Abstract:
Foran Mining Corporation is North America’s only single asset company building a copper and zinc mine right now – and it is called the McIlvenna Bay Project. Our mine is in northeastern Saskatchewan. The Project is a billion dollar investment directly into northern Saskatchewan that is targeting commercial production in the first half of 2026. This will be Saskatchewan’s first base metals mine in almost 30 years. This presentation will provide an overview of the construction of key features associated with the McIlvenna Bay Project including environmental protection features, provide an overview of safety performance and safety management, and provide information on construction to date and next steps.
