Transportation

Are you still planning tobuild a road to the camp site?
And, if you do build a road how long will thecamp be operational?
Will it be seasonal still, or would it be open year round?

The Kiggavik mine will require a road between Baker Lake and the site to transport supplies to the mine. The mine site would operate year-round, but the road may be seasonal. The current plan is to start construction with a winter road and re-evaluate whether an all season road will be required after a couple of years of operating with the winter road. We plan to have public access to the all-season road with controls to protect people and wildlife. Over the life of the mine, the road would operate for about 20 years. The start of construction of the road depends on the outcome of the environmental assessment process and market conditions. The start of construction would not be before 2015.
