The Burns Lake mill destroyed by an explosion and fire last January will be rebuilt. The Babine Forest Products owners, U.S.-based Hampton Affiliates, said the financial challenges connected to timber supply will not stop reconstruction efforts.
The new Babine sawmill will be two-thirds the size of the old mill to reflect reduced log availability and will have the ability to cut dimension lumber for a variety of markets. The new mill is anticipated to start up in early 2014
