Wasamac Gold Mine Project

Agnico Eagle is proposing the construction, operation, decommissioning and abandonment of an underground gold mine located in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, approximately 15 kilometres from downtown Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. As proposed, the Wasamac Gold Mine Project would have a mine life of 11 years and an ore production capacity of 6053 tonnes per day. The project would include the operation of an underground mine, the construction of an ore processing plant and related infrastructure, and the development of underground infrastructure for ore and waste rock transportation as well as waste rock, tailings and overburden accumulation areas.

 

Please note that the proponent for this project was previously Monarch Gold Corporation (2020 to January 21, 2021) and then Yamana Gold Inc. (January 21, 2023 - March 31, 2023).
