Road Washout Slows Production at North American Tungsten Mine

North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. (TSXV:NTC) announced it will reduce or end operations at its Cantung mine due to Nahanni Range Road washouts.

As quoted in the press release:

The Nahanni Range Road is the sole ground transportation link to the Mine, used for employee transport, deliveries of fuel, supplies and critical materials necessary for the Mine’s operations.

According to official reports most of the Southern Yukon has been affected by heavy precipitation combined with a very fast snow pack melt. The Alaska Highway and the Robert Campbell Highway have also been seriously affected. The Company is working closely with the Yukon Government and numerous private contractors to rectify the problems as quickly as possible.
