Ltd. [HBK-TSXV] also hopes it can capitalize

and director, Gary Musil, says Highank will
begin expanding its production within one
year of the project's anticipated start-up.

Port of Prince Rupert, a $1.3 billion federal
initiative that has now grown to a massive
infrastructure expansion valued in excess
of $40 billion.
