Marban Gold Mine Project

Agnico Eagle Mines Limited is proposing the construction and operation of a new open-pit gold mine located in the Dubuisson Sector of Val-d'Or, in Quebec. As proposed, the Marban Gold Mine Project would include the mining of three open pits, the construction of a new ore processing plant, new waste rock, tailings and overburden stockpiles, the relocation of an existing road and the diversion of a permanent watercourse. The project would have a maximum ore production capacity of 16,400 tonnes per day and a 10-year life span.

Please note that the proponent for this project was previously O3 Mining Inc. (2022 to March 18, 2025).
