Ann: NTEC Mining Services Agreement Signed, page-33

In general, I agree with both you and ArgylePink on this announcement, having appreciated both your commentary over the last little while (being a long-term holder in this since the HWK days). I do however, disagree with you BRP about the Board seat. Personally I think its a brilliant move. Both at long-term relationship building and as business decision. There is a need for companies working in the renewables to show that they are just not fossil-fuel Mark II and business as usual in terms of their relationships with Indigenous Peoples the world over. Having First Natinos representatives on the board positions AZL right on the cutting edge of these discussions as it affects the company and allows it to understand and hear of potential challenges, opportunites and headwinds way before they become common knowledge. And I like the fact that Big Sandy seems to now have a champion to bring it to fruition.
