The idea was first put forward when they were first planning the mine several years ago. They did build a haul road for their trucks and have been using that, but a railway would allow them to increase production. At the same time, the government has imposed some very strong environmental protection laws. They have to figure that part out before they can get permits. https://www.baffinland.com/ Will MacKenzie Dundas, ON |
