“We’re very pleased that Tony will continue in his advisory role for KWG now that development alternatives for the Ring of Fire are being considered,” said CEO Frank Smeenk. “To have a premier “railroad man” in our group is crucial, when the long-term economics of moving a bulk commodity from Canada’s north to markets at a great distance south, is being assessed. We know he will continue to make a significant contribution to that process for this frontier project, from his wealth of experience in his frontier development industry.”
