When you look at the Agenda, you will notice Michael Gravelle's name, our ROF co-ordinator, and Cliffs.
Notice also the nameStephen Lindley, Vice President Aboriginal and Northern Affairs, SNC Lavalin Inc. I found this interesting. SNC Lavalin has a VP of Aboriginal and Northern Affairs? SNC-Lavalin is one of the leading engineering and construction groups in the world and a major player in the ownership of infrastructure, and in the provision of operations and maintenance services.
TORONTO, Nov. 2 - Noront Resources Ltd. ("Noront" or the "Company") (TSX Venture: NOT) is pleased to announce that they have retained SNC-Lavalin Inc. to complete an Infrastructure and Transportation Study for the McFaulds Lake Project. The Study is intended to review all potential transportation alternatives and routes from site to existing permanent infrastructure such as road and rail lines in Northern Ontario.
The study is intended to be in two phases with the first phase to be completed in the first quarter of 2010. The first phase will evaluate all options and recommend a preferred route and method of all season access into the site. The first phase will also define a work program required to minimize the transportation risks in support of a Feasibility Study. Assuming successful completion of the early phases and the subsequent field work, the Feasibility Study on Infrastructure and Transportation will be completed by the fourth quarter 2010.
Mr. Paul Semple Noront's Chief Operating Officer commented, "We are very happy to have SNC-Lavalin as the newest member of our growing technical team. SNC-Lavalin brings a wealth of global experience in challenging locations as well as the development of major infrastructure projects. Their recent experience in our project vicinity, as well as similar developments such as the Bathurst Inlet Port and Road and their policies in working with Aboriginal Groups will prove extremely beneficial to the advancement of this part of our project."
SNC-Lavalin (TSX:SNC) is one of the leading engineering and construction groups in the world and a major player in the ownership of infrastructure, and in the provision of operations and maintenance services.

Dear Colleague: Mineral exploration expenditures in Ontario have reached a new historical record high — $825 million. Mineral discoveries and future developments are estimated to be in the billions. This creates a spectacular opportunity for you to undertake new projects and/or expand existing businesses. Learn how to create wealth from the exploration and monetization of these stranded resources at this conference! Insight Information has organized a comprehensive event and assembled a select group of government and industry leaders and experts to help you understand what you must do in order to be successful. All the presenters are well known in the Ontario resource scene, and will be sharing their insights into what it is that defines the Ontario resource sector and more importantly, how you can participate in developing the Province’s resource endowment. You will also hear from companies presently involved with the exploration and development of those resources and also the general economic, regulatory, and financing environment related to resource projects in Ontario. You will be able to address your questions and comments to presenters during sessions and informally during networking breaks. You will also be provided with an information binder that will assist you and your organization in the assessment of opportunities and to build your network of contacts. We invite you to join us at this defining Ontario resource event! Yours truly, |
Michael Fox |
