ister of Northern Affairs, today announced that he had authorized the grouping for exploratory purposes of ninety-seven oil and gas permits jointly held by two independent Canadian oil companies in the Yukon Territory. As a resalt, it is expected that during the next five years some $8 million will be spent in drilling five or more deep test wells. The proposed wells are in the vicinity of the Eagle Plain Peel Plateau Reservations where an intensive oil exploration program has been underway in recent years. The two companies are Canadian Husky and Canadian Superior of California. According to a new report permits were Iss; ued for more than 30 million acres in the Yukon and NWT last year.
