The Northwest Territories government has signed an agreement with North Star Infrastructure to construct the Tlicho all-season road to the community of Whati, 50 km south of TSX-listed Fortune Minerals’ proposed Nico cobalt/gold/bismuth/copper mine.
As part of its proposed development, Fortune plans to construct a spur road to connect with the Tlicho road in order to enable concentrates produced from the mine to be transported south for processing to value-added products.
