Smelter coming, roads coming it'll be a big year $NOT

""Concerning the much-anticipated Ring of Fire developments, Pirie remains steadfast that the Noront Resources ferrochrome smelter will eventually be coming to Timmins, despite the current plans for it to be located in Sault Ste. Marie.

“Noront won’t be the company that builds that. Just two weeks ago, I was talking to Al (Coutts, president and CEO) and those discussions are still ongoing. We know Sault Ste. Marie has had a few setbacks. We want and we will get that smelter here in Timmins.”

The plan is still to host the smelter east of the city at the Kidd Metallurgical Site, well away from homes and businesses.

“Development is favoured if you have a brownfield site, and we have a brownfield site. It sits there because of 150 million tonnes of polymetallic material that has been mined over the last 50 plus years, and why would you want to develop another one of those.”

Pirie feels that Timmins has a leg-up moving forward.

“Sudbury doesn’t want it. Thunder Bay doesn’t want it. There are some questions with Sault Ste. Marie.""
