Situated approximately 520 km northeast of Yellowknife, the Goose Project is designed as a fly-in/fly-out operation with a seasonal winter road for bulk supplies and a permanent airstrip for personnel transport. The project includes a centralized processing facility, open-pit and underground mining infrastructure, and a fully equipped camp with rotational accommodations. The project is creating hundreds of jobs in construction, trades, camp services, logistics, environmental monitoring, and mine operations.
