Tree Clearing activities are complete for this phase.

Early Earth Works continue in preparation for the Temporary Effluent Water Treatment Plant project component. The Temporary Effluent Water Treatment Plant is located South of Hardrock Road, includes activities such as hauling and placement of material South of Hardrock Road, with gravel extraction taking place from the Kenogamisis Pit located North of Highway 11 behind Between Bridges Inn. Other activities taking place at the Temporary Effluent Water Treatment Plant area include the erection of modules and steel structure as well as the construction of the Temporary Feed Pond. The erection of lodging facility modules and Waste Shelter within the Temporary Lodging Facility pad area located South of Old Arena Road will continue. These activities will cause additional tractor trailer traffic on Highway 584 and Old Arena Road leading to the Temporary Lodging Facility entrance. The East Service Road adjoining Highway 11 and Hardrock Road and the Temporary Plant Site Access Road adjoining Highway 11, past the Greenstone OPP Detachment and across from the Mosher Shaft will continue road construction activities. In addition, the East Service Road will commence the installation of power lines. The Temporary Power Line Installation construction will continue with the installation of power line poles between the Mosher Shaft and the future Plant Site Access along Highway 11.

The Early Earth Works, Road Construction, the installation of modules and steel structure and power line poles involve the use of heavy equipment such as: zoom booms, cranes, excavators, bulldozers, tri-axle haul trucks, and loaders. Please be advised of an increase in haul traffic on Highways 11 and 584, the Hardrock Road, Old Arena Road, East Service Road and the Temporary Plant Site Access Road. For health and safety reasons, we wish to caution the general public to limit non-essential traffic within Hardrock Road and the Temporary Effluent Water Treatment Plant area during the Early Earth Works and erection of modules and steel structure.

The safety of our employees, contractors and the general public is paramount as we continue to prepare for construction of the Greenstone Mine.
