NI 43-101 Update (September 2012): 11.1 Mt @ 1.68% Ni, 0.87% Cu, 0.89 gpt Pt and 3.09 gpt Pd and 0.18 gpt Au (Proven & Probable Reserves) / 8.9 Mt @ 1.10% Ni, 1.14% Cu, 1.16 gpt Pt and 3.49 gpt Pd and 0.30 gpt Au (Inferred Resource)
My suggestion:
Pay attention to the stuff I bolded and underlined in the Webequie EA
notice the PICKLE LAKE PART.(that means connection to an east west road)
and notice the broadband and dev. of transmission lines...
(Remember the house of commons comment about ripping the road up 3x and disrupting people three times......in my previous post?)

Note the bolded and underlined parts from the Webequie EA in the most recent link above:
Webequie First Nation is proposing the construction and operation, including maintenance, of a 107-kilometre all-season road connecting the Webequie Airport and the McFaulds Lake area in northern Ontario. The corridor would be approximately 35 metres in width in order to accommodate a two-lane gravel surface industrial supply road and could enable future infrastructure development such as transmission lines and broadband. As proposed, the Webequie Supply Road Project would connect Webequie First Nation to existing mineral exploration activities and potential future mineral development in the Ring of Fire area. The project could also become part of a future all-season road network connecting Webequie First Nation and the Ring of Fire area to the provincial highway system in Nakina and/or Pickle Lake.
From Dec, 2018
Notice Coutts mentioning only....aroland/nakina as a route in those um err....delayed timelines....
The forecast is less aggressive than one discussed earlier this year, when Noront CEO Alan Coutts indicated that if an all-season road was completed to the site west of James Bay by 2022, the miner could start producing nickel and copper out of its Eagle’s Nest deposit later that year, with revenues from that mine financing development of the firm’s nearby Blackbird chromite mine after that.
Coutts has said production at the Noront deposits is linked to construction of an all-season road from the Aroland/Nakina region to the Ring of Fire. In May, the Marten Falls First Nation signed a voluntary agreement with the provincial government to make the Marten Falls community access road project — phase one of two phases contemplated to reach the Ring of Fire — subject to the Environmental Assessment (EA) Act. In November, Marten Falls engaged Aecom to facilitate the EA and do preliminary design work. But representatives of Marten Falls recently said they do not expect the EA to be finished before March 2020 and if other issues are resolved by that time, such as funding for the project, construction of phase one could take two to three years.
“While road permitting is advancing, Noront doesn’t expect to see production from Eagle’s Nest until 2023 at the earliest,” Coutts indicated in an email.
