Detour Gold and PDX Resources are edging closer to building a mine in northeastern Ontario.
The mining exploration partners say a pre-feasibility study on its Detour Lake project will be complete by the middle of this year followed by a feasibility study shortly afterward.
Detour Gold has outlined a measured resource last July of 10.8 million ounces of gold on the property located 8 km west of the Ontario-Quebec border and 140 km northeast of Cochrane.
In a Feb. 18 release, the companies said the time frames for pre-feasibility and feasibility will allow engineering consultants to "maximize opportunities for both cost reductions and project enhancements."
