- Speaking of “the road”, this from an editorial: “Ring of Fire Road: Which way? Won’t say … A $785,000 study into options for an all-weather route into the Ring of Fire has been completed, but the province — which funded half of the study’s cost — has yet to make it public … Last week, Ontario’s Northern Development and Mines Minister, Michael Gravelle, said the province is reviewing the study, which was overseen by a consortium of four RoF First Nations … Based on earlier proposals floated by RoF mining proponents, such as Noront Resources and Cliffs Natural Resources, an all-weather route would either travel east to west, or north to south … Someone in authority has to say, definitely, here is the route, and this is where it’s going to go.”
