Got it. Yes, probably to a wayside pit. I can make out the remains of a small yard at the end. The Hudson's Bay Lowlands are dotted with eskers which are natrually occuring glacial deposits of sand and gravel.
Would be good to see the 2025 report and compare the numbers between the 2 yrs.Further to the Railway, good progress

. It only contributes 25% of Nunavut's GDP.
Sound like a Transmountain pipeline deal to me.Baffinland is $1B in debt, lacks liquidity to buy fuel for this season’s sealift

Govt didn't approve the expansion after the Company spent $1.5 billion on it. Now said Company is $1 billion in debt and can't pay its creditors
Chinese are going to come in and buy this for pennies on the dollar!
1/90th of the HSR good for the economy of Nunavit but doesn't pass the indigenous test. Can see both sides of this sort of but I can also envision the same outcome for any developments involving first nations/Eby with the BC bunch. So tell me again why the pipeline people are going to jump at the chance to gamble a billion on a new development. I may be totally out of touch but if by investment councilor were to propose this to me I would be looking for a new councilor.Baffinland is $1B in debt, lacks liquidity to buy fuel for this season’s sealift

Basically the exact same scenario.
This is also a reason I place very little faith in HSR or the Churchill Port Project everyone is drumming up at the moment. This Country is good at one thing... using red tape...
Consolidate and transfer to the Gov't of Nunivut of all the fuel? They were emptying the tanks ahead of the announcement. These two pieces of information support each other. Reactive, drain, move fuel elsewhere. Yah that was a decommissioning prep trip.Nanisivik Naval Facility: From this (late October 2025, via RCN Pacific info-machine - also archived here) ...

Why didn't it get approved? Local opposition it looks like was extremely stiff. So did NIMBY's do this to their own community? Situation seems much more complicated than simple Govt = bad because of red tape, though that seems to feed a certain narrative. Which level of government canned it? Was it a territory, fed or local thing (or some combinations of those)?Baffinland is $1B in debt, lacks liquidity to buy fuel for this season’s sealift
