Canadian developer Osisko Gold Group (TSX-V, NYSE: OGG) is going ahead with construction of the $841 million Cariboo underground mine in central British Columbia, targeting a first gold pour in early 2029.
Cariboo, which was about 22% complete as of the end of July, carries about $990 million in future capital obligations, Osisko said Monday in a statement. Commercial production is expected to be reached in the second half of 2029, following a 30-month construction period.
Osisko’s final investment decision “formally transitions Cariboo from development to active construction, representing a key de-risking milestone,” RBC Capital Markets mining analyst Harrison Reynolds said Monday in a note.
