On the one hand, PBM is committed to having a highdegree of consultation with the LBN and has, over many years, sought to builda long term trusting relationship with the LBN. But, on the other hand, thePBM board has a fiduciary duty to its investors and shareholders to protectthe company against defamatory and damaging statements."We are moving forward with the LBN. The LBN's damaging press release,while highly unfortunate, will not prevent us from doing our very best toconsult," according to Erik Tornquist, Executive Vice President & COO of PBM."But we have to take care of our shareholders and investors. We see no way outof the dilemma created by the LBN press release other than to leave thedefamation and damages issues to the courts and otherwise act in good faith toconsult with the LBN in the ongoing environmental assessment process."Indicative of how PBM is moving forward is its recent agreement, after theLBN press release, to provide capacity funding to the LBN to enable effectiveconsultations in the environmental assessment process. PBM has also agreed towork with LBN to develop a communications protocol. These and othercommitments originated from offers made by PBM some two to three years ago(but which did not receive any LBN response for long inexplicable delays).Lake Babine Nation, located northwest of Prince George, is one of thelargest First Nation communities in British Columbia with a population whichincludes the communities of Fort Babine, Old Fort, Tachet, Donald'sLanding/Pinkut and Woyenne.To view information regarding Pacific Booker Minerals Inc.,(NYSE: PBM; CDNX: BKM.V) please visit our website home page and reportssection at http:// Contact:Gregory R.
