Hey all,
I received a good link from my good friend at Bechtel which discusses the merits of slurry transport. Posted below for your perusal, it's a bit dated but worth the read if you want some more insight.

I think the pipeline idea sits well with most of the FN, except for Moonias (Marten Falls) who perhaps realizes that the slurry idea may have merit and is fostering a bit of dissent among the Matawa, thus his negative comments. Resents the east-west route, even though Marten Falls will get it's permanent road to Webequie as past of the infra.
Cheers,
