RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:4 Messages from Former Engineer for BC HydroYou're not even looking at a map, I can tell. First of all, Fort Nelson is meaningless to the Casino mine site. It's 1126km from Carmacks, the nearest town to the mine. Take a look at this article from just 7 weeks ago. This is the most relevant point:
"For the roughly 1,200-kilometre project to happen, you would need to work with five Yukon First Nations, several British Columbia First Nations, the Yukon and B.C. governments and multiple federal agencies. Two government owned utilities would need to be heavily involved as would First Nations development corporations, federal funding agencies and private investors."
That is not a 3-4 month project. Even Paul W.S. says this project gets to construction & production of concentrate using trucked-in LNG to generate on-site. A grid connection is a wonderful improvement in operating efficiency and CO2 emissions, but isn't happening in the next decade.
