Ambler access road approved

The US Bureau of Land Management has inked a Record of Decision (RoD) for the Ambler Mining District Industrial Access Project, approving the development of the northern route to provide access to the Ambler mining district.

ASX-listed South32 and TSX and NYSE-listed joint venture (JV) partner Trilogy Metals on Friday said that the permitting of the proposed Ambler access road was a significant milestone, and that the road would unlock the economic potential of the region by allowing greater access to the district and the potential development of the Arctic project, which is in a remote area of northwest Alaska.
