Worksite/Project
Hemlo Gold Mine
The Hemlo Gold Mine sits about 35 kilometres east of Marathon in northwestern Ontario, along the Trans-Canada Highway north of Lake Superior. One of Canada's longest-running gold camps, Hemlo was discovered in 1981 and has produced gold from both underground and open-pit operations since 1985, yielding roughly 25 million ounces to date. The camp historically hosted three mines — Williams, David Bell, and Golden Giant — of which the Williams operation and its associated underground zones remain active today. The site is supported by established infrastructure, including a 10,000-tonne-per-day mill and a modern underground complex accessed by shaft and ramp, with a western open-pit expansion planned to begin in 2027. The property spans more than 45,000 hectares along the Hemlo greenstone belt and holds over a decade of gold reserves, with an active exploration program targeting further growth near existing infrastructure.
