Baker Lake company prepares for mine

If Cumberland Resources goes ahead with building a gold mine near Baker Lake, local company Arctic Fuel Services will be ready.

On Wednesday, the company announced a partnership with Edmonton-based Clark Builders that would see the companies make joint bids during the possible construction of the mine.

Arctic Fuel has both NNI and NTI designations, and offers services in retail and wholesale, fuel supply, property rental, janitorial and bussing services and heavy equipment.
