Perhaps another reason for Coutts and Smeek to talk....
"Noront, which has been leading the charge for a east-west corridor from the Ring of Fire to Pickle Lake, is now backing a winter road from Marten Falls, while KWG is proposing an east-west “forestry road” from Pickle Lake to the Ring of Fire that will somehow link five remote First Nation communities.
“We went to the forestry guys and the First Nations and asked them where do you want a road and where can you build one. Our route is about one-third of the price and goes where the First Nations think it should go and where the forestry guys say they can build it.”(Smeek)
