IAMGOLD’s proposed Côté Gold Mine Project, near Gogama, is undergoing a review process to determine if a federal environmental assessment is required.
The company is proposing the development, construction, operation, and remediation of an open pit gold mine and associated infrastructure. The proposed mine site would process 60,000 tonnes per day of ore, with a mine life of approximately 15 years.
The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is seeking comments from the public on the project and its potential effects on the environment. The agency will post a decision on its website whether a federal environmental assessment is required. If it is, the public will have three more opportunities to comment on this project.
