to Inco, in our opinion,'' the report stated.
In an interview with The Evening Telegram, the author of the report
confirmed her concerns.
``The reason why it is not viable is if you take the acquisition costs,
plus initial capital and sustaining capital, you end up with returns
that
are inadequate to justify the investment,'' Gassman said from New York.
The report did not rank the importance of impediments but Gassman said
low
nickel prices were probably the most significant factor. Government
action
appeared to be a close second.
``So when you take all of these factors, plus long-term price forecasts
for
nickel ... plus uncertainty as to what the royalty costs will be, what
the
power costs might be, plus what the changes in the mining tax might
be ...
the project is not viable,'' she said.
Long-term nickel forecasts have dropped from $3.75 -$4 US per pound
in 1996
to $2.75 to $3 US, Gassman said.
The Newfoundland government has carried out its own analysis of the
Voisey's Bay nickel project which shows it's both viable and ``financeable.''
What the study isn't, however, is ``releasable'' to the public.
Bruce Hollett, an official with the province's Voisey's Bay project
office,
the lead negotiator in discussions with Ottawa and Inco Ltd., owners
of the
VBNC and the Labrador mineral find, said Friday the study is confidential.
``It's a standard code of conduct,'' Hollett said, adding much of the
data
in the study is corporate information handed over by Inco.
In general terms, Hollett said the project office has consulted widely
with
mining industry experts and believes the project can work and is one
of the
lowest costing, ``most profitable projects in the world.''
But Gassman's report holds a clue as to why the province came up with
a
different analysis: it left out the $4.3 billion Inco shelled out for
the
Labrador nickel, copper and cobalt deposit.
``Clearly the exclusion of the acquisition cost would have a significant
bearing on the province's perspective on project return levels,'' Gassman's
report stated. ``The province may gradually be coming to the realization
that outside of the (nickel-rich) ovoid, Voisey's Bay is not the bonanza
nickel project that it was once perceived to be.''
Resolving the issue will likely require Newfoundland to realize there
will
be fewer jobs spread over a longer time, and Inco to realize a lower
level
of production and lower initial returns, the report stated.
VBNC vice-president Rick Gill did not comment on the analyst's report
and
said the critical path for the company now was the Environmental Impact
Statement.
The Voisey's Bay environmental assessment panel received more than 100
written submissions about the EIS, the panel's Brian Torrie said, and
was
on target to have its review of the EIS complete by May 1.
If the company's several-thousand-page report is determined to cover
all
environmental guidelines, public hearings will be scheduled. If not,
VBNC
will be sent back to the drawing board.
