Powerline and Access Road ROW Permit Applications
Work continues on the permitting processes for the Powerline to replace the on-site diesel generators, and for the permit for re-construction of the Moss Mine Access Road as part of the Moss Mine Optimization Project. Westland Resources Inc. has completed all the field mapping work required for compilation of the Biological Report and the Cultural Inventory Report, which will be supplemental to the permit applications.
