A new prospectors’ trail, connecting Anima Nipissing Road and the Anima Nipissing Lake-to-Bay Lake north portage has been constructed. The road may be to access mining claims in the Kitt Lake area. As this road falls under the Mining Act, it has not undergone any form of environmental assessment or public consultation.

These photos were taken at the Anima Nipissing Road in October 2007 by Tim Bankerd.

FOT is monitoring this development and is in communication with the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. We are attempting to ascertain whether or not the work followed all applicable regulations. We are also looking into the impact of prospecting activities on trails, portages, and heritage sites.
