Toronto’s Galleon Gold has named a contractor to begin underground development at its West Cache Gold Project, west of Timmins.
The company said it has issued a Limited Notice to Proceed and Letter of Award to Aki-Dumas Limited Partnership, a partnership between Mattagami First Nation and Dumas Contracting.
A July 7 Galleon news release said Aki-Dumas is tasked with carrying out the detailed engineering, development planning, procuring long-lead items and building all the mine-related infrastructure.
In a statement, company CEO David Russell called the announcement an “important milestone” to advance West Cache.”
Aki-Dumas combines Dumas’ extensive underground mining expertise and strong track record in the Timmins mining district with Mattagami First Nation’s deep connection to the region. Their early involvement allows us to advance box cut preparation and project execution activities while the definitive agreement is finalized.”
