We’re on track to restart production by the end of this year at the Touquoy gold mine, following the Board’s final investment decision on the Project.
The Touquoy mine, in Nova Scotia, Canada, involves the reprocessing of stockpiles from which we expect to produce 38,000 oz gold over 2027 and 2028 – before the plant is relocated to 15-Mile for large scale production from mid-2029.
The FID follows recent permitting approvals from the Nova Scotia Department of Environment and Climate Change.
St Barbara has engaged two local Nova Scotian companies (Alva Construction and MacGregor’s Industrial) to provide support services for the reopening and processing at Touquoy.
St Barbara Limited Managing Director and CEO Andrew Strelein said: “The processing of stockpiled ore at Touquoy is a significant step forward for St Barbara in Nova Scotia. It demonstrates the province is open to investment in resources projects, will provide for nearly 200 new jobs within the province and add to the province’s growing GDP all while responsibly managing our shared environment.”
Nova Scotia Minister of Natural Resources and Renewables, The Honourable Kim Masland said: “I am pleased to see that the contracts being signed will employ Nova Scotians, especially in rural areas, and keep them working here, close to home.”
