interesting Noront nickle timeline

[goodheart-r]

The Marten Falls road would be shared with industry to allow for the movement of ore mined in the Ring of Fire to be hauled south to a potential truck-to-train transfer facility on the CN Rail main line near Nakina. Noront Resources, the largest claimholder in the area, expects to start building its first mine in 2021 to be ready for commercial production by 2024. AECOMs report said a detailed construction schedule will take into account potential environmental impacts such as breeding and migratory birds, and other wildlife species. Besides clearing the bush for the corridor, the construction activity would involve carving out temporary access roads and staging areas, erecting work camps, developing quarries, and installing bridges and culverts. The CEAA is also taking comments for a shorter Ring of Fire supply road between the exploration camp at McFaulds Lake and the community of Webequie First Nation. The proposed 107-kilometre road from the community would end at the site of Noront Resource future Eagles Nest nickel mine. The commenting period for that corridor closes Aug.12.
