The Nunavut Impact Review Board hearings are this week and next week in Pond Inlet and Iqaluit, and can be joined virtually. If approved, the expansion would see the mine double its current annual production of iron ore to 12 million tonnes. To move that ore, Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation would build a railway to replace an existing trucking route. To ship the iron ore out of Nunavut, the company says there would be one or two vessels travelling to and from Milne Port each day. For members of the public outside of Iqaluit and Pond Inlet, the live proceedings are being broadcast on Uvagut TV.
