VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jun 03 (MARKET WIRE) — The Planning Institute of BC (PIBC) has named the City of Nanaimo’sDowntown Urban Design Plan and Guidelines the best in the province.The plan, coordinated by D’Ambrosio architecture + urbanism, inassociation with Citizen Plan and Nanaimo’s Design Advisory Panel, wasthe third phase in a series of recent initiatives for the downtown. Itwon first place in the Site Planning and Design category at the PIBC’sannual awards ceremony.The plan impressed the judges with its clear, well thought outpresentation that was designed to appeal to professionals and the generalpublic.”The document reads like a well-written urban design text book, walkingthe reader through all 12 distinct areas of the downtown core,” said PIBCPresident Lindsay Chase. “This is a must-read for anyone practicing orstudying urban planning and urban design, and it will serve the people ofNanaimo well.”The project involved the community through the Planning Commission,Neighbourhood Associations and the Downtown Nanaimo Partnership. The PIBCconsiders public engagement a key aspect of any planning exercise.The PIBC, through its Awards Committee and Awards Program, recognizesexcellence in the planning profession and amongst its members. Otheraward winners included:- District of West Vancouver: Community Dialogue on NeighbourhoodCharacter and Housing (Comprehensive Policy and Plans under $75,000)- Cities of Colwood and Langford: Joint Official Community Plans(Comprehensive Policy and Plans $75,000 and over)The PIBC also awarded two student fellowship awards.

These awards allowstudent members to participate and present their academic work at the2009 BC Land Summit held in Whistler at the end of May. This year’swinners are:- Nancy Hofer, a student in the UBC School of Environmental Planning- Jeff Zukiwsky, a student in the SFU School of Resource andEnvironmental Management (Planning) program.The Planning Institute of BC is an association of BC and Yukonprofessional planners.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jun 03 (MARKET WIRE) — Klondike Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE: KS) (the ‘Company’) is pleased toannounce that a program of underground rehabilitation and subsequenttest-mining is under way on the 4755 Level of the Silvana Mine in thehistoric Sandon Silver Camp of south-central British Columbia.The Company is the largest landholder in the Slocan Camp, which hasproduced more than 24 million ounces of silver plus by-product basemetals since the late 1800s. The land package includes ten historic minesand a fully permitted 100-tonne-per-day mill.At the Silvana Mine, Company personnel have identified several small butpotentially economically mineable areas beyond the limits of productiveformer stopes developed in the early 1970s. These areas lie roughly 100feet (30 metres) or more in elevation above the main 4625 Level aditaccess.

Detailed re-examination of historic records, including assaysfrom diamond drill holes and chip/channel samples, show the possibilityof mineralized areas amenable to small-scale mining using best-practicegrade control to achieve desired economic returns.The work program now under way includes replacing a timbered ore-chute on4625 Level at the base of the gravity muck pass from 4755 Level,rehabilitating the skipway and manway between the two levels,re-establishing compressed air, water and electrical services andbringing mining equipment up to 4755 Level.Initial test-mining will be by sub-drifting in the Main Lode structuretowards the identified areas of interest. Channel and muck sampling willbe carried out to identify the best sections for stoping. The muck fromthe development will be evaluated and stockpiled as appropriate.The mill run of economic-grade material from test-mining at Silvana willfollow the completion of processing of millfeed from the Company’s StumpProperty (Yukon Territory).The Main Lode structure – the principal source of the Slocan Camp’ssilver-lead-zinc production – is more than 5 miles (8 km) long, extendingfrom Silverton on Slocan Lake in the west to Sandon in the east throughthe ‘Silver Ridge’ of the Selkirk Mountains, 30 miles (50 km) north ofNelson, BC.The Silvana production was from a length of less than one mile (1.5 km)of the Main Lode under Silver Ridge, westerly from the Silversmith Mine,a former major producer near Sandon. The Company holds approximately 1.5km of the ground to the west of this productive zone, to within a quarterof a mile (0.5 km) of the Mammoth Mine.About 1.5 million tons of ore was locally processed or direct-shippedfrom these historic operations. Total recovered production to 1964 fromthe western segment was 9.5 million ounces of silver, 45,000 tons of leadand 60,000 tons of zinc. The eastern segment yielded approximately 9million ounces of silver, 43,000 tons of lead and 13,000 tons of zinc.The eastern segment was the first area developed and mined, and as aresult less zinc was recovered from processing, likely because the metalwas less sought after or was difficult to recover using technologyavailable at the time.Almost all of this recovered production came from a zone within the MainLode lying roughly between 4,000 feet (1,200 m) and 5,500 feet (1,700 m)elevation. The central unexplored portion of this prospective deep zonepasses for 2.5 miles (4 km) beneath the 5,000 (1,500 m) to nearly 8,000feet (2,400 m) approximate elevations of steep-sided Silver Ridge.
