Media Advisory: KWG Resources to Hold Press Conference Discussing Ring of Fire-Northern Ontario Job Creation Plan Prior to Northern Leaders’ Debate in Thunder Bay
THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO–(May 26, 2014) – Media are invited to attend a press conference hosted by KWG Resources (TSX VENTURE:KWG) at 11:15 a.m. on the front steps of the Valhalla main lobby entrance, Monday, May 26, 2014. The press conference will discuss the details of the company’s Ring Of Fire – Northern Ontario Job Creation Plan, as outlined in its proposed bill “Northland Development Corporation Act”.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Ontario already has a Northern Development Corporation. It is the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission (ONTC).
- The principal operating asset of the ONTC is the Ontario Northland Railroad (ONR), which has become starved of freight haulage.
- The discoveries of chromite and nickel in the Ring of Fire could create the potential for much heavy-haulage freight business with which the ONR might become economically viable.
- The ONTC could be governed by residents of Northern Ontario, raise project financing via capital markets to add to heritage infrastructure facilities desired by northern residents of Ontario whose communities it serves.
- This would enable the important participation by those communities, many of which are First Nations.
- This would enable development to be undertaken with the necessary social licence together with the discipline of the capital markets, rather than from the public purse.
