First Nations near Timmins to build infrastructure for new Crawford mining project – CBC
Mar 04, 2025
Agreement announced during Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada convention
Canada Nickel is still waiting on some government approvals to launch its promising Crawford mining project near Timmins, but it’s already picked who will help build some of the needed infrastructure.
Mattagami, Matachewan and Flying Post will have first dibs on contracts to build a railway line and a temporary highway overpass.
Companies from those communities will also be given preferential access to do the work required to relocate part of Highway 655 to make way for the new mine.
