Mr. Gerry Egan:

We have a fairly good handle on the extent of the deposits of stone, sand and gravel, etc. across the estate. We were involved in an active campaign of marketing them four or five years ago.

Clearly, with the reduction in the level of road building and construction, demand for that had softened in a big way and we have effectively stepped back from that. Hopefully, the day will come again when they will become significant.

With regard to other deposits, such as precious metals, we have done no work in that area. However, the geological survey may have a broad understanding of where such deposits might be.
