Access Description: Access to this deposit is very good. There is a major logging road running northwest of the southern boundary of the deposit. This road is 15 km along Route 66 southwest from Highway 11 at Kenogami Lake. The main portion of the peatland can be reached by secondary roads leading from the main logging road. Except for the northwest corner, the deposit is surrounded by these logging roads which, with a little upgrading, would accommodate any vehicles used in site development. REF: OFR5540, VOL.
