Resolute Forest Products says it's on target to open its new sawmill in Atikokan and a retooled plant in Ignace next year.
President Richard Garneau says construction on the Atikokan plant will start soon, but must still do some site work at Sapawe.
The company is spending $50 million to construct the Atikokan plant and $32 million to upgrade its Ignace operation.
