e Martin, Grand Chief of Mushkegowuk Territorial Council this afternoon announced anounced plans he has received a proposal from TGR Rail, a private southern Ontario railway company to enter a partnership build rail lines to transport ore from the Ring of Fire east to Timmins and on to the port of Moosonee or south into southern Ontario.
Grand Chief Martin hinted that if successful this rail proposal will benefit Northeastern Ontario including Timmins. The conscensus of those gathered at the Five Nations Energy Symposium is that rail must be an important part of the transportation system as it would be too costly to truck what is primarily rock so that chromite and other minerals can be extracted and refined.
