When do they plan to start on the Minaret Rail head junction to get the coal out. Just west of High-Way 37 North is the Pretium Bruce Jack Mine ( Look it up on google, Excellent Pictures) that has been under construction for a couple of years for 100's of millions of dollars. Had to use helicopters to put in the power lines. Excellent pictures of the camp and mill construction in a wilderness rock and snow jungle. They still have snow there in June. You would need a good road and camp to start any mine infrastucture. Hope they are starting soon. It is -22 Celcius or about 0 degrees Farenheit today up there. A lot of questions as to how they plan to get 100000 Tons of sample out of there in 2017. 100000 Tons is 833 Railcars full at 120 Tons each. Pretium Bruce Jack has 600 people working on site already for a couple of years. Hope someone announces soon the detailed plan to do all of this in a couple months. Mech.

Thanks for the info. From the Island myself and not familiar at all with that neck of the woods other than some good times and the best fishing day of my life in Prince Rupert.

Atrums original plan was to punch a road west to connect to 37. Now it seems that they want to punch a road west and truck it to the Minaret railhead, down to Ridley in Prince Rupert, off load onto trucks and haul back up north on 37 to Stewart (11 hour round trip + load/unload time per truck I am guessing).

Any idea why it would be any easier going down what seems a more convoluted southern route than just punch west to 37?
