this week to describe the potential relation-

“One of the reasons that we went ahead and made our
offer to the minority shareholders of CanCel was the
unwillingness of the forest service to deal with Kootenay and
CanCel as two independent units,” the BCRIC president said.

“A ‘potential investor is there with the money and like
any other business proposition you've got to satisfy him’ that
it's got the kind of rate of return Gece he's Willng to put thie,
money in,” he continued.

“And of course that's why we're trying to assemble that

“We're really quite nopeful that this is one’ of those,

their eff ina

ownership of CanCel.

Voicing views similar to those. raised in previous
statements by CanCel senior management, Helliwell noted

“In terms of the fibre studies I'd say we were about two

He noted the size of a pulp mill is gauged almost in

But completion of various pares feastbllity ‘studies will

“That work probably is about four to six weeks ‘away,”.
the CanCel executive said. “By then we'll know what the cost

But the BCRIC president was quick to dismiss the
suggestion that, CanCel would find it easier to justify an

“From that point of view there will be absolutely.no
