STIKINE ENERGY CORP. 
By New motors and motor controllers for the attrition scrubbers have been delivered and assembled at the pilot plant and operations have commenced using the new equipment. Over the past 2 weeks, the Company's consultants and contractors have conducted tests to compare a variety of scrubber settings and power configurations, in addition to maintenance on other equipment. Once the plant is running at steady-state, samples will be collected and prepared for proppant testing.
Stikine is focused on becoming a dominant frac sand supplier to British Columbia's developing shale gas industry. The Horn River, Liard and Montney Basins are large-scale gas plays led by major producers who currently rely on frac sand transported over great distances. Stikine's Nonda project is located in close proximity to the Horn River and Liard Basins and the Angus project lies in close proximity to the Montney Basin. The projects were identified in 2009 through a systematic search for raw material sources possessing the different frac sand sizes used in each basin and the potential for large-scale resource development. Stikine is currently completing resource estimates, engineering and baseline environmental work in addition to community consultation for both projects.
