, believes that "the market for metallurgical coal is strong worldwide, driven in particular from increased demand from Asia. Historically high prices are driving the development of the coal industry in B.C." He also notes the company's addition of Dr. Mark Hart, a respected expert with over 30 years experience managing coal mines and energy companies, to the management team as a positive development.

Risks noted in the report, relate to those facing junior mining companies, and include the fact that success is dependent on the exploration and development of the Groundhog coal deposit, and is subject to grade risk, recovery risk, finance risk, and cost overruns. Other risks include volatility in start up and operating costs, especially given the current inflationary environment for labor caused by the mining and energy boom in Western Canada. Also, as with all junior mining companies, WHD's common share price is highly correlated to the global price of specific commodities.
