Horizon North Logistics Inc. Announces 2019 Capital Spending Plan

CALGARY, Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Horizon North Logistics Inc. ("Horizon North" or the "Corporation") (TSX: HNL.TO) announced today the Corporation's 2019 capital spending plan.

Horizon North exits 2018 with a strong balance sheet and believes it is well positioned to continue advancing key strategic initiatives while executing an expanded but disciplined capital investment program in 2019. The Corporation plans to invest approximately $50 million in gross capital expenditures in 2019 in a phased approach throughout the year.

Horizon North will allocate approximately $25 million to the development of its previously announced Crossroads Lodge open camp located in Kitimat, British Columbia. This project is the first stage of development of Horizon North's 57-acre land position within the District of Kitimat which will be focused on supporting liquefied natural gas ("LNG") and other industrial development in the area. The project is garnering significant customer support with the first phase of operational occupancy expected in early 2019.

Horizon North intends to allocate the balance of the capital plan to the expansion of its Modular Solutions division and replenishment and growth of its Rentals and Logistics asset profile, including rental mats to support incremental customer demand, as well as transportation and logistics fleet assets.
