Port to be revitalized as Ring of Fire gateway

THE NORTHERNMOST heavy-cargo port on the Great Lakes is being developed by the BMI Group and the Red Rock Indian Band.

The two groups signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that will allow them to explore the redevelopment of lands formerly used by a linerboard mill in Red Rock, Ontario, as a deep-water port. Red Rock is on the northernmost shore of Lake Superior, just off the Trans Canada highway, about 110 km northeast of Thunder Bay. It is the closest port to the Ring of Fire mining development area.

The Red Rock Integrated Marine Supply Chain, RRIM SC partnership between the BMI Group and the Red Rock Indian Band intends to connect the Great Lakes seaway to existing transportation infrastructure from the Red Rock
