4 Port and Supply Chain Competitiveness
4 Port and Supply Chain Competitiveness This chapter provides a description of the competitive situation with respect to the use of the Port of Skagway for mineral concentrate, re-supply and potential intermodal traffic. 4.1 Mineral Concentrate – Port Competitiveness 4.1.1 Port versus Port Ports and their linking transport logistics chains for the Yukon’s major export products were assessed from the perspective of estimates of truck transport costs to competing ports. In the case of mineral development in the Yukon, the only practical ports for access are Skagway and Stewart. The following analysis thus focuses on these two ports. Very few route options exist for the movement of mineral concentrates: Alaska Highway (1) Robert Campbell Highway (4) Klondike Highway (2 and 8) Canol Road (6) Stewart Cassiar Highway (37) These are illustrated in Figure 4-1 below. FIGURE 4-1 Principal Highways SKAGWAY PORT DEVELOPMENT PLAN 4-1 4. PORT AND SUPPLY CHAIN COMPETITIVENESS As noted earlier in this report, mining activity is focused in areas surrounding Carmacks, Ross River and Watson Lake. Any mineral concentrate traffic would have to move through these communities to get to a port. Accordingly, it is useful to determine the distance from each of these communities to the ports of Skagway and Stewart and the associated transportation costs. Table 4-1 provides a summary of the distances, via various routes, to the ports at Skagway and Stewart. TABLE 4-1 Distance to Ports Origin Destination Routing One-way Distance (km) Carmacks Skagway Hwy 2 350 Stewart Hwy 2/1/37 1,218 The Skagway Advantage 868 km Ross River Skagway Hwy 4/6/1/8/2 435 Hwy 4/6/1/2 495 Hwy 4/2 579 Stewart Hwy 4/1/37 1,017 The Skagway Advantage 438 – 582 km Watson Lake Skagway Hwy 1/8/2 513 Hwy 1/2 573 Stewart Hwy 37 648 The Skagway Advantage 75 – 135 km As indicated in this Table, Skagway is much closer than Stewart for mines in the Carmacks and Ross River areas.

Haines Rail Access Report
HAINES RAIL ACCESS REPORT APRIL 2014 April 18, 2014 HAINES RAIL ACCESS REPORT Prepared for: The Borough of Haines and The State of Alaska Prepared By: ALCAN RaiLink Inc. Operating as PROLOG Canada Inc. HAINES RAIL ACCESS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides a business case assessment for rail access to tidewater at Haines, Alaska for Yukon mineral exports, and to bridge Alaska Railroad traffic from the south. Haines, Alaska is in a regionally unique position of having a well protected, deep water port with substantial back-up lands available to support high volume rail operations that may be required to fully develop Yukon resources. In turn Yukon mineral resources are the principal traffic source available for a Haines railway project. As summarized in the following chart, this report has updated the full resource development potential, as well as Alaska Railroad bridge traffic, that would support, and be supported by, Haines Rail Access over a 30 year investment life-cycle. Potential Haines Rail Access traffic peaks at over 6 million tons/year excluding Crest Iron Ore traffic, which is 28 million tons/year. Haines Rail Access Traffic Forecast 7,000,000 Min (Total Producing) 6,000,000 Near (Producing+Advancing) 5,000,000 Mid (Producing+Advancing 4,000,000 +Probable) 3,000,000 Max (Prod.+Adv.+Prob.
