Northern Ontario-focused gold producer Detour Gold has optimised and de-risked the life-of-mine (LOM) plan for its flagship Detour Lake gold mine, adding about three years to the mine life and lifting LOM gold output by 1.8-million ounces to 15.1-million ounces.
“We are very pleased to report this new life-of-mine plan. For the first time, the technical report was prepared by Detour Gold’s technical team. We were successful in delivering a gold production profile above 650 000 oz/y and a mine plan that significantly reduces the front-end strip ratio.
