Hamlet expanding Itivia site to upgrade staging area for other mineral exploration companies, local businesses, and for hamlet use
Main Objective: to increase efficiency in loading and offloading sea lift materials
Changes in Community Land Use Plan in the past 12 months have shown some of these new developments for the Itivia Site.

Rankin Inlet: 13 Fuel Tanks
Diesel Fuel Storage (8 tanks): 17 million litres
Gasoline Fuel (2 Tanks): 3 million litres
Aircraft Fuel (3 Tanks): 9 million litres
6 additional tanks completed in the last 2 years.
Reason:
Community Growth.
Significant Increase in Airport Movement.
Spin off from Agnico Eagle Mine

12. All Weather Road – Rankin Inlet to Meliadine Lake
All-weather, $21 million, 24-kilometre road that will link Agnico-Eagle Mining’s Meliadine Gold Mine Project to Rankin Inlet
This will bring workers, fuel, drilling supplies and food to the camp from the community
The road will allow year-round exploration work to continue at the Agnico Eagle Mine Site.
Expected to be completed late Summer – early Fall 2012

13. Nunavut-Manitoba All Weather Road System
Connecting Manitoba Highway System in Sundance (MB) to Churchill, Rankin Inlet, and four other communities in the Kivalliq Region
Total Length: 1,475 km
Tremendous amount of construction and engineering to be done providing large amount of employment opportunity for Nunavummiut
Annual Maintenance Cost estimated between $7-10 million
Need for more services will increase including gas stations, restaurants, service stations, etc.

14. Nunavut-Manitoba All Weather Road System
Business Case Reviewed by the Government in Nunavut in March 2012
MB and NU will present finding to Federal Government in an effort to secure further funding for the project.
Proposed to be built in 3 phases over 14 years.
Phase 1 – Arviat to Rankin Inlet
Phase 2 – Chester Field Inlet to Baker Lake
Phase 3 – Arviat through to Churchill

15. Nunavut-Manitoba All Weather Road System

16. Deep Sea Port Project

17. Deep Sea Port Facility
Ships tend to anchor about half-mile off shore outside the barrier islands and use a barge system to and from ship because Rankin Inlet doesn’t have adequate marine facilities.
Ships have tugs and flat barges which they use to transport goods back and forth costing companies between $60-80,000/day.
All freight comes through Itivia Site with Fuel coming through Johnsons Cove

18. Port Location Options

19. Deep Sea Port Facility
New Marine Facilities will have ships coming in shown as Survey Point
Site is well protected and offers an easier access for ship arrival and departure.
In case of emergency, this site is closer from the exit point
This is also the preferred site for the shipping companies
There is a lot of cargo landing spaces and potential tank farm area
Finally, the Survey Point is a secure place for the community.

20. Deep Sea Port Facility
The floating wharf has been designed to receive a ship about 140 meters long, which corresponds to the biggest sealift ship of NSSI and NEAS going into the Kivalliq Region
The savings for the sealift companies can be transferred into the financing of the port for the Hamlet through harboring fees

21. Deep Sea Port Facility Logistic Savings
Decrease in unload time for sealift boats from approximately 8 days to 3 days)
Sealift companies will not require staff to be flown in to unload the boat (estimated to 5 men @1000$/day + flight tickets)
Easier and Safer fuel transfer from boat to shore decreasing overall environmental risk

22. Deep Sea Port Facility Outcomes
Provide safer, cheaper and faster sealift/stevedoring services.
Create new and welcome infrastructure for industrial and non-industrial usage
Local social and economic development (Employment opportunities and building local expertise)
Create an opportunity for increased fishing in the area (larger vessels)
Strengthening Long Term Business Relationships with other communities in the Kivalliq Region and Nunavut
Undertake public investments establishing Nunavummiut as self-sustaining
Greater Establishment of Canada’s Presence in the Arctic

23. Deep Sea Port Facility
P3 Partnership – Partnership between the Public and Private Sectors.
Port Cost: approximately $20 million
Jobs Created (Port Specific):
Anticipated Completion Date: August 2013

24. Deep Sea Port Facility: Agnico Eagle
Port should be ready for beginning of Agnico Eagle’s Construction phase in 2013.
During the construction phase of the mine, over the next 3 years, Agnico Eagle will be able to receive 3-5 dedicated sealifts approximately 55,000 tons per year
During the operation phase of the mine, they will receive 2-3 dedicated sealifts of approximately 45,000 tons per year

25. Meliadine Mine Project
